The following sections describe maintenance work necessary for optimum and fault-free operation. Regular maintenance prolongs the service life and assures functionality of the filter over a long period.

Cleaning the filter

The inside of the filter must be checked approximately every 4 weeks and cleaned according to the degree of soiling. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the mains plugs of the pump and the UVC clarifier.

6. Clean the inside of the filter housing with a water jet.
7. Install the filter again in reverse order (☒C).

Recommended maintenance

The service life of the active carbon fleece is limited to approx. 4 weeks. After this, the fleece releases the harmful substances back into the water. The fleece can simply be removed or replaced by a new fleece if necessary.
