DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The pressure lter with integrated UVC lamp is a closed system for the biological and mechanical ltering of pond water with a temperature between +4 ° and +35 ° C. It was designed exclusively for household use to clean ponds with and without sh.

• Dangerous ultraviolet radiation. The rays of the UVC lamp are harmful to eyes and skin. Never use the lamp outside of the housing.

• The pond pressure lter should be set up at least two metres away from the pond to prevent it from falling in.

• The lter should be turned on in front of the UVC lamp and the lamp should never be active without running water.

• Do not use the device if the connection cable, the UVC lamp or the housing appears to be damaged.

• Do not use the appliance while people are in the water.

• Should overheating occur, the built-in temperature sensor will automatically shut off the UV lamp. It will turn the device back on after the temperature returns to normal.

• Never open the case or the lamp unless explicitly stated in this manual.

• Make sure that a fuse with max. 30 mA with a safety switch (FI or RCDI) is installed.

• Always unplug all plugs before working on the lter.

• For your own safety, consult an electrician if you are unsure about connecting the electrical parts.

• Never immerse the device in water.

• Never use connections, adapters, extensions or connection cables without a fuse.

• Keep the connection parts dry.

• Never pull or carry the device by the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to come into contact with sharp objects or heat.

• Place the cables in such a way that they do not obstruct the way and so that they cannot be damaged.

• The water pressure in the lter must not exceed 0.2 bar.

• Only operate the lter with hoses that are designed for a pressure of at least 0.2 bar.

• Check and clean the drain towards the pond at regular intervals.

• Always keep free of debris, otherwise there might be an increase in pressure, which can lead to leakage and drainage of the pond.

• As long as the lter is being operated in ‘lter mode’, all connections of the hoses must be sealed with a sealing cap.

• Before turning on the lter, make sure all connections are correctly made and that all connections are tight.

• Never lter liquids other than water.

• If it is frosty, you must remove the lter.

• Place the lter so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.19 EN20

OPERATION A Water inlet The pump is connected to the water inlet via a pressure hose. B Swirl system Biomass is precipitated by centrifugal forces. C Mechanical lter Dirt particles are absorbed on the outside of the sponge before the water reaches the inner chamber of the lter. D Biological water clarication The pores of the sponge have a large internal surface which can be colonised by microorganisms. The sponges vary in size and density. This creates zones in which the water ows at different speeds. Higher velocity zones are more populated by microorganisms that convert ammonium into nitrate. Areas of slower ow rate particularly aid the growth of anaerobic microorganisms which reduce nitrate to nitrogen. E Primary clarication of the pond water As the water ows through, it is momentarily exposed to the ultraviolet light of the UV-C lamp. This destroys harmful bacteria and germs while reducing algae growth. F Water outlet with ow indicator At the outlet, the claried water is returned to the pond.21

G Cleaning connection A hose can be connected for cleaning the lter itself, via which the accumulated dirt can be drained off, for example to fertilise a owerbed or simply dispose of it. H Function switch The function switch is used to switch between the normal water outlet and the cleaning outlet. I Cleaning the lter sponges with the handle function. The lter sponges can be cleaned while the lter is in operation by ‘pumping’ and pressing the cleaning handle hard. The following installation instructions must be observed. Pressure drop due to the height dierence The selection table is based on a maximum height difference of water surface to the highest point of the lter of 1 metre. If the difference in height exceeds 1 metre, you will need to use a larger pump in your system. To avoid pressure loss, trim the adapter to the appropriate size. Avoid unnecessary corners and pressure points, which also lead to pressure loss. For hoses over 4 metres, use the type with the upper values of the scale. To avoid a pressure drop, cut the step-shaped adapter at the correct points for each hose. cut cut22

Assembly and connecon of the pressure lter Choose a suitable location for the pressure lter. Please note the following points. Install the lter so that it is protected from ooding. Secure your lter so that it does not fall into the pond. It should be placed at least 2 m from the edge of the pond. Place the lter on a rm and level surface, for example, on a plate. The lter can also be buried up to the level with the lter box. Ensure that there is unobstructed access to the lid when working on the lter, as well as when cleaning the lter sponges and connecting hoses. Connecng hoses Use the selection chart to decide which tubing diameter you need. Operate the lter only with pressure hoses approved for a pressure of 0.2 bar, or the maximum pressure of the pump. We recommend warming the hose with hot water, pushing it onto the spiral hose adapter and securing it with a hose clamp. This makes the connection more watertight. To avoid pressure loss, cut the spiral graduated hose adapter into the appropriate location for each hose.23

CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY

Slide the nut onto the black spiral-shaped hose adapter. Insert the at gasket into the nut and screw it rmly onto the water inlet nozzle. We recommend that you divert the cleaned water, for example over a small stream, rather than leading it directly back into the pond. This enriches the water with additional oxygen. Connecting to cleaning connection You can have a drainage hose permanently connected to the cleaning connection. This allows you to drain the dirty water directly into the sewerage system or onto a ower bed. Connecon of pressure lter Before putting your new pond lter into operation, make sure that all cable and hose connections are correct and that the sealing rings are not tilted. The switch must be set to ‘lter function’ and you should follow the instructions below.

1. Switch on the pump.

Attention: The UV-C lamp must not be put into operation before the pump is pumping water.

2. Check that all connections are waterproof.

3. Connect the lter. The indicator light now illuminates with a blue light.

During the rst or a new installation, full cleaning performance will only develop after a few weeks after the necessary microorganisms have formed. This occurs particularly quickly at ambient temperatures above 10 ° C. Choose a suitable location for the pressure lter. Please observe the installation guidelines regarding the clear water guarantee as well as the following guidelines. Install the lter so that it is protected from ooding. Secure your lter so that it does not fall into the pond. It should be located at least 2 metres from the pond.24

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The pressure lter is largely maintenance-free. The lter sponges should be cleaned regularly. Suspended matter and dirt are deposited in the lter sponges over time. These deposits reduce the effectiveness of the lter, so the lter sponges should be cleaned regularly, about every two weeks. The lter sponges must be cleaned when cloudy or even polluted water from the water outlet ows back into the pond.

1. Remove the cap from the cleaning port or from the drain hose connected

to the cleaning port. There will be a small water ow.

2. Pull the function switch slightly upwards and turn it clockwise until it locks

in the ‘clean’ position.

3. Tighten the cleaning handle and ‘pump’ several times. This will compress

and mechanically clean the lter sponges.

4. Push the cleaning handle down to the lid.

5. As soon as only clean water has been seen through the transparent spiral-

shaped hose adapter on the cleaning connection, pull the function switch slightly upwards and turn it counterclockwise until it locks in the ‘lter’ position.

6. Firmly screw the cap with the at gasket inserted onto the cleaning port or

drain hose connected to the cleaning port.

7. The lter will start running again. Check the water ow in the pond.

Cleaning the lter sponges If the ow of water through dirty lter sponges is too low and cannot be improved by cleaning with the handle function, the lter sponges must be washed or replaced. To avoid killing the microorganisms in the lter sponges, please do not use chemical cleaning agents.

1. Disconnect the mains plug of the lter.

2. Turn off the pump and make sure that it cannot be turned on accidentally.

3. Remove all hoses by unscrewing the nuts.

4. Remove the clamping ring. Open the clamping ring.

5. Lift the lid off with the lter sponge. Lay the lid upside down on another

top. The lter sponges are on the lter. The plate will be pointing upwards. Wear indicator The lter sponges are pre-installed. The lter sponges may fall apart due to mechanical stress and normal aging. This can lead to a short circuit in the lter. To check the lter sponges, they must be placed one above the other on the lower lter plate without ‘air gaps’. The distance between the lter sponges and the lter plate must be less than 1 cm.25

6. Remove the upper lter plate by loosening the two screws.

7. Remove the lter sponges and clean them under running water. Wring

out the lter sponges vigorously.

8. Pull on the lower lter plate.

9. Clean the lter box, the lid with grid tube, the two lter plates and the

clamping ring by spraying them with a water hose.

10. Lightly lift the bypass valve and clean the inlet comb of the lter (see

11. Clean the cover gasket and the edge of the lter box.

12. Slide the lter plate with the collar up on the mesh tube and cleaning

13. The lter sponges will be pushed out from the housing cover, starting

with a large blue lter sponge and always alternating with a small yellow lter sponge. The cleaning rods are located in the two openings of the large chamber of the lter sponges.

14. Place the lter plate with the collar down, fasten the cleaning rods ush

with the two screws on the lter plate.

15. Place the lid gasket on the top of the lter box and allow the gasket to get

wet for easy installation.

16. Place the lid with the lter sponge unit onto the lter box.

17. Place the clamping ring on the edge of the lter box and lid, push the lid

down and click to x into place. Push in the safety lock.

18. Secure all hoses with at gaskets or ow blades to the appropriate port

by tightening the nuts.

19. Switch on the pressure lter again26

Cleaning the quartz tube

1. Diconnect the mains plug of the lter.

2. Open the lid of the lter.

3. Remove upper lter plate and lter sponges.

4. Remove the upper container.

5. Clean the quartz tube with a damp cloth.

6. Set up all part of the lter as follows.

7. Put the pressure lter back into operation.

Replacing the UVC lamp The UVC lamp must be replaced after 8,000 hours of operation in order to ensure that the lter continue to operate with optimum effectiveness.

1. Loosen the 8 screws of the lter cover and the handle. Remove the lamp

from the lter cover.

2. Pull out the UVC lamp and replace the lamp.

3. Insert the UVC lter into the lter cover and fasten the 8 screws.
