FILTREAU UV-C OZONE 80W/120W AMALGAM
WHAT DOES OZONE DO?
Ozone is one of the most effective water treatment sterilizers.
Ozone has a very strong oxidation and sterilization effect on all organic substances and eliminates objectionable
odors. It is for exactly these reasons that it has been used to disinfect drinking water and air for decades and is used
in the food industry. Combined with UV-C radiation, this results in clean, oxygen rich, crystal clear water. The ozone
molecule, O3, oxidizes micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria (incl. legionella), parasites, algae, viruses and even
urine, perspiration, cosmetics, sunscreens, etc.!
Once ozone has reacted and done its job, it disappears from the water without even leaving any by-products
behind. As a result, the use of various chemicals can be minimized by up to 90%!
HOW IT WORKS
The Filtreau UV-C Ozone is placed in the piping of your filter line. The water must be fed to the device through the
venture unit by a pump. Air is automatically drawn in by the water pressure of the water in the venture. The water
pressure can be read on the pressure gauge and is adjustable via the ball valve. The ideal water pressure is between
0.4 and 0.7 bar. The ozone that remains between the quartz sleeve and the ozone UV-C lamp is then drawn through
the venture unit and mixed in the water. This is when the very powerful oxidation and sterilization of the water
occurs. Then the ozone-charged water passes the DUPLEX housing and is exposed to the powerful UV-C radiation,
35% of which is also reflected by the polished interior. All the ozone particles that have done their work are broken
down by this radiation and converted into oxygen. As such, after passing the UV-C radiation, there is no residual
ozone in your water.
Due to the extra wide DUPLEX housing, water has extra-long contact time with both the ozone particles and the
UV-C radiation, resulting in extremely efficient operation!
An additional advantage of the extra wide DUPLEX housing is that it results in minimum pressure loss and is
completely resistant to saltwater.
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• See the Technical Specifications for the required voltage and current.
• The device may only be connected to an electrical installation that meets the legal requirements. A GFCI (30ma)
and earthed sockets are required. If in doubt always use a certified electrician to install.
• The device, the electronics box, the plug and the power cord must be positioned at least 2m from the tank.
• Always keep the plug free from moisture. Ensure that water cannot track down the power cord to the socket.
(See figure 1 for how to loop the power cord).
• Never submerge the device in liquid.
• The device can withstand a maximum pressure of 3 bar.
• The device is suitable for fresh and salt water.
• The device is designed to operate with a water temperature between 0 and 40 degrees C. Outside these tem-
peratures the device must be completely disconnected from the water.
• Before use, check the whole device, power cord and plug for damage. In case of any damage, the device must
not be used. Please let your dealer assess any damage.
• The device may only be connected if there is a sufficient flow of water.
• To avoid possible harm to eyes or skin, the working of the UV-C Ozone lamp should only be checked through the
transparent parts of the device. (The system will indicate if the lamp needs to be changed).
• The special lamp generates ozone, which has a strong smell even in very small quantities. Higher concentrations
of ozone can be harmful to the eyes, nose and skin. Therefore always check the system for leakage.
Proper installation and proper positioning of the O-rings are of great importance.
• During maintenance, the device and pump must be disconnected from the mains. Be aware that the device and
the lamp can remain hot for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected.
