5. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and install your TARARIUM Cold Plunge Filter:
- Insert UV Lamp: Carefully insert the UV lamp into the main filter body. Ensure the wires are within the designated groove.
- Install Baffles: Place the baffles into the filter body, ensuring they snap securely into place.
- Place Filter Media: Insert the filter plates or media into the filter body.
- Install Pump: Attach the water pump to the top of the filter body. Ensure it is firmly connected.
- Connect Air Tube: Connect the air tube to the designated port on the pump. The other end of the air tube should remain above the water surface for aeration.
- Secure Placement: Use the suction cups to firmly attach the assembled filter unit to the side of your cold plunge, ice bath, or pool. Ensure it is submerged in water, but the air tube remains exposed to air.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the filter is properly installed and submerged in water (with the air tube above water), plug in the power cord. The filter will begin circulating and purifying the water.
Adjusting Aeration:
The filter includes an adjustable air valve to control the amount of oxygen bubbles released into the water. This helps increase dissolved oxygen levels.
- To increase bubbles: Turn the air valve counter-clockwise.
- To decrease/stop bubbles: Turn the air valve clockwise.

UV Light Operation:
The UV light is integrated for sterilization. A visible indicator on the power adapter or unit will confirm its operation.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your filter.
- Filter Media Cleaning: The filter media should be cleaned every 1-2 weeks. Rinse the filter media thoroughly with clean water.
- Filter Media Replacement: Replace the filter media once a month to ensure continued effective filtration.
- UV Lamp: The UV lamp has a limited lifespan and should be replaced periodically as per manufacturer recommendations (typically every 6-12 months, depending on usage).
- Pump Cleaning: Periodically clean the water pump to remove any accumulated debris that may hinder its performance.
