Use these instructions to familiarize yourself with the device before you use

it for the first time. It is absolutely essential that you observe the safety

guidelines on the proper and safe use of the device.

For safety reasons, children and young people under 16 years of age, as

well as people who cannot recognize potential hazards or who are not

familiar with these instructions, must not use this device!

Please keep these instructions in a safe place! In the event of a change of

ownership, please pass these instructions on to the new owner along with

the product.

1. Symbols

The symbols used on the device and in these instructions have the

following meaning:

Caution! Important advice about hazards!

Important information!

Caution! Refer to the instructions!

Caution! Disconnect plug!

Lamp is suitable for direct attachment to surfaces with

normal flammability.

Keep away from direct sunlight!

Caution! Magnetic field!

Potential hazards for people with pacemakers!

Caution! Dangerous UVC radiation!

2. Appropriate use of device

The Bitron model range is suitable for cleaning normal pond water between

40°F and 95°F. Irradiation of the pond water with short-wave UVC light

results in algae being flocculated. Optimum cleaning of ponds is achieved in

combination with OASE pond filters and OASE pumps.

5. Electrical connection

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce

the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with an electrical cord

having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug

must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in the risk of electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use any type of

adapter with the product.

6. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection

To comply with the National Electric Code (NFPA 70) and to provide additional

protection from the risk of electrical shock, this unit should only be connected

to a receptacle that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

WARNING – To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and

off the ground. Do not touch plug with wet hands.

This data must be consistent.

– Install the Bitron at least 6 feet from the edge of the pond!

– Position the Bitron so that it will not be emmersed in water.

– Put the Bitron where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight!

– Lay the hoses and the connecting lead in such a way that they do not

present an obstacle and cannot be damaged!

– You must read and follow the safety instructions before the installation!

– The Bitron devices 18C are suitable for a pump capacity of up to

3960 Gph (15000 l/h). The flow rate on the UVC bulb should not exceed

– 580 Gph (2200 l/h) for Bitron 18C

(see “8.1 Bypass setting”)

– The Bitron devices 36C/55C are suitable for a pump capacity of up to

7920 Gph (30000 l/h). The flow rate on the UVC bulb should not exceed

– 1190 Gph (4500 l/h) for Bitron 36C

– 1720 Gph (6500 l/h) for Bitron 55C

(see “8.1 Bypass setting”)

– Please select the filtration system according to Table 7 (page 47).

7.2 Setting up the Bitron

7.2.1 Single-unit setup with hoses (Fig.3)

1. Anchor the Bitron horizontally on a suitable substrate with the feet down.

Use four countersunk head screws (not supplied with the product) to

anchor the Bitron.

2. Hand tighten the screws.

3. Connect the hoses (see “7.3 Hose connection”):

– Water intake D

– Water discharge A(UVC)

– Water discharge C(bypass)

Note: If the pump capacity is less than the maximum water flow of the

Bitron (see “7 Installation”) then the water discharge C(bypass) can be

closed with the sealing cap and flat gasket.

7.2.2 Connection to Biotec 5/10/30 and Biotec 5.1/10.1 (Fig. 1 and 4)

1. Adjust feet so that they are in the correct position (see table and Fig. 1).

To do this, press the grip surfaces of the feet together (see fig.) and slide

the movable portion into the correct position.

2. Place a large flat gasket on each of the water discharges (A, C).

3. Place the Bitron onto the Biotec as shown in illustration 4.

4. Insert an O-ring from inside on each of the water discharges (A, C).

5. Screw the inlet nozzles from inside on the water discharges (A, C). The

inlet nozzle opening must point downward after mounting.

6. Connect the hose to water intake D(see “7.3 Hose connection”).

7.2.3 Connection to Biotec 12/18/36 (Fig. 1 and 5 )

1. Adjust the feet so that they are in position 0 (see Fig. 1). To do this press

the grip surfaces of the feet together (see fig.) and slide the movable

portion into position 0.

2. Place a large flat gasket on each of the water discharges (A, C).

3. Place the Bitron onto the Biotec as shown in illustration 5.

4. Screw the Bitron on tightly with the anchoring nuts of the water distributor

and the O-rings.

5. Connect the hose to water intake D(see “7.3 Hose connection”).

7.3 Hose connection

– Only operate the Bitron with pressure hoses that are approved for at

least 0.5 bar, or for the maximum pump pressure.

– Select the largest possible hose diameter for the connection between

pump and Bitron.

Hose recommendation: Aquamax 1000 SF-1600 SF 1 ¼ - 1 ½ inch

Aquamax 2200 SF-3500 SF 1 ½ inch

Aquamax 6000 2 inch

–Note: We recommend warming up the hose with hot water, pushing it or

twisting it onto the hose adapter and securing with the appropriate hose

clamp. This improves the seal of the connection.

– To avoid pressure loss, saw off the stepped hose adapter at the

appropriate point for the respective hose.

Note: At the end of each step of the hose adapter there is groove for

shortening (see arrow in the fig.).

– Avoid unnecessary angles and curves that lead to additional pressure

loss.

7.3.1 Water intake D

To ensure proper cleaning rotor function, the flow nozzle must be inserted in

the intake duct if there is low water flow and/or a large height differential

between pond surface and the Bitron’s water discharge (see Table 8 and

Fig. 6).

Legend for Table 8 (page 47):

X Flow nozzle must be inserted.

– Flow nozzle not required.

Due to the excessively low water flow, the cleaning rotor will no

longer function even with flow nozzle inserted.

1. To avoid pressure loss, saw off the stepped hose adapter at the

appropriate point for the respective hose.

– Bitron 18C/24C: Stepped hose adapter 1" to 1½”

– Bitron 36C/55C: Stepped hose adapter ¾” to 2"

2. Insert the flow nozzle in the water intake – if required according to Table 8.

The triangular protrusion in water intake D fits into a corresponding

aperture in the flow nozzle.

3. Push the threaded collar over the stepped hose adapter.

4. Push or twist the hose on and secure it with a suitable hose clamp.

5. Insert the flat gasket in the threaded collar. Firmly screw the stepped

hose adapter with threaded collar onto the water intake D of the UVC

device.

6. Layout the hose all the way to the pump in such a manner that it cannot

be stepped on and has no kinks.

7. Connect the hose to the pump according to the pump’s operating

instructions.

7.3.2 Water discharge A and C (only for single-unit setup)

1. To avoid pressure loss, saw off the stepped hose adapter at the

appropriate point for the respective hose.

2. Push the threaded collar over the stepped hose adapter.

3. Push or twist the hose on and secure it with a suitable hose clamp.

4. Insert the flat gasket in the threaded collar. Firmly screw the stepped

hose adapter with threaded collar onto the water discharge A and C of

the UVC device.
