INSTALLATION
Do not submerge this product in water. The pressure filter should be used in-line, between a pump and
a water feature or waterfall. The filter can also be partially buried to help disguise it in your garden.
Place the filter on a firm and level base, e.g. on a slab. Please make sure that there is unhindered
access to the lid in order to be able to carry out maintenance on the filter.
When the filter is being used at ‘filter’ mode, the cleaning connection or any drainage hose connected
to it must always be sealed with the sealing cap and inserted flat seal in order to prevent the pond
from emptying. At the same time the sealing cap acts as a safe guard in case the function switch is
accidentally set to ‘clean’.
Make sure the Function switch is always set to ‘Filter’ when the pump is in operation. The Function
switch may only be set to ‘Clean’ when cleaning the filter sponges with the handle function. Before
starting up the filter check that the hoses, sealing cap and tension rings are sitting correctly. Never filter
any liquids other than water. Keep the filter out of direct sunlight.
DIAGRAM
A. WATER INLET:
The pump is connected to the water inlet with a pressure hose.
B. VORTEX SYSTEM:
Suspended matter and bio-sludge are precipitated by the centrifugal affect and
gravity.
C. MECHANICAL FILTER:
Dirt particles are trapped by the outer surface of the filter sponges before
the water flows the entire height of the filter from the edge into the inner chamber of the filter.
D. BIOLOGICAL CLARIFYING:
The yellow and blue filter sponges differ in size and density. This
creates zones where the water can flow at different speeds.
E. PRE-CLARIFYING POND WATER:
As the water
flows out it is briefly exposed to ultraviolet radiation
under the UVC lamp. This kills off germs and bacteria
and inhibits algae growth.
F. WATER OUTLET WITH FLOW INDICATOR:
At
the water outlet the clarified water is fed back into the
garden pond via pressure hose or a watercourse etc.
G. CLEANING CONNECTION:
When cleaning the filter a drainage
hose an be connected to the cleaning connection which diverts the
dirty water into the sewage system or into a flowerbed.
H. FUNCTION SWITCH:
The Function Switch is used to switch
between normal water discharge into the pond filter and the cleaning
connection “Clean” and press it to wash the filter sponge.
I. TURBIDIMETER:
If the filter sponge is too dirty, the Turbid will go from green to yellow. This means the
sponge needs to be washed out.
CLEAR WATER:
Clear water is achieved if the fish or stones can be seen at the bottom of the pond at a
depth of 1m.
