Biotec 30 is a multi-zone filter for large ponds up to 130m^3 , or up to 65m^3 for fish ponds. The arrangement of brushes, mats and sponges in this filter accelerates the filtration of larger dirt particles. This allows the microorganisms to break down harmful nutrients more effectively.

Assembly

In order to use the Biotec filter, it is necessary to fit the connecting parts and washers. See Illustrations 1-3 at the end.

1. Inlet (Illustration 1):

Attach matching gasket (2) to the stepped hose adapter (1) then screw together with inlet nozzle (3) from the inside. Attach air hose (4). Caution: Slit opening of inlet nozzle must point downwards!

2. Dirt outlet (Illustration 1):

Attach matching gasket (6) to outlet (5) and push into hole at bottom of container. Screw tightly into place from the inside using enclosed screws (7).

3. Clear water outlet (Illustration 2):

Push thread nipple (1) with washer (2) and matching gasket (3) through the hole of the container from the inside. Fit a gasket from the outside, too, and screw on ball cock (4).

4. Outlet (Illustration 2):

Insert seal ring (5) into borehole and push in outlet pipe (6). The sealing lip must point to the inside.

5. Bitron (Illustration 3):

In order to connect the Bitron 15/25, another 2 gaskets per Bitron outlet have to be fitted (included in Biotec 30 inlet set) in addition to the extension components included with the Bitron 15/25. Put the gasket (1) on the Bitron outlet and then fit the spacer ring (2) and O-ring (3). Attach Bitron 15/25 at the boreholes in the container and press the gasket (1) against the container wall from the inside. Screw on inlet nozzle (4). The Bitron 36/72 can be connected directly. See also the instructions for use of the Bitron 36/72.

Installation

Place filter on a firm level base. If using a UVC lamp, leave a gap of at least 2m to the water. You might wish to do this in any case, should you wish to add a Bitron later on.

Directions for use

Start-up

1. Connect pump in pond via a hose to the adapter on the filter.

2. Cut adapter to right size to fit hose

3. If necessary, briefly dip ends of hose in boiling water before attaching
4. Lay hose without twists and so that it cannot be stepped on

5. Affix hose clips to ends of hose

6. Lay domestic DN 100 drainage pipes from the filter outlet to the pond inlet with a gradient of at least 1% . If the pipes are not UV-resistant, possibly cover them with earth. Extend the wastewater outlet with DN 70 drainage pipes.

7. Switch on pump and test water flow.

Special guidelines:

The hose connections on the filter must be fitted with care.
The filter must never overflow (e.g. due to a clogged drain). Danger of pond emptying.
The filter system is a biological system and requires a few weeks after initial installation to become fully effective.
The filter should be in permanent operation and never run dry.

Maintenance and cleaning (Illustration 4)

Biotec filters are maintenance-free, however they should be cleaned whenever necessary.

To drain the wastewater, pull out the slide-bar (1) in the intermediate base and the stopper (2) in the wastewater drain. This lets the wastewater drain away freely. If necessary, some clean water can be drained via the clear water outlet (3). This significantly reduces the amount of dirty water.

1. Clean the filter brushes (4) as often as possible. To do this, rinse the brush frame. This can be done inside or outside the container. The bottom end of the brushes should rest on the black filter mat.(Illustration 5)
2. Only clean the filter mats (5) when necessary. They become more effective as bacterial growth increases. The filter mats can also be cleaned inside or outside the container. The filter mats 1-5 must be fitted in the correct order.
3. Clean the blue (6) and red (7) sponges when the water through-flow is no longer adequate and the water level rises above the sponges. The sponge holders can be easily pulled out of the intermediate base to facilitate cleaning.

Only rinse filter elements with water. Do not use chemical cleansing agents!

Directions for use

Winter

Clean filter, empty container and hoses and leave to dry.
