The filter is suitable for burying up to the head rim of the unit. Make sure
access to the body of the system is possible for maintenance purposes.
Burying the unit will help reduce the distance between the filter and the
pond and provide higher return water pressure.
INSTALLATION & USE
Please read the below instructions carefully before beginning to set up your
filter.
DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE MAINS UNTIL SET UP IS
COMPLETE AND UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
1. Prior to installing the unit, examine the quartz sleeve and UV bulb to make
sure these have not been damaged in transportation (see maintenance
section). Handle with care. Do not hold UV bulb with bare hands as this can
affect performance.
2. Connect the required attachments - Choose the required hosetails
(dependent on your flexible hose dimensions) and attach to the filter (utilise
nut and o-ring in tandem to seal tight). On stepped hosetails if using a hose
larger than the smallest dimension, you will need to cut down the hosetails to
avoid restricting the flow of water.
3. Position the filter - unless you are burying the unit, ensure that the filter is
placed adjacent to your pond (at least 2 metres away from the water).
4. Connect your flexible hose to the filter - connect your flexible hose to the
hosetails. Safely connect using either jubilee / wire clips to ensure this is water
tight. Your pump (not included) should be attached to the ‘Water Inlet Point’.
The ‘Water Outlet Point’ should direct water either back into your pond or to a
waterfall adjacent to the pond. Ensure the water direction knob is pointed
towards your ‘Water Inlet Point’ and ‘Water Outlet Point’.
5. Connect the filter to the mains - Connect the unit to the mains using a
residual current device (RCD) for additional safety.
6. Switch on your pump - Switch on your pump and visually inspect that you
have the expected water flow through the filter. Visually check that you have
no leakage.
7. Switch on your filter at the mains - now that you have visually checked that
the unit is being supplied with the required flow of water you can turn on the
UV operation by switching on the unit at the mains.
