occurs, switch off the power at the
mains supply to the unit. If it is the
pump that has activated the Overload
Protection, check for the cause (it is
usually debris blocking the inlet of the
pump or obstructing the impeller).
Remove the obstruction and wait 15
minutes for the unit to cool down and.
Then switch it on again.
If it is the UV lamp that is activating
the Overload Protection (pump is still
running but UV lamp keeps going out
after running for a short time), please
contact Hozelock Consumer Services
Helpline on +44 (0)121 313 1122.
NOTE: YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE UNIT WILL
RESET.
Keep the filter working 24 hours a day.
Ideally it should run all year round, but
at least throughout the fish-feeding
season, (i.e. until the water
temperature falls below 10°C and the
fish stop feeding). In winter, operating
the unit will maintain a basic level of
useful bacteria in the Biological Filter,
and will help prevent the pond icing
over. However, the unit must not be
allowed to freeze. If you switch the
unit off for winter, wash the unit
thoroughly before resuming filtration
in the spring (see ‘Winter Storage’).
Never feed your fish when the unit is
not in use.
