UV Sterilizer Installation Tips -
For greatest efficency install your unit with both ports pointing up if installing horizonally; if installing vertically the fill line should be the lowest port on the sterilizer to allow air to escape.
If you are running the uv sterilizer on a bypass from a large pump make certain to adjust the flow through the filter to proper GPH. Excessively high flow can reduce and even eliminate any effectiveness of even a properly sized uv sterilizer.
