Path of the water: Drawn in by a pump into the pump
unit, the water flows through the filter modules,
arranged above each other in stages to form the filter
unit. Each filter module is equipped with a foam filter
and/or filter fleece (top filter module). The water
enters the filter module through the inlet on the side
and exits through the small flow-out nozzles or the
central outlet, depending on the position of the
outlet control knob.
BioPlus Thermo:
The water is heated by a heater on
its way through the filter unit.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

the pump unit with a twisting movement.

•
Route each power connection cable such that it
forms a drip loop.
Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit
switches on immediately. When the unit is switched
on, it takes several minutes for the air to escape from
the unit (this makes a noise).
•
Use the outlet control knob to determine which
water outlet is used (central outlet or flow-out
nozzles).
Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.
