A
Installation
Important pre-installation information:
Required for operation:
Standard pumps for ponds or circulation pumps for aquariums with a means for a hose con-
nection.
CAUTION: This appliance contains glass! Please exercise the necessary caution.
This appliance does not tolerate frost and must be dismantled, cleaned and stored WIT-
HOUT water and frost-free during the winter before freezing temperatures occur.
UV-C water clarifiers are generally installed at the water outlet of the pump. Hence, when the
appliance is used in an aquarium, it is usually positioned such that the water flows through it
after flowing through the filter, whereas, in the pond, it is positioned before the filter. Ponds
that have just been set up should be operated without a UV-C water clarifier for 6 - 8 weeks
so that sufficient beneficial cleansing bacteria can settle in the filter. Inoculating the filter
media with JBL Filterstart Pond promotes rapid biological activity of the filter and reduces
the starting time.
Note on operational safety and function checks:
For your own safety, a safety switch is integrated into the electric unit (4), which only allows
the UV-C lamp to operate when the casing is closed. Never attempt to check whether lamp
function by pressing the safety switch when the electric unit is open! This may result in dam-
age to the eyes and skin.
