Assembly and operation
Complete every step (1. – 6.).
1. Location
The
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
must be placed on one lev-
el with the pond surface in a
fl
at, horizontal position, allowing the water to
run back directly from the
fi
lter into the pond without water pushing back
or counter pressure. Only a hose with max. 2 m (6.6 ft.) length and the
same diameter as the outlet may be connected to the
fi
lter outlet. An arti-
fi
cial brook is suitable for directing the puri
fi
ed water back into the pond in
case you wish to place the
fi
lter in some distance to the pond.
The position of the
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
should be
chosen in a way that prevents knocking over the
fi
lter by pets, playing chil-
dren or the like.
The
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
is
not
suitable for indoor
use.
2. Inserting the sera split sieve and the sera
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponges
with over
fl
ow pipe
(The split sieve and the
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponges with over
fl
ow are already
inserted in the
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
by default.)
Insert the small
sera
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponge into the oval sponge chamber
in a way that the over
fl
ow opening of the
sera
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponge is lo-
cated on the large opening of the sponge support area. The big
sera
fi
ne
mesh
fi
lter sponge is also inserted in a way that the over
fl
ow openings of
the
sera
fi
ne mesh
fi
lter sponges align with each other. The
sera
over
fl
ow
pipe is now pushed through both sponges and the big opening of the
sponge support area so the
sera
over
fl
ow pipe stands on the Matala mat.
The
sera
over
fl
ow pipe ensures that the over
fl
ow openings in the sponges
keep a stable diameter and cannot clog.
Insert the
sera
split sieve with the arrow directing upwards and with at-
tached seal ring into the
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
. The
rounded edges of the
sera
split sieve are facing downwards.
3. Connection to pump
Push the mounting adapter (3.1.1) through the opening in the
fi
lter wall. The
rubber O-ring seal must be attached on the inside, directly on the
fi
lter wall
(3.1.2). Fasten the adapter by screwing on the ring nut from the outside.
Push the variable hose connector through the union nut, and place the
O-ring seal inside the union nut. Firmly screw the hose connector onto the
mounting adapter (3.1.3).
Check the diameter of your current hoses to the smallest diameter of the
hose connector. Smaller sections of the connector can be trimmed-back
with an (iron) saw to allow better
fl
ow with larger diameter hoses (3.2). Be-
fore installing the hose connectors, always grease both O-rings with the sil-
icon oil included with the kit. Only then you may push them into the open-
ing up to the stop and fasten the screw cap (3.2).
4. Connecting the waste water removal valve
If the waste water removal valve is not installed aside the split sieve, con-
nect it with the O-rings seal, as shown in
fi
g. 4.
You can screw the waste water removal valve clockwise into the counter
piece that you hold on the inside to do so. Hand-tight fastening is suf
fi
cient
in this case. Fill the waste water chamber below the split sieve with water
and check whether the waste water removal valve is water proof.
5. Connecting a sera pond UV-C System 55 W
You will
fi
nd a detailed description about how to install the
sera pond
UV-C System 55 W
to the
sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
in the
information for use of the
sera pond UV-C System 55 W
.
6. Test run when connecting one or two UV-C systems
Carry out a test run after having
fi
nished items 1 – 5.
Prior to using the
sera pond UV-C System 55 W
, the fully installed unit
must be operated under normal operation conditions as expected later on
for at least 24 hours WITHOUT CONNECTING THE UV-C SYSTEM TO THE
POWER/MAINS SUPPLY, i.e. in simple
fl
ow operation connected to a
pump, as to discover possible leaks in advance.
The water
fl
ow and pressure (pumping height) should match that of normal
operation. Please refer to the instructions for use of the UV-C unit for fur-
ther information.
Maintenance and cleaning
All components of the
fi
lter should be cleaned regularly as to ensure opti-
mum water puri
fi
cation performance.
Cleaning the sera KOI Professional 24000 Pond Filter
a) Cleaning the split sieve (2.2.1) and the waste collection chamber
(2.2.3)
Disconnect all electrical components from the mains/power supply (UV-C
system, pump, etc.) in and around the pond. Take off the cover of the
fi
lter
casing (aside the
sera pond UV-C System 55 W
).
Place an empty bucket within reach. Slowly open the waste water remov-
al valve (2.2.2) and allow the waste water to run out. Wash out remaining
dirt with a hose or a watering can. Firmly attached dirt is best removed by
hand with waterproof gloves. Now close the waste water removal valve
again. You can also use a hose nozzle with outside thread to
fi
rmly con-
nect a hose which, for example, leads onto a
fl
ower bed. Therefore, clean-
ing the waste collection chamber is quickly done.
Now take out the split sieve. Wash the split sieve on both sides using a
hose. Particles stuck in the splits can carefully be removed with a scrub-
bing brush. Do not use a wire brush or hard items to clean the split sieve.
The splits must not be damaged as to prevent the optimal puri
fi
cation ef-
fect of the sieve from being affected.
Put the split sieve back into its holder after cleansing, the mark located at
the top. The split sieve lifter is simply placed on the top right or left. Put the
fi
lter chamber cover back on.
