The Hozelock Cyprio EasyClear™
Clearwater, Fountain & Waterfall pump
is designed for submersible use in
outdoor ponds. It is an integrated unit
that provides Mechanical & Biological
Filtration with an Ultra Violet Clarifier,
Fountain and Waterfall outlet.
ATTENTION - UV CAUTION
Exposure to Ultra Violet (UV)
radiation can be dangerous and cause
damage to eyes and skin. Under no
circumstances should any attempt be
made to gain access to the lamp
when the unit is switched on. When
switched on, the lamp can be checked
for operation by looking for a bluish
glow from the ball joint outlet (Fig 2-
D).
From
1st January 2005
installing this
product in the garden is classed as
'notifiable' in the revised Building
Regulations for England and Wales.
The Regulations now require you to
tell your local authority building
control department that you intend to
install this product before installation.
Your local authority will let you know
how you can get your installation
approved.
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT.
To help ensure your EasyClear’s long
life and to prevent damage, it is fitted
with automatic thermal overload
protection on the pump and UVC. This
switches the pump or UVC off if either
overheats. If this occurs, switch off the
power at the mains supply to the unit.
Check for the cause (usually it will be
debris blocking the inlet of the pump
or obstructing the impeller). Remove
the obstruction and wait 15 minutes
for the unit to cool down and
automatically reset. Then switch it on
again.
The UVC lamp will still operate if the
pump automatic thermal overload
protection is activated.
NOTE: YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE UNIT WILL
RESET.
Pond size
The EasyClear™ can maintain ponds of
up to 4000 litres. However, for best
results, certain conditions may need to
be taken into account. Ponds that are
heavily stocked with fish, or less than
0.5 metres (1’8" feet) deep, or situated
in warm climates or exposed to direct
sunlight for long periods of time will
lead to excessive algae growth and fish
activity. This results in greater demands
on the filtration system. The pond
sizing chart at the end of these
instructions give guidlines on
recommended pond sizes, relating to
these conditions.
Periods of Operation
Keep the filter working 24 hours a day.
Ideally it should run all year round, but
at least throughout the fish feeding
season, ( ie until the water
temperature falls below 10°C and the
fish stop feeding). In winter, operating
the unit will maintain a basic level of
useful bacteria in the Biological Filter
and will help prevent the pond icing
over. However, the unit must not be
allowed to freeze. If you switch the
unit off for winter, wash the unit
thoroughly before resuming filtration
in the spring (see ‘Winter Storage’,
9.0). Never feed your fish when the
unit is not in use.
Maturation
Biological maturation means that the
filter has built up enough nitrifying
bacteria in the Biological Filter to
convert harmful fish waste and other
organic waste (ie Ammonia, Nitrite)
into relatively harmless Nitrate. The
process normally takes 6-8 weeks, but
depends on many factors such as water
temperature, feeding rate and stocking
density.
1.0 IMPORTANT
1.1 WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG OR
DISCONNECT ALL APPLIANCES IN THE
POND FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING YOUR
HANDS IN THE WATER WHILST
EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED,
REPAIRED, MAINTAINED OR
HANDLED.
1.2 Do not use the supply cable to lift the
unit, as this may cause damage. We
recommend fitting a lifting cord to
the hook feature on the base, when
the filter is installed in deep water.
(Fig 2-I).
1.3 Do not operate or leave the unit in
freezing conditions.
1.4 Do not allow the unit to run dry. The
water level should be above the UVC
indicator at the ball joint (Fig 4-L).
1.5 Check that the voltage marked on
the unit corresponds to the mains
supply.
1.6 A 10mA OR 30mA RESIDUAL
CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) MUST BE
FITTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
1.7
DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT
WITHOUT THE OUTER CAGE
ATTACHED. USING THE UNIT
WITHOUT THE OUTER CAGE MAY
INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
1.8 The pump does not use oil or grease
for lubrication and can be used safely
in ponds containing fish or plants.
The motor consists of a sealed stator
and water cooled permanent magnet
rotor. All electrical components are
isolated from the water.
2.0 WARNING: SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
2.1 The pump is supplied with 10m of 3
core electric cable which is
permanently connected and sealed
to the pump. The supply cable
cannot be replaced. If the cable is
damaged, the unit should be
discarded. This product is designed to
be permanently wired to the mains
supply in a dry weatherproof
enclosure through a Double-Pole
Switched Fused Spur - (Disconnector)
to BS 3676, with a minimum contact
separation of 3mm in each Pole &
Fitted with a 3 or 5 Amp fuse.
The installation must conform to the
national and local wiring regulations
which could include the use of plastic
or metal conduit to protect the cable.
