C A U T I O N
Quartz glass and UVC lamp can break and cause cut injuries .
• Handle the quartz glass and UVC lamp with care.
Adhere to the safety information given above! Check and clean the water outlet into the pond at regular intervals.
Clean the filters at regular intervals (e.g. every four weeks), however, at the latest when cloudy or dirty water from the
water outlet returns to the garden pond. Carry out quick cleaning first. Should this prove insufficient, clean the entire
unit. Never use chemical cleaning agents.
Quick cleaning (C2, C3)
Open and remove the filter lid from the filter housing (C2). Pull the cleaning handles several times (C3). This causes
the foam filters to compress and be mechanically cleaned. Open the cover cap at the cleaning outlet and drain the
soiled water. Screw the cover cap back on again and start the unit up (see Start- up).
Complete cleaning (C2 – C5)
Open and remove the filter lid from the filter ho using (C2). Unlock and remove the inner cover (C4). Press both en-
gagement hooks at each of the foam filter holders sideward, then remove holders including foam filters (C5). Remove
the foam filters from the holders and clean with clear water. Open the cover cap at the cleaning outlet and clean filter
housing, inner lid and cover with water. Reassemble the filter in the reverse order. Arrange the foam filters in water
flow direction: Coarse foam filters (blue) first, then fine foam filters (red). Screw the c over cap back on again and start
the unit up (see Start- up).
Cleaning the UCV clarifying unit (D)
Open and remove the filter lid from the filter housing (C2). Turn the unit head of the UVC clarifying unit counter -clock-
wise against the stop, then carefully pull off (D1). Undo the clamping screw by turning counter -clockwise, and remove
the quartz glass including the O ring forward with a slight turning movement (D2). Remove the O ring from the quartz
glass, clean and check for damage. Clean the quartz glass o uter face with a moist cloth and check for damage. Thor-
oughly clean the inner and outer surfaces of the housing. If necessary, replace the UVC lamp (D3).
Reassembly: Push the O ring against the collar of the quartz glass, press the quartz glass into the unit head against
the stop, fit the clamping screw and hand- tighten (D4). Check the O ring at the unit head for damage, fit the O ring and
push the unit head carefully into the housing while exerting light pressure (D5). Ensure that the tenons at the housing
engage in the grooves of the bayonet closure. Turn the unit head clockwise up to the stop while applying slight pres-
sure, so that the two arrows on the unit head and the housing meet (D6).
Changing the UVC lamp (D3)
For an optimum filter performance, we recommend to replace the UVC lamp after approx. 8000 operating hours.
Important! Only use lamps the designation and rating of which match the information on the type plate.
Pull out and replace the UVC lamp.
