► Thoroughly clean the pond before starting up the filter system for the first time to ensure that the filter
system is not overloaded by excessively soiled water. OASE recommends using the PondoVac pond
vacuum cleaner for cleaning the pond.
– This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.
► It is necessary to operate the filter system for 24 hours a day during the pond season.

How to proceed:

A
1. Close the slide valve for the dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
4. Manually turn the filter drum for one whole rotation to ensure unobstructed movement.
5. Fill the filter with water until the rinsing pump is submerged (dry run protection of the rinsing pump).
6. Fit the container cover.
– The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted.
7. Switch on the control system and perform any necessary adjustments. ( → Operation)
8. Switch on the filter pump and UVC clarifier (if applicable).
– Ensure that the water is returned to the pond via the return pipe.
9. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
– Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
N O T E
New filters take approx. 3 to 4 weeks before the bacteria in the unit are fully established. During this time
– or at a water temperature of <10 °C – the filter may overflow. In this case the filter does not need to be
cleaned.
► When using filter starter, medicines or pond water treatments, leave the UVC clarifying unit switched
off for at least 36 hours so as not to impair their efficacy.
