Water flow outlet connection Connect the tubing between the water flow outlet and the hose barb inlet. It is recommended that a prefilter be used with the Turbo-Twist to limit the amount of debris entering the sterilizer. WATER FLOW OUTLET HOSE BARB INLET Warning: Never install a valve directly on the tubing between the main body and the aquarium. HOSE BARB INLET CANISTER FILTER WATER FLOW Note: Make sure that the tubing is not carrying the weight of the Turbo-Twist UV Sterilizer. Use the Turbo-Twist brackets to support the unit. WATER FLOW 7. Start water flow Turn on water supply to the Turbo-Twist. Once proper water flow has been established, tilt the unit and let the air bubbles inside the tubing and the main body escape. Examine the unit and check for any leaks. 8. Power up Turbo-Twist Connect the Turbo-Twist to the power supply. Verify that the UVC lamp is working properly, indicated by the light blue glow emitted through the lamp-on indicator. The light from the lamp-on indicator will not affect the skin or the eye.

SOLUTION · Connect the plug to the power supply. · Push the UVC lamp onto the socket until a "click" is heard. · Replace the UVC lamp. · The hose lock nut is loose. · Tighten the hose barb or the hose lock nut. · The O-ring is not in place. · Install the O-ring. UVC Lamp Replacement The UVC lamp has a useful life of about 12 months. To ensure effective performance, replace the UVC lamp once per year. How to replace the UVC lamp Disconnect the sterilizer from the power supply. (It is also necessary to disconnect the power to the water pump.) Remove the threaded cap to uncover the lamp socket. SOCKET Unplug the UVC lamp out of the main body and allow to cool. Once cool, pull the UVC lamp out of the socket (Be careful not to touch the lamp as it may be hot). Make sure that the pins of the lamp plugs into the socket indicated with a "click". Reassemble the Turbo-Twist. 7 UVC LAMP UVC LAMP SOCKET WA R N I N G Please read instructions in their entirety before using the UV Sterilizer. Cut off the power and stop using if the UV Sterilizer was submersed or dampened by water. Cut off the power immediately if water enters into the quartz housing. Cut off the power if there is a burning or smoking smell. Never connect the sterilizer to the power outlet while hands are wet. Never look directly at the unshielded lamp as the ultraviolet radiation emitted from the lamp can be harmful. Always leave a drip loop in the power cord to prevent water from running down the length of the cord and reaching the power outlet. The water temperature flowing through the UV Sterilizer should be below 105oF (40oC). Always disconnect the UV Sterilizer from the power supply before shutting down the flow of water to prevent overheating. Do not pull cord to disconnect power supply. Though the Turbo-Twist is water resistant, it should never be intentionally submersed in water. Always install the sterilizer in a location where there is little likelihood of flooding or water dripping onto the UV Sterilizer. Make sure that appropriately-sized hose lock nuts are positioned on hose barbs before attempting to connect tubing. Only a 120V (60 Hz) electrical source should be used with the Turbo-Twist. 8 Suggested Tubing Connections PUMP PUMP PUMP 9 Coralife Turbo-TwistTM UV Sterilizer Flow Rates UVC Energy (µw sec/cm2) 45,000 55 gph Parasites 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 44 66 88 UVC Energy (µw sec/cm2) 45,000 110 gph Parasites 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 88 132 176 UVC Energy (µw sec/cm2) 45,000 290 gph Parasites 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 220 360 500 Turbo-TwistTM 3x 121 gph Algae 253 gph Bacteria 110 132 154 176 198 220 242 264 286 (gallon/hour) Turbo-TwistTM 6x 240 gph Algae 500 gph Bacteria 220 264 308 352 396 440 484 528 572 (gallon/hour) Turbo-TwistTM 12x 680 gph Algae 1550 gph Bacteria 640 780 920 1060 1200 1340 1480 1620 1760 (gallon/hour) 10Acrobat Distiller 8.1.0 (Macintosh)
