6. Placement and setup
If you plan to install this system in a way that deviates signifi-
cantly from the recommendations in this user manual, allow for
a specialist to inspect the installation to ensure that all techni-
cal specifications have been met.
The drum filter must always be placed in a level position. The
bottom of the filter must be completely supported. It
is recommended to place the system on a flat cement floor.
When positioning the filter, ensure that there is adequate space
on all sides so that you have room to perform maintenance.
The water level at which the filter must be placed is indicated
by an arrow in the first filtration chamber. To ensure that the filtra-
tion system functions properly, the water level must be kept
constant and must not deviate from the required levels. Any
greater deviation will result in an inaccurate measuring of the
water level. If the water level rises by more than 2 cm, the water
will overflow via the duct into the sewage system. To maintain a
constant water level, you can install an automatic filling station
with overflow function for your pond.
For optimal water flow, use all 7 inlet connections. It is
recommended to use flexible rubber sleeves and joints when
connecting the water lines. These can compensate for small
differences in dimensions and also absorb vibration.
Install slide valves or ball valves in front of and behind the filter,
so that the filter can be emptied during maintenance.
Maintain enough distance between the wall and the drain so
that you can remove the drain.
The drainage duct can be connected to a sewage connection
with a 110 mm diameter. Make sure that the duct is positioned
at an adequate incline. It is recommended to install a pipe with
a flexible rubber sleeve. These can compensate for small
differences in dimensions and also absorb vibration. They can
also be detached to remove the drainage duct.
Always use high-quality pipes with an adequate wall thickness.
Ideally, use 45 degree elbow connectors.
Lay the pipes at a downward angle so that they can be fully
emptied during the winter to protect them against frost.
Note! Electrical shock hazard. Use of this electrical system or
installation in connection with a (swimming) pond may result
in severe injury or death.
Only use this system in accordance with national and regional
regulations.
Always use suitable transport and lifting equipment when
transporting and assembling this system.
6.1 Connecting the control box
Ensure that the control
box is not plugged in to the mains
power supply! Open the control box!
Hang up the box on 4 screws aligned with the grooves on the
back of the box. Space between the holes in the wall: w = 280 mm
x h= 251 mm. Remember that the length of the cable for the
electrical equipment is 3 metres. Be careful when opening the
box and remember that the screws you must loosen to open
the door should not protrude when you turn the box open. The
same goes for when you close the box.
6.2 Connecting the electrodes and water level meter
Ensure that the control box is not plugged in to the mains
power supply! Open the control box!
Turn the gland caps on the underside of the box and slide them
over the corresponding cable. Run the cable through the cable
gland into the box, leaving adequate length. Then twist the
gland caps closed again. Connect the electrodes as shown
below using a suitable screwdriver. The labels on the electrodes
match the codes on the connection inside the box.
