INSTALLATION
Place the filter so that it can’t end up in the water, not even accidentally, and so that the area where it is placed is not subject to flooding or
overflow. The filter must not be immersed in water (Fig. 1, page 28). Prexo adv is easy to conceal as it can be partially buried next to the pond.
Be sure to properly fit the gaskets on the connectors. You have to connect a pump to the “IN” inlet in order for the filter to operate. Connect
a pipe to the “OUT” outlet to carry the filtered water to the pond (fig. 2, page 28). Put the knob found on the top of the filter in the WORK
position (fig. 2, page 28).
MAINTENANCE
Prexo adv is equipped with the “Backwash” (reversed water flow) system, which quickly cleans the filter without having to open and
disassemble it. Preliminary “Backwash” system operations: Switch off the pump. Unscrew the cap on the “DIRTY” outlet, located on top of
the filter. Fit the third connector supplied in its place. Connect a pipe to the “DIRTY” outlet to carry the wash water of the filter wherever you
want (fig. 3, page 28). You can activate the “Backwash” system while the filter is in operation by turning the knob on top of the filter to the
“CLEAN” position. After cleaning the filter, put the knob back in the “WORK” position. Put the cap back on the “DIRTY” outlet if you don’t use the
“Backwash” system for a long period of time. To clean more thoroughly, you have to remove the various filter materials from the filter and wash
them under running water. Do not use chemical detergents. To open the filter, loosen the hooks and lift the cover, following the instructions on
page 29. After cleaning close the filter, making sure you position the cover correctly (see fig. 7, page 29).
