The purely biological starter bacteria Oase AquaActiv BioKick activate the filter biology and
ensure maximum performance of your pond filter within only a few weeks. They immedi-
ately start removing nitrite, ammonium and ammonia from the water. We recommend fill-
ing the container with Oase AquaActiv BioKick
−
during initial start-up,
−
after manual cleaning or replacing the foam filters,
−
after long shut-down periods or during start-up after a long winter break.
Start-up sequence:
1.
If required, fill the container with Oase AquaActiv BioKick.
2. Ensure that the hoses, cover cap for the dirt water outlet and the clamping ring with the
safety latch are firmly connected.
3. Turn the turning valve to “Filter water”.
4. Switch on the pond pump.
5. Only switch on the UVC clarifier when water emerges from the water outlet.
–
Never run the UVC clarifier without water flowing through.
–
If you are using Oase AquaActiv BioKick, leave the UVC clarifier turned off for 24 hours. This
allows the starter bacteria to achieve optimum effectiveness.
