Filtration Spares and consumables
The filter is supplied with everything you need to get started (including filter media, UV
bulb and quartz tube for the UV). Over time these parts may need replacing and can be
purchased from your retailer.
Periods of operation
Maintain filtration 24 hrs a day through the fish feeding season (typically early March-
October when the water temperature is above 10 degrees C), but preferably all year round.
In the winter operating the pump and filter will maintain a background level of friendly
bacteria in the filter and help prevent the pond icing up in all but the severest weather
conditions.
Changing the UV Bulb
The UV bulb should be changed at the beginning of every new season. The lamp may look
like it is working but the levels of effective UV radiation decrease over time.
First disconnect the unit from the electricity supply.
At the time of writing access to the bulb in the PXPF04000 could be achieved internally.
The larger units required the screws to be removed from the housing on the lid dome. If you
are having problems please call 01642 370888 for advice.
Remove the UV bulb by gently pulling out of the electrical connection.
Insert a new UV bulb by gently pushing into the electrical connection then reassemble.
