Important:
— Ensure that the hose connections are carefully fitted to the
filter.
— Ensure that the entire system is leak-proof!
— Ensure that the filter cannot overflow (e.g. due to drain
blockage). Risk of emptying the pond.
— The Biobasket offers space for various supplements such as
filter starter or fish medicines of which only trace amounts
should be added.
— The filter system is a biological system and requires several
weeks after being newly installed before it reaches full
efficiency.
— Ensure that the filter operates continuously and does not dry
out. A timer switch saver circuit with a second pump may be
installed, for example, during the night. A second, closed
connection nozzle is provided for this purpose. Saw to size
to fit hose connection.

individual adjustment is possible.
