MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The pressure filter is largely maintenance-free. The filter sponges should be
cleaned regularly.
Suspended matter and dirt are deposited in the filter sponges over time. These
deposits reduce the effectiveness of the filter, so the filter sponges should be
cleaned regularly, about every two weeks.
The filter sponges must be cleaned when cloudy or even polluted water from
the water outlet flows back into the pond.
1. Remove the cap from the cleaning port or from the drain hose connected
to the cleaning port. There will be a small water flow.
2. Pull the function switch slightly upwards and turn it clockwise until it locks
in the ‘clean’ position.
3. Tighten the cleaning handle and ‘pump’ several times. This will compress
and mechanically clean the filter sponges.
4. Push the cleaning handle down to the lid.
5. As soon as only clean water has been seen through the transparent spiral-
shaped hose adapter on the cleaning connection, pull the function switch
slightly upwards and turn it counterclockwise until it locks in the ‘filter’
position.
6. Firmly screw the cap with the flat gasket inserted onto the cleaning port or
drain hose connected to the cleaning port.
7. The filter will start running again. Check the water flow in the pond.
Cleaning the filter sponges
If the flow of water through dirty filter sponges is too low and cannot be
improved by cleaning with the handle function, the filter sponges must be
washed or replaced. To avoid killing the microorganisms in the filter sponges,
please do not use chemical cleaning agents.
1. Disconnect the mains plug of the filter.
2. Turn off the pump and make sure that it cannot be turned on accidentally.
3. Remove all hoses by unscrewing the nuts.
4. Remove the clamping ring. Open the clamping ring.
5. Lift the lid off with the filter sponge. Lay the lid upside down on another
top. The filter sponges are on the filter. The plate will be pointing upwards.
Wear indicator
The filter sponges are pre-installed. The filter sponges may fall apart due to
mechanical stress and normal aging. This can lead to a short circuit in the filter.
To check the filter sponges, they must be placed one above the other on the
lower filter plate without ‘air gaps’. The distance between the filter sponges
and the filter plate must be less than 1 cm.
