Intended use
PondoPress 10000/15000, referred to as "unit", may only be used as specified in the following:
•
For operation with clean water.
•
For mechanical and biological cleaning of garden ponds
•
Operate in accordance with instructions.
The UVC lamp installed in the unit is intended to kill algae and bacteria in the pond water. Even in small doses, its radi-
ation is harmful for eyes and skin. Never use the UVC lamp in a defective housing or outside the housing, or any other
purpose other than that intended.
The delivery includes an external filter pump, type PondoVario 2500 as well as a 5 m hose. The pressure filter may
only be operated with the supplied pump.
The following restrictions apply to the unit:
•
Never use the unit to convey fluids other than water.
•
Never run the unit without water.
•
Do not use for commercial or industrial purposes.
•
Do not use in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuff, easily flammable or explosive substances.
Installation (A)
Saw off the stepped hose connection in accordance with the hose diameter used (A1). At the filter, push the union nuts
over the stepped hose connections, push or turn on the stepped hose connection, and secure with the hose clips.
Place the flat sealing rings in the union nuts and screw onto the inlet and outlet of the pressure filter (A2). At the filter
pump, push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose connection, secure with hose clips and screw onto the filter pump
connection thread (A3).
Installation (B)
Place the pressure filter in a flood protected position at a distance from the pond edge of at least 2m on firm and level
ground. As an alternative, the filter can also be partly buried up to approx. 5 cm below the closing clamps. The height
difference between the lid and the free outlet point may be max. 2 m. Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation.
Ensure direct access to the lid to be able to carry out work at the unit. Place the filter pump in the pond as horizontal as
possible on a firm, sludge free ground so that it is completely in the water, at a maximum depth of 2 m below the water
level. Max. height difference between pump outlet and outlet point: 2.40 m.

Possible death or severe injury from hazardous electrical voltage!
•
Prior to reaching into the water, isolate (switch off and disconnect) all units/devices used in the water.
•
Isolate the device (disconnect from the power supply) before carrying out any work on it.
Attention!
Never operate the unit with a water pressure of more than 0.2 bar!
Attention! Never operate
the unit without water flowing through!
Adhere to the safety information given above! Connect the filter pump power plug (C1) and wait until the pressure filter
is filled with water. Check the pressure filter container and all connections for leaks. Connect the power plug of the
UVC clarifying unit, the blue control lamp is lit (C2). Fit the cover of the UVC pre-clarifying unit. Note: After a new instal-
lation, the unit only reaches its full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. The full effect on bacteria is only
reached as from a water temperature of + 10 °C. Note: In the event of overheating, the installed temperature monitor
switches the UVC lamp off automatically, the lamp automatically switches on again once cooled down.
Switching of the units
Disconnect the power plug to switch the units off (C3, C4).
