Thank you for choosing the
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
.
Please check whether all components of this high quality system, which in-
cludes glass parts, have arrived at your place without damages before we
continue by presenting you the installation and the functions of this novel
pond
fi
lter system. You will

General notes
The
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
is a multi-step puri
fi
cation
system designed according to newest current act
fi
lter technology
fi
nd-
ings. The system is divided into the following steps.
Step 1:
(Not included in each set)
Highly effective, powerful UV-C system (2.1)
• Reliable removal of all kinds of
fl
oating algae (cloudy, green water)
• Reduction of thread algae and other algae
• Lasting removal of pathogens and bacterial water cloudiness
The UV-C system was specially designed for garden pond purposes and
consistently developed using newest technology.
The UV-C system is equipped with energy saving PL
fl
uorescent tubes op-
erated with an electronic ballast.
Due to using a PL
fl
uorescent tube (two T5 tubes connected side by side
in one unit), a performance of 55 Watts per UV-C unit at a device length of
only 600 mm (23.6 in.) is achieved, in case of equipping fully with two UV-C
units a performance of 110 Watts.
The
sera pond UV-C System
therefore meets highest function and ef
fi
ca-
cy requirements. The
sera pond UV-C System 55 W
is a separate unit that
can also be operated by itself with the
sera pond pump PP 12000
.
Please refer to the information for use of the
sera pond UV-C System
55
W
for further information.
Step 2: Mechanical water puri
fi
cation – sludge removal
The split sieve removes all particles larger than 0.2 mm. The algae de-
stroyed by the UV-C radiation form conglomerates larger than 0.2 mm and
can be trapped by the split sieve. You can easily remove them through the
waste water removal valve (
fi
g. 4) of the sludge chamber. The biological re-
mainder obtained this way is a very good garden fertilizer thus taken back
into the biological cycle.
Step 3: Oxygen enrichment (2.3)
The water falls through the generously sized pond
fi
lter body underneath
the split sieve where it is enriched with oxygen by swirling. This allows con-
verting all substances that were not removed mechanically under aerobic
conditions within the following biological breakdown step.
Step 4: Fine mesh algae
fi
ltration (2.6)
The
sera
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponges can be placed underneath the split sieve.
This will keep the pond clear and attractive even in times of strong growth
of
fl
oating algae. However, this measure should only be taken for a limited
time, mainly during summer. The kit includes two
fi
lter sponges.
Step 5: Biological water puri
fi
cation
The water is evenly distributed by a Matala mat above the bio
fi
lter cham-
ber after dirt and algae have been removed, and
fl
ows onto the
sera
siporax pond
fi
lter medium below.
Due to its chemical and physical material properties, the high performance
bio
fi
lter medium
sera siporax pond
provides an ideal living environment
for the valuable pollutant removing bio cultures. The open pore structure
ensures ideal water current conditions for the micro organisms, thus ensur-
ing the bio
fi
lms are optimally supplied and pores do not get clogged even
after years of operation.
sera siporax pond
biologically cleans itself! At the
same time,
sera siporax pond
is very resistant against wear and tear and
thus allows operation times of several years.
The biological performance capacity is outstanding: A single liter (one US
quart) of
sera siporax pond
has the same breakdown performance as ap-
prox. 34 liters (9 US gal.) of clay material. In other words: It provides enor-
mously high breakdown performance with very little space requirements.
Also, it requires very little maintenance and will last for a long time!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Attention electrical shock!
All electrical units must be
disconnected
from the mains/power supply
before conducting work at the
sera KOI
Professional 24000 Pond Filter
, the UV-C lamp, the pond pump as well
as all other work in and around the pond.
Attention UV radiation!
Do not look into the eye damaging light of the
UV-C lamp. Switch off the lamp before cleaning or maintenance.
The sets with the item nos. 08650, 08651 and 08653 can be equipped with
further accessories. It is possible to connect each two
sera pond UV-C
Systems 55 W
and two pond pumps to the pond
fi
lter canister.
This device may be used only according to this information for use.
