Bottom Drain Plug
Your pondXpert filter comes complete with an integral drain. To periodically drain the
sludge from the base of the filter simply unscrew the drain cap. This drain point can also be
used to backflush out debris if required.
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.
Disconnect the unit from the electricity supply.
Push open the top access chamber to the UV. Remove the UV Clarifier unit by gently
pulling the retaining clips. Unscrew the wired end-cap by rotating anti-clockwise.
Remove the UV bulb by gently pulling out of the electrical connection.
Insert a new UV bulb by gently pushing into the electrical connection.
Re-assemble the end cap by rotating clockwise.
Clip the UV unit back into the top housing and reposition the top lid in place.
