How to check your flow rate: Take a container of a 

known volume and time how long it takes to fill (in 

seconds). Then divide 3600 by the number of seconds 

it takes to fill the container, and multiply by the volume 

(litres or gallons) of the container. The result will be the 

flow rate in litres or gallons per hour (lph or gph).

2.3  Fish Stocking Density: Under normal conditions and 

feeding regime, the Bioforce revolution range will 

support up to 50cm per 1000 litres (10” of fish per 

100 gallons) of pond capacity. Introduce fish slowly 

over the first few weeks, up to 20% of maximum 

recommended level, increasing this if you wish to 50% 

after six months. The balance will allow for fish growth.

2.4  Pond Treatments: Some medications/ treatments 

can degrade very quickly by UVC radiation. Consider 

switching off the filter during disease treatment. The 

mechanical and biological filtration will continue to 

work.

 

If treating your pond for blanketweed, turn off your 

pump and filter for the duration of treatment until the 

treated blanketweed has been removed from the pond

2.5  Extra care should be taken with any hose connections 

as leaks will result in loss of water from the pond.

Installation

3.1 

Important: Do not use a pump with a flow rate greater 

than 8000lph or a maximum head greater than than 

5m with the Bioforce revolution range of filters.

3.2  Important: Bioforce revolution filters must only be 

installed in an upright vertical position (Fig. 6).

3.3  Bioforce revolution filters are pump-fed, pressurised 

external filter and UVC units, suited to either above 

ground (Fig. 7) or in-ground (Fig. 8) installation 

adjacent to your pond or concealed at the top of a 

waterfall.

If you choose to install your filter above ground, place 

the filter on flat level ground.

 

If you choose to part-bury your filter, the excavation 

should be firmly back-filled with compacted sand to 

support the unit. If you choose this type of installation, 

you should leave a minimum of a 50mm gap between 

the clamp and ground level ensuring it is easily 

removable for annual maintenance.

3.4  Using small bore hoses leads to excessive restriction 

of the water flow. The larger the diameter of hose 

that you use the better the performance of the filter 

will be, especially over long hose runs. The hosetails 

supplied with this unit will accommodate 25mm (1”), 

32mm (1¼”) and 40mm (1¾”) Cypriflex hose. We would 

always recommend that on the Bioforce revolution 

filters, that the 40mm diameter hose should be used to 

avoid water flow restriction.

32mm

40mm

once you have selected 

the hose diameter you 

wish to use, cut the 

steps off the hosetail 

which are smaller than 

the hose diameter to 

eliminate restriction 

(Fig. 9). 

  

The pump which 

supplies the filter and 

the outlet of the pond 

return hose should be 

as far apart as possible 

for optimal water circulation, so bear this in mind when 

purchasing, measuring and cutting the Cypriflex hose.

 

Attach a suitable length hose between the supply 

pump and the filter inlet (Fig. 10 (i)) securing the 

hose to the hosetails using Hozelock Cyprio hoseclips, 

available separately. Then connect a suitable length 

of hose to the filter outlet (Fig. 10 (ii)) in the same way. 

For details on the waste outlet (Fig. 10 (iii)), refer to the 

section “Cleaning”.

Place the pump in the pond in a suitable location and 

position the end of the outlet hose so that filtered 

water returns to the pond.

 

Avoid kinks and sharp bends when positioning the 

hoses. Keep the hose runs as short as possible to 

minimise the restriction of flow.

3.5  Ensure the winding handle is positioned over the 

electrical housing. Take the winding handle knob & 

cover supplied and connect it to the cleaning handle by 

locating it on the handle and clicking it in in place  

(Fig. 11).

Your filter is now ready for use.
