FAQs
Is this ballast compatible with my FiltoMatic 7000?
No, this 24w ballast is specifically designed for the CWS 12000 and 14000 models.
How do I know if the ballast has failed?
Typically, the UV light will fail to turn on even with a brand new, functional bulb installed.
Do I need any special tools to replace the ballast?
No, the replacement process is tool-free for most FiltoMatic models, utilizing a simple locking system.
Does this unit include the UV bulb?
No, the 11460 part number refers specifically to the ballast transformer; the UV bulb is sold separately.
Is the ballast waterproof?
The ballast is designed for use in a waterproof housing, but the unit itself should not be submerged in water during maintenance.
Troubleshooting
UV bulb does not illuminate after installation
Verify that the bulb is securely seated and that the ballast is fully locked into the filter head.
Ballast housing becomes excessively hot
Power down immediately and ensure there is no water ingress in the ballast chamber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting the replacement, ensure the power supply to the pond filter is completely disconnected. Access the UV unit head by following your FiltoMatic instruction manual, typically involving a twist-lock mechanism. Carefully remove the old ballast and slide the new 11460 unit into place, ensuring the pins are correctly aligned. This ballast is exclusively compatible with the FiltoMatic CWS 12000 and 14000 models. When maintaining the unit, keep the housing dry and ensure that the O-ring seals are clean and seated properly to maintain the IP rating of the electrical housing. Avoid using harsh solvents to clean the housing; use a soft, damp cloth if necessary.
