INTRODUCING EVOLUTION AQUA’S evoUV Congratulations on purchasing an Evolution Aqua evoUV. Our range of evoUV pond clarifiers have been manufactured using the latest technology and design techniques. evoUVs have been designed to clear green water which is caused by single celled green algae and prevent it from returning. evoUVs will work alongside many different filtration systems but when used alongside Evolution Aqua’s pond filtration systems, the evoUV will deliver crystal clear and healthy pond water.

evoUV COMPONENTS LIST Cross reference the components listed below, with the diagrams on the previous page.
FLOW RATES Your evoUV will withstand operating pressures of 20 metres head. This means that evoUVs are able to operate with most of the circulating pumps commonly used. Please note: For optimum performance we recommend that you pass the entire volume of your pond through the evoUV unit approximately once every two hours. Please also note that we recommend a minimum flow rate equivalent to passing the entire pond volume through the unit once every three hours.
INSTALLING YOUR evoUV Before you do this, it is important that you familiarise yourself with the diagrams and parts list on pages 4 and 5. The two universal hosetails supplied with the evo30 and evo55, should be screwed into the inlet / outlet at either end of the unit. Hosetails are not provided with the evo110. Hosetails should be tightened using hand pressure only. Ensure that the O-Rings are in position before assembling.
POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE evoUV PLEASE NOTE: Always leave approximately 1 metre of free space at one end of the evoUV for UV bulb and Quartz Sleeve maintenance.

CONNECTION TO YOUR PIPEWORK Connection with flexible hose (evo30 and evo55 only) The evo30 and evo55 is supplied with two universal hosetails to take 1”, 1¼”, and 1½” diameter flexible hose. If you are using one of the two larger sizes, the smaller sections of the hosetails must be cut off to ensure sufficient water flow and to prevent possible damage to the pump. We recommend that you use the largest diameter hose available. The hosetails should be trimmed away from the unit as shown in the diagram below.
CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY Electrical installations must be done by a qualified electrician. The power supply must meet the specifications on the product. The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code: Brown = Live. Blue = Neutral. Earth = Green/Yellow. Do not use the supply cable to lift the evoUV as this may cause damage.
COMMISSIONING & SWITCHING ON THE evoUV Before you run your evoUV, you should first check that you have installed the unit and pipework correctly. Check that the gland nuts and the end caps are tight. Having taken a last look at your pipework to ensure that everything looks right, switch on the circulating pump, and check for any leaks. Only after you have satisfied yourself that the evoUV is installed correctly should you switch on the electricity supply to the unit. Your evoUV is now up and running.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UV Bulb Replacement ALWAYS ISOLATE THE UNIT FROM ANY ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. Please Note: The evo110 model has been specifically designed so that if either bulb fails, both will go out. This enables you to quickly identify and replace the bulb which is not working. Otherwise you may not notice that a bulb has failed, and that your unit is effectively only working at half its potential level of output.
Replacing / Cleaning Quartz sleeve ALWAYS ISOLATE THE UNIT FROM ANY ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. To Replace / Clean the Quartz Sleeve: 1. Unscrew a gland nut from one end of the evoUV. This will be the end where you want to remove the UV bulb / quartz Sleeve. 2. Unscrew the end cap from the same end of the evoUV and slide the end cap down the cable. 3.
In Built Protection The evoUV range of pond clarifiers have thermal overload and internal fuse protection. Thermal Overload Protection - This will automatically switch off the unit should the temperature exceed the maximum operating temperature limits. Internal Fuse - This protects the electrical components in the event of a power surge. Please note: This internal fuse cannot be replaced.
TROUBLE SHOOTING My pond water is not clear, is this due to the evoUV not working correctly? Koi, goldfish and other pond inhabitants can cause murky water by stirring up the bottom of the pond. This murky water should not be confused with suspended algae. Always check all your pond filtration is working and is being maintained correctly prior to checking the evoUV. If the UV bulb is not lit, then you need to investigate the power to your unit. • Has your RCD tripped? If yes, check your wiring and reset.
Is the evoUV suitable for salt water use? The evoUV is manufactured from materials that will not corrode in salt water and it is safe to use your evoUV in marine systems. Can I use my evoUV if I am using any treatments for my fish? Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before using any water treatment as they will tell you whether it’s recommended that the evoUV can be switched off or on.
