BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• When constructing a new pond, try to find an area in your
yard that offers enough level space in a high ground area.
• Avoid low lying areas to protect
against potential water runoff that
causes flooding and/or unwanted
residues, pesticides, fertilizers,
herbicides or other hazardous
elements that can adversely affect
your pond’s ecosystem.
• Place your pond in a location that
is easily viewable for the most
common areas of your yard, deck,
patio, or from within your home.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Determine which side of the ClearSpring™ Mini will be used for water input. The
ClearSpring™ Mini has factory sealed inlets on both sides. Remove the knockout on the
desired side to activate the inlet. (see below)
PREPARING THE CONNECTION
• Apply thread seal tape to the threads on the barbed hose fitting. If using 1 ½” tubing,
gently saw off the 1” barbs to allow maximum flow.
• Knockout the desired inlet seal using a hammer and large flat screwdriver or hole saw.
Clean out any remaining debris to ensure a smooth and complete opening. Be sure not
to damage threads.
• Securely thread the barbed
hose fitting into the newly
opened inlet.
• Slide the stainless hose clamp
over one end of your kink-free
tubing. Push tubing onto the
barbed hose fitting and tighten
hose clamp to form a tight seal.

FILTER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• As your filter media begins to fill with debris, water flow and filtration performance
will begin to decline. Cleaning intervals will depend on the pond environment.
• Remove and rinse clogged filter media outside of your pond. To preserve water
filtering bacteria, try using water from your pond to remove loose debris.
• Filter pads that are too saturated with debris, or show noticeable signs of damage
should be replaced.
• Bio ball media will not wear out and can be rinsed and reused indefinitely. A brush
can be used to remove stubborn debris.
• Do NOT use chemicals or household cleaning agents to clean filter media.
