Quick Easy Clean Backflush
Turn to the ‘clean’ position, the water flow is reversed and exits through the waste outlet.
This waste water should run to waste by attachment of a suitable length of hose.

PXPF20000 to PXPF30000, triangle graphic on handle set to ‘FILTER’, to clean push handle
down and turn handle round so triangle graphic is at ‘CLEAN’ position
Turn the handle back once the water from the filter runs clear (about 30 seconds).
Note: if water water continues to leak from discharge pipe unscrew the plate on the
underside of the lid and reposition the disc inside – a smear of Vaseline may help the seal.
If your filter is ever taken away from the pond (ie-winter storage) then all of the filter media
(foams and biomedia) must be thoroughly cleaned before restarting. Your filter will then
need to undergo the ‘maturation’ procedure phase as described above.
Note: Take care to ensure rubber O ring is correctly positioned between lid/unit after
opening. Failure to do so will lead to leaks (a smear of Vaseline around this ring may help
keep the seal watertight).
