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 Please note: For optimum performance we recommend that you pass the entire volume of your pond through the evoUV unit once every 2 to 3 hours. We do not recommend the use of pumps with operating pressures in excess of 2 bar.
INSTALLING THE evoUV FOR THE FIRST TIME 1. Unscrew the black end cap, taking care to keep the end cap sealing ring safe. 2. Carefully remove the UV bulb and put to one side for later installation. 3. E nsure the locking nut is tight, compressing the O-ring against the quartz sleeve. It is not necessary to use tools for this. 4. Position the evoUV and connect your pipework as shown on pages 8 to 12. 5.
POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE evoUV The table below shows the inlet and outlet sizes of the evoUV: MODEL evo30 evo55 evo110 UK AND EUROPE 1½” BSP 1½” BSP 2” BSP USA AND CANADA N/A 2” NPT 2” NPT evoUV units are splashproof but not waterproof. The unit can be positioned either on a horizontal or vertical surface. When installing vertically, position the unit with the drain plug at the bottom. Your evoUV must not be submerged in water or placed in a position where water may collect around the unit.
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. MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY BUT UPSIDE DOWN Drain plug should be used as an air release valve in this installation.

CONNECTION TO YOUR PIPEWORK The two universal hosetails supplied with the evo30 and evo55, should be screwed into the inlet / outlet at either end of the unit. Hosetails should be tightened using hand pressure only. Ensure that the O-rings are in position before assembling. Please note that there is no correct direction of flow through the unit, either end of the unit may be used as the inlet or outlet. * Pipework fittings are not provided with the evo110.
CONNECTION TO YOUR PIPEWORK Connection using rigid pipe (evo30, evo55 and evo110) The unit may also be rigid plumbed by the use of an adaptor (not supplied). See table on page 6 for relevant fittings. These fittings will screw directly into the evoUV and will enable you to connect to the relevant size pipework. For other installation options please refer to the Evolution Aqua website http://evolutionaqua.com/acatalog/evoUV.
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.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UV Bulb Replacement ALWAYS ISOLATE THE UNIT FROM ANY ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. To Change the Bulb: It is not necessary to stop the water circulating through the evoUV to change the bulb. 1. O n the side that you wish to pull the UV bulb out, slacken off the gland nut on the end cap to release the cable. 2. Unscrew the end cap taking care not to lose the end cap sealing ring. 3. Disconnect the bulb socket. 4.
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: Switch off pumps and if possible isolate the evoUV by closing any valves. 1. D rain the water from the evoUV by unscrewing the drain plug. (You may need to bleed some air, do this by partially unscrewing the connection on the inlet or outlet.) 2. O nce completely drained, remove the UV bulb as described on page 14.
In Built Protection The evoUV range of pond clarifiers have thermal overload protection which automatically shuts down and then enables a fast re-start when the problem has been cleared. This may be as a result of water in the end caps. Please see the troubleshooting section on page 17. Thermal Overload Protection (Only on evo55 and evo110 models) This will automatically switch off the unit should the temperature exceed the maximum operating temperature limits.
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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How often should I change the UV bulb? The evoUV bulb has an effective lifespan of 9000 hours, but it is an accepted practice to replace a UV bulb once a year, at the start of every pond season. How long after I install the unit will my pond become clear? There are many factors which affect how long your evoUV will take to clear your pond, such as the levels of nutrients available to the algae, the water temperature and the level of sunlight.
