Fresca Sol Water Cooled Light System

Achieve real cool results with Fresca Sol™ -- a top of the line Water-Cooled Light System designed to take all the heat produced from your HPS bulb and transfer it through water to a designated cooling area.

Installation Instructions & Photos

Step 1:
Remove Fresca Sol from the box

Step 2:
Remove socket bracket with a Phillips screw driver and set aside.

Note: For vertical installation skip to Step 4.

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

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

Step 4: (Vertical Installation Only)
Fresca Sol should hang with the socket side up.

Note: The bottom of the unit has a safety drain, which is built for 1/4" hose. Draining hose should be directed away from other vertical lights.

Step 5: (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 6:
Plumb your system together.

Step 7:
Place hose clamps on all 1/4" soft piping ends.

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

Step 8:
Place hose with clamps over all fittings. Tighten all hose clamps with screw driver. This will help prevent leaks.

Step 9:
Proceed to check your entire system. Be sure to check that all joints are secure, especially to and from the pump.

If using PVC, allow glue to dry sufficiently.

Step 10:
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 11:
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 12:
Fit the socket bracket onto socket.
