✨ Elecro Quantum Single Classic 55W Photocatalytic Water Treatment System (Q-65-UK)

Advanced ceramic nano crystal technology for crystal clear, chemically-reduced pool water up to 65,000 litres

💧 Product Overview

The Elecro Quantum Single Classic is the ideal mid-range solution in the Quantum range, delivering powerful water treatment for residential and medium-sized commercial pools up to 65,000 litres (65m³). This single-lamp system harnesses advanced ceramic nano crystal technology to provide sterilisation capabilities that far exceed conventional chlorine treatment.

Featuring a 55W low pressure/high output UV lamp, the Quantum Single Classic employs revolutionary TiO₂/Mo photocatalytic nano crystal technology — the same science capable of sterilising sewage into drinking water without chemicals. The system combines photocatalytic oxidation (PCO), hydroxyl radical generation, and UV sterilisation to destroy dangerous microorganisms including cryptosporidium, adenoviruses, and naegleria fowleri that chlorine simply cannot eliminate.

Engineered and manufactured in Stevenage, England, the Q-65-UK features an intelligent analogue lamp life indicator, 100% salt and sea water compatibility, and flexible mounting options. Perfect for standard residential pools and swim spas, the Quantum Single Classic delivers crystal clear, safe water with dramatically reduced chemical requirements.

🔬 How It Works

The Quantum Single Classic employs a sophisticated three-stage oxidation process that far exceeds the capabilities of traditional sanitisation methods:

Water enters Quantum → UV light activates TiO₂/Mo nano crystal chamber →

1️⃣ PHOTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION (PCO)

UV light from the 55W lamp energises the TiO₂/Mo ceramic nano crystal catalyst chamber. This reaction creates powerful oxidising agents that instantly destroy viruses, bacteria, and pathogens on contact. The photocatalytic chamber never wears out, providing continuous protection throughout the life of the unit.

2️⃣ HYDROXYL RADICAL GENERATION (HO)

Water molecules split into Hydroxyl Radicals (OH⁻) — nature’s most powerful oxidisers. These radicals attack and destroy pollutants, microorganisms, and organic contaminants at the molecular level. Hydroxyl radicals are significantly more powerful than chlorine, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide.

3️⃣ UV STERILISATION

The UV-C light provides an additional layer of protection, penetrating microorganism cell walls and disrupting their DNA/RNA to prevent reproduction.

→ Only pure, sterilised water returns to your pool

The Science Behind PCO:

The oxidation strength chart shows photocatalytic oxidation at 3.21 EV — significantly higher than fluorine, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, or chlorine. This means the Quantum destroys contaminants that other systems simply cannot touch.

Key Points:

• Photocatalytic chamber never wears out
• More powerful than chlorine, UV, or ozone alone
• Destroys cryptosporidium, adenoviruses, and naegleria fowleri
• Breaks down sun cream oils, urea, and organic contaminants
• Harmless byproducts: H₂O and CO₂ only

🛠️ Installation

Mounting Requirements:

Requirement	Specification
Position	Vertical or horizontal wall mounting
Clearance	Minimum 1 metre from one side for lamp access
Fixing	Wall mounting kit included
Environment	Dry, permanent, weather-proof area

Critical Installation Notes:

⚠️ Install AFTER pump, filter and heater

⚠️ Install BEFORE chemical dosing equipment

⚠️ Ensure adequate water flow before operation — do not run dry

⚠️ Leave minimum 1 metre clearance for lamp/quartz sleeve replacement

⚠️ Must be installed within a dry, permanent weather-proof area

⚠️ If water or moisture enters the enclosure, warranty will be void

💡 Tip: Flow direction is factory set for water entering on the left and exiting on the right. This can be reversed by rotating the flow switch 180 degrees if required.

💡 Winter Storage: If unused during winter months, drain the unit to prevent frost damage. Water must not be allowed to freeze inside the unit.

🔧 Maintenance

Routine Tasks:

Task	Frequency
Check lamp life indicator	Monthly
Inspect connections for leaks	Monthly
Replace UV lamp	When indicator shows (9,000–14,000 hours)
Clean quartz sleeve	As needed / during lamp replacement
Replace O-rings	Annually
Inspect lamp connectors	Annually

Lamp Life Indicator (Analogue):

The Q-65-UK features an analogue lamp life indicator with reset switch. Monitor regularly and order replacement lamps when the indicator shows reduced lamp life.

Annual Maintenance Includes:

• Changing lamp if necessary
• Inspection and cleaning of quartz sleeve (replace if cracked)
• Replacing all O-rings
• Replacing lamp connectors if corroded, wet, damaged or overheated

⚠️ Important: Before performing any maintenance, isolate from the main power supply, turn off the circulation pump, and drain the unit.

⚠️ Warning: UV light is damaging to eyes and skin. Never handle or look directly at an illuminated UV lamp.

💡 Note: The photocatalytic TiO₂/Mo nano crystal chamber does NOT need replacement — it never wears out.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO)?

A: Photocatalytic Oxidation uses UV light to activate a TiO₂/Mo ceramic nano crystal catalyst chamber. This creates powerful oxidising agents and hydroxyl radicals (OH⁻) that destroy pathogens, viruses, bacteria, and organic contaminants at the molecular level. It’s significantly more powerful than chlorine alone, with an oxidation strength of 3.21 EV compared to chlorine’s 1.36 EV.

Q: What size pool is this suitable for?

A: The Q-65-UK is designed for pools up to 65,000 litres (65m³) with a minimum filtration turnaround of three times per day. This makes it ideal for most standard residential swimming pools.

Q: Will this fit my system?

A: The Quantum connects via 2″/63mm stepped ABS unions, with reducers included for 1½”/50mm pipe. Ensure your flow rate meets the minimum requirement of 1.5m³/h and does not exceed 14m³/h. Maximum working pressure is 3 Bar.

Q: What voltage is required?

A: Single Phase 100V ~ 240V at 50/60 Hz. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician with RCD protection (30mA).

Q: How often do I replace the lamp?

A: Lamp life is 9,000–14,000 hours (approximately 2 years average use). The analogue lamp life indicator shows when replacement is needed.

Q: Does the photocatalytic chamber need replacing?

A: No. The TiO₂/Mo ceramic nano crystal photocatalytic chamber never wears out — only the UV lamp requires periodic replacement.

Q: Is this compatible with salt water?

A: Yes. The Quantum is 100% compatible with chlorinated salt water and sea water pools.

Q: Will this eliminate chemicals completely?

A: The Quantum significantly reduces chemical requirements but should be used alongside a residual sanitiser. Regular water testing is still necessary to maintain proper water chemistry.

Q: What’s the warranty?

A: 2 years within Europe, 1 year outside Europe. The warranty does not include serviceable parts such as lamps, quartz sleeves, and O-rings.

Q: Can I mount it vertically?

A: Yes. The Quantum can be installed either vertically or horizontally, provided you leave at least 1 metre clearance from one side for lamp replacement access.

Q: What’s the difference between Classic and Pro models?

A: The Classic model (Q-65-UK) features an analogue lamp life indicator with reset switch. The Pro model (QP-65-UK) includes a digital lamp life countdown display and an intelligent peristaltic dosing pump for automated chemical dosing.

Q: How does this compare to the Mini and Double models?

A: The Single Classic (Q-65-UK) sits in the middle of the range. The Mini Classic (Q-35-UK) has a 30W lamp for pools up to 35m³, while the Double Classic (Q-130-UK) has dual 55W lamps (110W total) for pools up to 130m³.
