 Important:If there are people in the water, the pressure filter may not
be in operation.
 The pressure filter may only be set-up out of the water. The pressure
filter has a protective class IPX4.
 Only pumps with a maximum pressure of 2m (0.2 bar) may be
connected.
 Make sure that water can always flow into the pressure filter, never close
all the outlets of the pressure filter before the pump is switched off.
 Clean the drain hoses and filter regularly to prevent clogging, as this
may cause the pressure in the filter to rise.
 The maximum head after the pressure filter must not exceed 2m. (See
illustration 1)
 Connect hoses designed to work at a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar.
 Protect the pressure filter against strong sunlight.
 The pressure filter is only suitable for fresh water, without chemical
additives and with a minimum temperature of 5 ° C and a maximum
temperature of 35 ° C.
 Position the pressure filter on a firm and level surface.
 The VarioPress pressure filters can be partially dug-in, up to the lid of
the pressure filter.
 To avoid running the risk of water freezing in the pressure filter, turn it
off and dry it out. Store the pressure filter frost-free or ensure that it can
no longer fill up with water.
Operating pressure filter (illustration 2, 3 and 3, page 3)The pressure filter
with integrated UV-C unit is a closed filter system for mechanical and
biological filtration of the water in the garden pond..
A. Inlet, connect the supply hose here that is connected to the outlet side
of the pump. The maximum pump pressure should be 2m (0.2 bar).
B. Vortex; floating particles and sludge are deposited by centrifugal and
gravitational forces..
C. Mechanical filtration; dirt particles are trapped on the filter foam, as
the water passes through the filter..
Biological treatment; by micro-organisms that settle on the open pores
of the filter foam and bio-balls. The yellow and blue filter foam with
different sizes and densities, create different water flow rates. In the
areas with strong currents (blue filter foam), where micro-organisms
convert ammonia to nitrate through nitrification. Low flow areas (yellow
foam), on the other hand, contain anaerobic micro-organisms that
convert nitrate to nitrogen (de-nitrification).
D. Biological cleaning: by the bacteria that settle on the bio-balls. (Not for
VarioPress 7000.)
E. UV-C radiation; the water is briefly exposed to ultraviolet radiation from
the UV-C lamp. This kills floating algae, germs and bacteria; when the
algae die, they clump together and can be captured by the filter.
F. Outlet, connect the return hose to the pond or water to this. The water
will flow back from the filter into the pond. The tap is open during
regular functioning and must be closed in the back-wash function. Please
note: the return hose or PVC pipe may not run off for more than 2
metres after the filter.
