Troubleshooting
Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences:
Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
●
Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
●
Occasional cleaning of the filter foam will be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the system. Filter foam
should be removed and washed with clean water when they are visibly soiled. Filter foam should be replaced annually,
ideally in the early spring.
●
The exterior surface of the cover may also need occasional cleaning. Particularly if the openings in the top of the cover
are obstructed. When cleaning the cover use warm water only. Do not use any chemicals that may destroy the
beneficial bacteria.
●
At least once a year the entire system should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly using clean, warm water. This
should not be done during the warm season as it may take up to 8 weeks to re-establish the environmental balance.
The best time of the year to “breakdown” your system is in early spring before the water temperatures begin to rise.
