Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to
always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it.
Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.
General remarks
Operating time
The correct moment to commission your filter system depends on the weather. In general, it should be
possible to operate the filter system between April and October.
Commissioning
•
Do not change the entire water present in the pond. Faded and died off plants should be re-
moved and replaced by new ones. To achieve a biological balance, it is advisable to plant ap-
prox. 30
% of the pond. You should absolutely clean off the mud accumulated on the bottom of
the pond during winter.
•
When installing your filter system for the first time, make sure that the system is suitable for the
size of your pond. We will be happy to advise you concerning the filter system suitable for your
individual pond.
•
Just from the beginning, place the pond filter at the provided location in your garden. The relo-
cation of the filter is very difficult due to the weight of the filter materials and water. The filter
should be set in a balance, thus ensuring that no water flows over during operation. Moreover,
it is ensured by this means that, while cleaning, the coarsedirt can be removed completely
through the waste outlet and does not remain in the filter due to a sloping position.
•
The pressure pond filters can be carved in the ground at the side of the pond, it is also possible
to place them beneath the water level; however, this is not possible when installing a bio pond
filter.
•
We recommend the recirculation of the water via a course of stream, thus ensuring an additional
oxygen enrichment. In case you decide to use a stream, note that the pond filter is located
above said stream. In case of a recirculation via a tube, we recommend, if possible, not to
reduce the outlet. Otherwise, there is the danger of a backlog in the filter tank that may cause
an overflow of the system.
Assembly of the UVC-clarifier (optional)
•
Remove the device from the package and check carefully if there is a damage due to transport.
A broken quartz glass or bulb caused by the shipping of the device prevents the proper com-
missioning of the clarifier.
•
The assembly of the clarifier on the filter should be done by two persons.
•
Slide the clarifier into the two openings of the filter provided therefor and fix it in this position.
Now a second person installs the screws of the clarifier on the inside of the filter. For details,
see our illustrated mounting instruction. When all screw fittings are fixed tightly, you can let go
of the clarifier.
•
Consider the minimum distance of 2
m to the pond border when a clarifier is installed.
•
The UVC clarifier can be operated for one or several hours. Here is a rule of thumb:
o
very strongly clouded water (opaque) = 12 hours a day
o
strongly clouded water (several centimeters of limpid water only) = 8 hours a day
o
slightly clouded water (50
cm of limpid water) = 4 hours a day
