•
The intended time that the pond pump needs to fully fill the filter lies between 1,5
min and 3
min
with the above-mentioned filter volume.
•
A good “run-in” filter needs therefore
NO
circulation cycle of 2–3× per hour. It is sufficient, de-
pending on the pond size, to have cycles of 1–2× every 10
hours.
Calculation example:
A specific example: Our pump copes with 10.000
ℓ
⁄
h
. This means that, with our
test pond
of 100.000
ℓ
volume, the
pond
is completely filtered every 10
h, which means that the water flows through our
pond
filter
2,4
times in 24
h and is clarified. Because our filter takes 250
ℓ of water, and in one hour 10.000
ℓ
are pumped into the
pond filter,
the pond filter is fully filled with water 40
times per hour. This means
that every 1,5
min the filter is fully filled. Consequently, our
bacteria
only have 1,5
min to have an effect
on the water and produce clear, filtered water.
We recommend according to your needs to find a reasonable compromise
between both systems to achieve an optimal pond filtration.
Intended use
•
Products of this series are optimal for the cleaning of garden and fish ponds. If it is correctly
applied the pond water is effectively cleaned.
•
Biodegradable filter materials clean the water from bacteria through mechanical filtering.
Equipment features
(partly optional)
•
efficient cleaning through ultraviolet light sterilisation before filtering.
•
powerful bio-filtering by means of large filters, multi-chamber system, easy installation, and
cleaning due to its modular structure
•
water flow system that conducts the first step of the filtration reduces the pressure on the filter
mats and the maintenance
•
optimal filter design enables easy cleaning
•
dirt indicator
•
temperature indicator
Commissioning
1.
The filter must be placed on a solid and even ground. It is necessary that the filter is in balance
to avoid an overflow.
2.
In case a UVC-clarifier is in use, it is advisable to place the filter at least 2
m from the pond.
3.
Before operation clean the filter sponges and filter mats.
4.
Make sure that the drainage hose for the water outlet to the pond and the hose for the waste
outlet to the sewerage or to the flower bed has a sufficient slope.
5.
Saw off the hose connector at the appropriate place.
6.
Now fix the hose to the hose connector and secure it with a hose clamp.
7.
Then connect the other end of the hose to the pump.
8.
Please make sure not to turn on the filter until it is filled with water.
9.
Check the filter for any leaks.
10.
Provide the filter with voltage. Now the filter starts working.
NOTE:
The bio-filter is a biological filter system, so from its initial installation it requires some weeks until its full
biological efficacy. Is reached.
