of debris on the bottom, it is always best
to remove it with a pond vacuum before
installing a new filter.
• The Saturn Booster must be installed
directly after the in-pond pump and
before both the Filter and Ultra Violet
Clarifier (UVC).
• The pump supplying the Saturn Booster
must not have a maximum head
exceeding 6m (9 psi, 0.6 bar).
• The outlet and flush away hoses must not
rise more than 1m above their
connection to the outlet assembly.
To complete the installation you will need
two additional hoses:
1. One of 25mm, 32mm or 40mm diameter
to take the waste from the Saturn
Booster to a convenient flower bed or
drain (the ‘Flush Away Hose’)
2. A hose with the same diameter as your
existing pond pump hose to connect
from the filter bypass valve on the
Saturn Booster back to your pond (the
‘Bypass’ hose).
Assembly
Unpack all contents from the box (Fig 1).
The Booster only requires the fitting of the
inlet assembly (see Fig 2)
• Gently push the inlet assembly into the
lid carefully aligning the two valves (Fig
2B)
• Tighten the two bolts using the Allen Key
supplied (Fig 2C)
Installation
The Saturn Booster should be sited out of
the pond in a position that is easily
accessible and where the waste hose can be
run to a convenient flowerbed or drain. The
Saturn Booster should be connected directly
to your in pond pump hose (i.e. before your
Filter [and UVC if fitted]) (Fig 3). The outlet
and waste hoses must not be raised more
than one metre above the Saturn Booster
(Fig 4); otherwise the filter bypass valve will
affect the performance of the Saturn
Booster.
The Saturn Booster should sit on a smooth
and level surface eg. a paving slab.
Inlet and Outlet Hoses:
• Cut your existing hose with a hacksaw at
the position where the Booster will be
installed, noting that the hose length
between the Booster and your filter
should be no more than 2m (Fig 5).
• If using 32mm or 40mm hose, cut two of
the hosetails supplied with a hacksaw to
suit (Fig 6) and attach to the top
connection on both the inlet assembly
and outlet assembly.
• Wrap the adhesive foam strips around
the hose and position the jubilee clips
over the foam strips to connect the hose
from the pond pump to the inlet
assembly hosetail (Fig 7A), and the hose
to your filter to the outlet assembly
hosetail (Fig 7B).
Flush-Away Hose:
The flush-away hose can have a diameter of
25mm, 32mm or 40mm and connects to the
bottom connection on the outlet assembly
using the hosetail and jubilee clip supplied
(Fig 8A). Remember that the end of this
hose must not be more than one metre
higher than the Saturn Booster.
Filter Bypass Hose:
The filter bypass hose must be the same
diameter as your pond pump hose and
connects to the bottom connection on the
inlet assembly using the hosetail and jubilee
clip supplied (Fig 8B).
Turning the Saturn Booster on for the first
time
Once you have connected the power cable
to your mains electrical supply in accordance
with the Safety and Electrical Instructions
above you are ready to start.
• Make sure the flush-away handle is
pushed fully down to ensure there isn’t a
leak path out of the flush-away hose.
• Turn on the pond pump. Within a couple
of minutes water will start filtering
through the Saturn Booster and into your
filter system.
!
If there isn’t any water flowing through
to your filter system after a couple of
minutes, double check that the pond
pump is working, and that the Saturn
Booster’s inlet hose is correctly connected
to the top connection on the inlet
assembly.
• Turn on the Saturn Booster power supply.
The Saturn Booster will now backwash
the internal mesh filter removing solid
waste that will settle in the bottom of
the vessel.
• Check that there isn’t any water flowing
from the flush-away hose and filter
bypass hose.
!
If water is flowing out of the flush-away
hose check that the flush-away handle is
pushed right down. If water continues to
flow from the hose, raise and lower the
flush-away handle a couple of times in
case some debris is trapped in the valve.
!
If water flows out of the filter bypass
hose this is because the pressure in the
Saturn Booster is too high. There are
three possible causes:
1) Your pond pump is delivering too
much flow/pressure. Provided you still
have reasonable flow to your filter
system, this is not a problem, however
fitting a valve in the pond pump hose to
restrict the flow to the Booster will stop
the overpressure valve from operating all
the time (Fig 9).
2) The flow of water from the Saturn
Booster outlet to the pond is being
restricted. Check all hoses between the
Saturn Booster and your filter system are
clear of obstruction. Check that your
filter system is not restricting the flow.
3) The difference in height between the
Saturn Booster and Biofilter is too great.
If your filter system is, for example, at the
top of a waterfall, ideally position the
Saturn Booster at the same height.
• Confirm that the flush-away valve is
working by lifting the flush-away handle
and checking that water flows from the
flush-away hose. If the flow of water
from the hose is a lot less than that
flowing into your filter system, check the
flush-away hose for obstructions and also
double check that it is not raised more
than one metre above the Saturn
Booster.
2. OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE
Operation:
Flushing out waste
At least once every week the waste should
be flushed out. This is done by lifting the
flush-away handle (Fig 10). When the flush-
away handle is fully-raised, the water flow is
redirected to the flush-away hose.
Usually, all of the waste will be flushed out
within fifteen seconds. This can be
confirmed by looking at the visible portion
of the translucent hosetail and waiting for
the water flowing through the hosetail to
clear.
When complete, lower (Fig 11) to redirect
the flow to your filter system. If water
continues to flow from the waste hose, raise
and lower the flush away handle a couple of
times to dislodge any debris that may have
become trapped in the valve.
Pressure Sensitive Relief Valve (Blue)
Depending on the flow rate and debris, the
blue valve can move down during normal
operation. This indicates that it is regulating
the pressure. If your installation has a high
level of debris being pumped from your
pond, the blue valve will stay partially open.
In this situation, it is recommended that the
Booster waste is flushed away daily. During
flushing the valve will rise fully, but will fall
partially soon after completion. In these
conditions although the Saturn Booster will
continue to remove high levels of debris,
reducing the flow rate can increase
performance further. With the improved
filtration provided by the Saturn Booster,
reducing the flow rate can often lead to
improved water clarity and quality as a
result of lower flow velocity through the
mechanical filter, increased dwell time for
biological action, and increased exposure to
the UVC (where fitted). Fitting a valve in the
pond pump hose (fig 9) is a simple way to
adjust the flow.
Another cause for high debris levels is if the
in-pond pump is placed on the bottom of a
dirty pond (see point 3 in ‘Installation’).
If the Booster has not been desludged for
some while, and the blue valve has moved
down, raise and lower the flush-away
handle 5 times, leaving it raised for just a
couple of seconds each time before flushing
out all the waste for 15 seconds. This will
ensure that any debris that has built up will
be dislodged and flushed out.
Blanket weed treatment
If you have treated your blanket weed with
a proprietory blanket weed treatment, this
causes the blanket weed to fragment which
can then enter the Booster and block the
mesh filter. To avoid this, remove the
Booster from your filter system and
reconnect your pond pump hose directly to
your filter. The Booster can be re-connected
once the suspended blanket weed has been
removed from your pond. This can take
between 4-6 weeks.
Winter Storage
If the unit is not run all year round, protect
if from frost in the winter by draining and
storing the unit in a dry place.
To drain, pull up the flush handle to empty
some of the water, and then gently tilt the
Saturn Booster until most of the water is
emptied.
Maintenance
The Booster is designed for continuous
operation and should not require any
maintenance.
In the unlikely event that you experience a
problem, please use the ‘check-list’ below to
identify the cause.
ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT. To help ensure
your Booster’s motor long life and to
prevent damage, it is fitted with
automatic thermal overload protection.
This switches off the motor if it
overheats. If this occurs, switch off the
power at the mains supply to the motor.
Check for the cause. Usually it will be
due to no water flow through the
Booster. Check that the pond pump is
