Step 1 | Print |
 Remove Fresca Sol from the box.
 
Step 2 | Print |
Remove socket bracket with a Phillips screw driver.
 
Step 3 | Print |
Remove the socket bracket and set aside. install_step_f3.jpg
 
Step 4 | Print |
Note: For vertical installation skip to Step 6. install_step_f4.jpg
 
Step 5 | Print |

Hang light. Note: Make sure Fresca Sol is slanted just slightly (About 3 or 4 degrees)lower on the socket side to allow for drainage in case of O Ring failure.

This allows you to notice any leaks before water touches the bulb.

Step 6 | Print |
VERTICAL INSTALLATION ONLY:

Fresca Sol should hang with the socket side up.

Note: The bottom has a safety drain; the hole is built for 1/4" hose.

The safety draining hose should be directed away from any other vertical lights.

VERTICAL INSTALLATION ONLY:

Fill with water from bottom up, so the return/exit hose (socket side has the return hose) is at the top to help remove air from the housing.

Step 8 | Print |

Plumb your system together. 

Please see "Set Up" section for ideas on how to set up your system. 
 
Step 9 | Print |

Place hose clamps on all 1/4" soft piping ends.

Note: Glue all PVC joints (if that is your application)

Step 10 | Print |
 Place hose with clamps over all fittings.  
 
Step 11 | Print |

Tighten all hose clamps with screw driver.

This will help prevent leaks.

Step 12 | Print |

Proceed to check your entire system.

Be sure to check that all joints are secure, especially to and from the pump.

If you use PVC, allow glue to dry sufficiently. Check directions on glue for

recommended drying time.
 
Step 13 | Print |

 Run water through Fresca Sol and allow for circulation.

Check for any leaks due to plumbing.

 

Note: Do not insert bulb or light fixture yet.

 
 
Step 14 | Print |

 If after an hour or so of running your Fresca Sol through circulation,

and your system is running correctly, proceed to next step.

 

Note: Having a correctly plumbed system is critical before inserting bulb.

Step 23 - 25 | Print |

 23. Before plugging in ballast, test the system again to assure there are no leaks.

Once satisfied, turn water off, and plug in the ballast.

 

24. Allow the system to run fully functional, everything operating,

for several hours. Inspect periodically.

 

25. Once you are satisfied that your system is running properly, you may begin using your room.
