When using a UVC the filter should be installed at least 2 M's
from the pond. Also take this into consideration if not fitting a
U.V.C. as you may wish to fit one in the future.
Putting into Operation
1. To connect the pump in the pond to the inlet of the filter:
- Cut off the smaller hose connections as necessary.
- If required, dip hose in boiling water to facilitate fitting.
- Route hose carefully to ensure it is not kinked or crushed.
- Fit hose clips.
2. Fit return flow pipework. This can feed a waterfall for example
or return directly to the pond. Pipes must always have a
downward gradient of at least 1%. If pipes are not UV
resistant, cover with soil to protect them.
3. Switch on pump and test the system for flow rate.
You require in addition:
