Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account,
you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
► As the filter module is very heavy when filled, it must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs,
but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from subsiding.
► Horizontally align the base slab.
– The filter system must be positioned horizontally (max. deviation d ± 5 mm).
– Tip: Use commercially available concrete slabs, each measuring 500 × 500 mm. Five slabs are
required (one base slab for each corner and 1 for the centre). For the gravity fed system, an
additional slab for the Individual Module is required.
► Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
► Drain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into
the pond.
– If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least
DN 110 pipes.
► Position the inlet in the pond (e.g. via a water course or waterfall) so that it is lower than the outlet of
the filter system.
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond. In this way, the filtered pond
water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.

► Horizontally align the base slab.

the filter system.

System specific requirements
The correct installation and constant water level in the pond are important prerequisites for ensuring
optimum and fault-free operation of the gravity fed system.
Making a filter pit:
► Excavate a pit of sufficient dimensions to accommodate the filter system.
► Horizontally align the base slab.
► Secure the walls of the pit from falling in (with masonry or concrete).
► Ensure that the pit is protected from flooding. Provide a rain water drain.
Installing the filter system:
► Determine the max. water level of the pond.
► The base slab supporting the filter system must be 690 mm below the max. water level. Tolerances
of up to -20 mm are permitted.
► Keeping the water level constant: A constant water level in the pond is necessary for operating the
gravity fed system. Tolerances of up to -20 mm from the max. water level are permitted.
– If the max. water level in the pond is exceeded, water flows out of the Drum Filter Module via the
dirt channel until the max. water level is reached again.
– If the water level goes below the max. water level by more than 20 mm, it is not possible to achieve
optimum or fault-free operation.
► Install the OASE ProfiClear Guard refill system. The ProfiClear Guard refill system automatically
supplies water to the pond if the water level goes below the specified water level.
