Product Description

Properties

Multi Clear Set 5000/8000 is a compact flow-through filter with bio-mechanical filter media and UVC clarifying unit.

- The UVC clarifying unit effectively kills floating algae.

- Multi-chamber filter with two walls separating the chambers that optimise the flow inside the filter, and four different filter media (Japanese filter mat, coarse and fine foam filters, bio-surface elements).

Intended use

Multi Clear Set 5000/8000, referred to as "unit", may only be used as specified in the following:

• For mechanical and biological cleaning of garden ponds
• For operation with clean water.
• Operate in accordance with instructions.
  The following restrictions apply to the unit:
• Do not use in swimming ponds.
• Never use the unit with fluids other than water.
• Never run the unit without water.
• Never operate the UVC lamp outside the casing or use it for any other purposes. The UVC radiation is harmful to the eyes and skin even in small doses.

7. Place the container cover onto the container and carefully press down until the fasteners engage.
8. Fit the UVC clarifying unit. (‡ Cleaning the UVC clarifying unit)

Installation and connection

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.
  – Maximum ambient temperature: 40 °C.

How to proceed:

5 C

– Ensure that the outlet is not more than 1 m above the surface of the pond.

- Ensure that the unit is easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning.

1. Connect the hose to the UVC clarifying unit (stepped hose adapter at the inlet) and to the filter pump (stepped hose adapter at the outlet).

2. Connect e.g. an HT pipe (DN 50) or a 2" hose with a hose clip to the filter container outlet.

Commissioning/start-up

WARNING

Possible death or severe injury from hazardous electrical voltage!

• Prior to reaching into the water, isolate (switch off and disconnect) all units/devices used in the water.
• Isolate the device (disconnect from the power supply) before carrying out any work on it.

How to proceed:

5 D

- First switch on the pump, then the UVC clarifier.

- The UVC clarifying unit is designed to be operated with water passing through it. Never operate the unit without water.

- Switching on: Insert the power plug into the socket.

- The unit switches on immediately.

- The control lamp is lit.

- Check all connections for leaks.

- Switching off: Disconnect the power plug.

NOTE!

- Following installation it takes several weeks for the bacteria to become established and for the filter to become fully effective.

- Increased bacterial activity starts at a water temperature of approx. + 10 °C.

- A temperature monitor switches the UVC lamp off automatically if it overheats and on again once it has cooled down.

NOTE!

- The installed temperature monitor automatically turns the UVC clarifying lamp off, if it is overheated. The UVC lamp will automatically switch on again once cooled down
