UV Sterilizer Upgrade Instructions

Important Safety Precautions

It is recommended that you plug the chiller into a GFCI outlet at all times. Do not operate SeaChill chillers or any accessory
to SeaChill chillers (heater or UV sterilizer) without water flow. Overheating of lamp or heater may occur.

After installation, monitor unit for at least an hour to confirm there are no leaks.

DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT ULTRAVIOLET LAMP WHEN ON. EYE INJURY MAY OCCUR

Do not handle the glass of the UV lamp with your bare hands or fingers, this will damage the lamp.

To avoid potential electric shock, care should be taken since

aquarium equipment involves use of electricity and water. For
each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by
yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility
for service or discard the appliance:

1. Unplug chiller from wall outlet before installation of
UV sterilizer. Only plug chiller in when directed to by
the installation instructions.

2. If electrical components of the chiller or UV sterilizer
get wet do not plug in until thoroughly dried

3. Examine the UV sterilizer closely after installation.

Do not be plug in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.

4. Do not operate chiller or UV sterilizer if it has a

damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or
damaged in any manner.

7. Do not use the UV sterilizer for other than intended
use. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by the UV sterilizer manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.

8. Do not install or store the UV sterilizer where it will
be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing.

9. Make sure the UV sterilizer is properly installed
before use.

10. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a
proper rating. A cord rated for less Amperes or watts
than the chiller with UV sterilizer may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not
be tripped over or pulled.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.

6. Always unplug the chiller from an outlet when
before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet.
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

Parts & Tools

Unscrew the Ring Nuts and remove the shut off valves from
the chiller.

Use channel lock pliers or similar to loosen plastic nuts
holding the housing in place. It is not necessary to grip nuts
tightly, a loose grip will help prevent scarring of plastic. If
desired, a piece of duct tape may be used to cover the teeth of
the channel lock pliers to prevent scarring of the plastic nuts.

Once loosened, manually remove the plastic nuts.

Pull upwards on rear of chiller housing, loosening it on the
