INSTALLATION
Once a fountain nozzle has been selected, assemble the fountain kit as per the attached diagram. Screw the T-piece
onto the pump outlet and adjust the telescopic riser to the desired height and align vertically. On the Dual-control flow
adjuster, on the T-piece, you can vary the flow between the fountain head and the waterfall outlet. Close the second
outlet of the T-piece if this is not required for an optional waterfall.
Lower the filter into the water slowly allowing it to fill with water. Take care to not hold the fountain by the stand pipe.
Position the device in the pond horizontally, on a solid base, free from sludge, in such a way that it is fully covered with
water and the fountain kit protruding out of the water.
Insert the plug into a GFCI protected 120 volt outlet. Ensure the connection is protected from any moisture.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS
• Do not look at an unshielded UVC lamp. Ultraviolet light is harmful to your eyes and may cause blindness. Do not
operate UV Lamp out of the housing.
• As the UV Clarifier Lamp is made of quartz glass, please avoid sudden jolts, as this will break the quartz.
• In cold temperatures where frost or freezing may occur, please cease to use the unit. Remove from the environment.
Frozen water will crack the Quartz glass sleeve.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the main power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit. Remove the unit from the water. (Take care to no lift the unit by the fountain nozzle.) The filters and sponges
in this unit will clog over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to
maintain the unit will result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
•
• Take out the filter sponge and filter media boxes and clean. It is recommended that this is done in a bucket of pond
water to ensure the good bacteria are not killed by the chlorine in tap water. Check for wear and tear of
the sponge and replace if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how quickly the sponge gets clogged up. When the flow starts to get
reduced, check and clean if necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your filter with a bacterial additive, available from your local dealer.
• The UV lamp should be replaced regularly at the end of its design life. This is approximately 12 months of use. To
take out the UV clarifier lamp, first remove the whole pump and UV unit from the base of the filter by remove the
two screws holding them in place. Open the safety catch on the side of the casing and turn the UV Clarifier casing
transformer. Now you can change your UV lamp. Take care when replacing the lamp to not touch the new lamp with
your bare hands. Use the box or some paper to handle the lamp and avoid getting skin oils on the new lamp.
•
To clean the quartz glass sleeve, take the quartz sleeve assembly out by pulling the locking nut (No. 4 Fig. 3) out of
the casing. The Locking nut and sleeve are held into place in the casing by the compression of the o-ring so it may be
tight at first. Use caution to not break the glass. Once it is out of the casing you can then clean the glass using non
toxic products (vinegar) and a scrubber.
• To maintain the impeller of the pump, turn the impeller cover in an anti-clockwise direction to the stop position, and
then you can separate the impeller cover and pump body. Take out the impeller, clean it with clean water and suitable
brush. Inspect for signs for ware. Replace if necessary.
• Once the cleaning and inspection process is completed, reassemble in the reverse manner. The pump suction elbow is
pushed firmly onto the impeller cover inlet of the pump. Pay attention to the UV clarifier casing when inserting it back
together. The inspection hole needs to be positioned upwards towards the lid.
