Step 3: Hose installation
Connect the intake and outlet tubes (1.37/1.38) to the hoses included with
the kit. Avoid hoses being bent sharply or loops being formed. Shorten
the hoses – if the full length is not required – according to your installation
requirements. The shorter the hoses, the less friction loss there is. Should
you need longer hoses, however, please choose the corresponding di-
ameter [16/22 mm (0.63/0.87 in.) for the UVC-Xtreme 800, and 18/23 mm
(0.71/0.91 in.) for the UVC-Xtreme 1200]. Smaller internal hose diameters
will reduce the flow rate! If you install hard intake and outlet tubing via a
hose connector, please choose an appropriate diameter and make sure
you use 90° elbow fittings and not 90° angle pieces.
Connect the hose from the intake tube coming from the aquarium to the
"IN" valve, and the hose to the outlet tube back into the aquarium with the
"OUT" valve. Use the union nuts for on the valves for securing the hoses.
First loosen the nuts and push them loosely over the hose (7.4).
Then please push the hose ends into the circular gap between the pres-
sure latches and the inner edge of the hose connector. Then fasten the
squeezing screws of the valves by hand (please do not use any unsuitable
tools such as a pipe wrench). Now hoses and taps are firmly connected
to each other (7.5). Then you can connect the valves to the filter head
valve nozzles (7.6).
Mount the spray bar by means of the included suction cup holders un-
derneath the desired water surface of the aquarium and direct it in a way
that the small holes are roughly parallel 5 – 15 cm (2 – 6 in.) underneath
the water surface (7.1).
Connect the "IN" intake valve to the connector on top of the filter head
marked in the same way, and analogously the "OUT" outlet valve to the
"OUT" connector (7.3).
Step 4: Start
Fill the canister with water by about two thirds, and attach the filter head
to the canister appropriately. The UV-C tube (1.20) must be inserted
into the holes of the filter media baskets (1.34). The filter head is now
connected to the filter canister by closing the 4 clip locks (6.2 and 6.3).
Please make sure the filter head seal is seated properly. Now open the
taps on the "IN" and "OUT" valves (6.4) if you have not already done so
yet. Now connect the included ballast to the mains socket and connect
angled barrel plug to the socket on the filter head (6.5).
The motor of the filter will now start running on level 4, the display (2)
will show 4 active LEDs. Now press the "S" key on the control panel
and thus activate the suction pump. Now the suction pump will press air
trapped inside the filter into the "OUT" hose. The suction pump will stop
after 15 seconds, then the motor will start. Water will now run from the
aquarium into the filter. The suction pump can be activated repeatedly
as required in case there is still air trapped inside the filter. The opera-
tional noise will be louder as long as air still gets to the rotor, but this will
disappear after a few minutes. This time can even be shortened if you
set the motor performance to level 8 for a short while.
Step 5: Adjusting the flow rate (choosing the performance setting)
You can adjust the motor performance as required after the air has been
removed completely from the filter.
Pressing the "+" key on the control panel (2) once increases the per­
formance setting of the motor by one step, pressing the "­" key reduces
it by one step each time you press it.
The default setting is level 4. This setting will be active every time the
filter has been disconnected from the mains supply. You will then need
to re-adjust it if applicable.
During operation, you can at any time re-adjust the motor performance
of the filter pump (exception: not while the suction pump is active).

The UV-C amalgam lamp switches on together with the motor and can
be switched off by pressing the key "UVC" (2) if desired. The smaller the
tank, the lower the required hourly water turnover in the aquarium. The
lower the circulation setting, the higher the degree of the pathogen and
algae reduction, since the water passing the UV­C unit is being exposed
to the UV-C radiation longer. Depending on the pathogenic pollution it
may be advantageous to choose a relatively low water turnover at first
and then accelerate it by and by. Certain pathogens can divide every
20 minutes and therefore multiply immensely within shortest time. Once
most of the pathogens have been eliminated with a low motor performance
setting, you can increase the motor performance as required. This is of
course only a pathogen reduction, not a sterilization. Sterile conditions are
impossible in an aquarium with animals, plants, decoration and sand. The
useful filter bacteria are located on the filter media and on surfaces. They
are not affected by the UV­C radiation of the UVC­Xtreme filter.
Switching the UV-C lamp on and off:
The UV­C lamp is switched on automatically when putting the filter into
operation. This is indicated by the blue LED light on the filter head (2). We
recommend permanent UV­C water treatment while the filter is in operation.
1. Switching off the UV-C lamp:
During maintenance, the UV-C lamp can be switched off easily by
pressing the "UVC" key. When doing so, the 8
light up once while the blue LED indicator in the center that indicates
UV-C operation will turn off.
2. Switching on the UV-C lamp:
Press the "UVC" key on the panel (2) briefly. The 8
will light up twice when doing so while the blue LED in the center that
indicates UV-C operation will turn on.
Separating the external filter from the mains supply:
The external filter can be switched off by:
– pulling the barrel plug from the socket (6.5); or by
– pulling the mains plug of the ballast from the mains socket.
Opening of the filter head:
First switch off the external filter by pulling the barrel plug (6.5). Then
close the "IN"/"OUT" taps (6.4). Open the 4 holder clips (8.1 – 8.2), but
leave the filter head in position otherwise. Now you can unscrew the
valves underneath the valve taps (7.6). A small amount of water can run
out of the valve when doing so.
