Use of the drum filter

 

 

Only use the filter when no body parts are in 

contact with the water! Before you reach into the 

water, always disconnect the filter from the power 

supply. Compare the electrical specification on the 

type label of the device with the specification of 

the power supply. Make sure that the device is 

connected to an ELCB (earth leakage circuit 

breaker) with an assigned leakage rating of max. 

30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739). Only operate the 

device on a correctly installed power plug. 

 

Keep the power plug and the wiring dry! Make 

sure that the cables are protected to prevent 

damage and consequent short circuits. 

 

THE WIRING OR THE POWER PLUGS MUST 

NOT BE CUT. DOING SO WILL IMMEDIATELY 

INVALIDATE ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY 

OF THE MANUFACTURER. 

 

Only use wiring, installations, adapters, extension 

cables and connection cables with grounding-type 

plugs, which are approved for outdoor usage (DIN 

VDE 0620) with sufficient cable diameter. Do not 

pull on  the wiring of the devices or use the wiring 

to carry the devices! If a wiring is damaged or 

broken, the device may no longer be used! Take 

care that power plugs never falls into water or 

gets wet. If a plug gets wet, 

it must be opened by a professional and cleaned 

by purging with demineralised water. Protect 

plugs and the wiring from heat, oil, UV light and 

sharp corners. The manufacturer is not liable in 

any way for any damage caused by improper 

installation or by the carelessness of the user or 

installer. 

 

The wiring may not be modified or replaced. 

Electrical installations on garden ponds must 

always comply with national and international 

directives and requirements. Never open the case 

of the device(s) or of the appending parts if this is 

not explicitly suggested in the user manual. Never 

apply technical modifications of the device(s). 

Only use original spare parts and accessories. 

Only allow authorised customer service facilities to 

conduct repairs. Never use the filter with any 

other liquids than water.

Installation/Fitting

 

CAUTION:

 

Before you install the filter, read the manual 

carefully. Damage caused because the manual 

was not read thoroughly does not fall under 

warranty. 

 

When unpacking the filter, check if all parts have been 

delivered completely and undamaged. Any damage 

detected must be reported to your retailer within 24 

hours of purchasing the filter. Please check the device 

for damage before you operate it. Do not use the 

device if it is damaged. Please inform your retailer 

immediately. If the device is used despite being 

damaged, any warranty and liability will then be 

invalid. 

 

During the course of the installation, the device may 

not be connected to the power supply. Remove all 

plugs from the electric sockets and make sure that 

the filter cannot be switched on. To avoid injury, 

make sure that your hands or fingers cannot reach 

the rotating parts of the filter when it is connected to 

the power supply. 

 

 

7.

 

Operating the filter

 

 

NEVER USE THE DEVICE WITHOUT 

WATER THROUGHPUT.

 

 

7.1

 

Placing the filter

 

You must carefully follow the instructions below to 

work safely and prevent damage to the equipment. 

 

 

Ensure that the substrate is levelled and sufficiently 

robust; the filter weighs more than 400 kg when 

operational. A concrete slab is the preferred option. 

 

 

When checking if the waste pump or drum motor is 

still working, the lid must always be closed. Never 

put your hands in the filter or try to stop the drum 

with your hands. 

 

 

The waste pump must always be below the water 

level before it is switched on. If not, it will be 

irreparably damaged because of running dry or 

overheating. The warranty will not cover damage to 

the waste pump because the pump has run dry.  

 

 

The electronics must be suspended in a dry and 

appropriately ventilated room. The temperature of 

the room where the electronics is suspended must be 

between 2 and 30 °C. If the temperatures are higher, 

the electronics cannot handle its own heat properly 

and this may lead to damage.
