In addition to the basic safety instructions, also comply with the following instructions to prevent accidents:

1. ATTENTION: Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical devices immersed in the pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet. Do not operate the pump if there are people in the water. Switch off the main fuse of the main domestic power supply, before unplugging the mains cable, if the connection plug or the main power outlet are wet. Never transport or suspend the device by the mains cable.

2. Ensure that the voltage specified on the type plate of the device agrees with the mains voltage.

3. Prior to connecting the device to the mains supply, ensure that the mains cable and the device are not damaged in any way.

4. The mains cable of the device must form a loop that points downward (DRIP LOOP) to prevent water from running along the cable and into the socket outlet.

5. The device must have a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a rated residual current of max. 30 mA connected on the line side. Consult a qualified electrician.

6. Do not bury the mains cable in the ground; follow the installation instructions specified in the applicable local regulations. Consult a qualified electrician.

7. Prior to placing the device in service, ensure that the installation has been properly executed.

8. Install the filter at least 2 meters away from the edge of the pond; ensure that it is attached in such a manner that it cannot accidentally fall into the water and that the installation area of the filter cannot be flooded.

9. Do not use or store the device in areas where there is danger of freezing. In winter the device should be removed, emptied and stored where it is protected against freezing.

10. Do not let the pump run dry (without water flow).

11. Do not use the device with corrosive liquids.

12. The temperature of the pumped liquid must not exceed 35^ C (max.) and must not underrange 2^ C

13. ATTENTION! Only use the UVC filter together with the safety transformer included in the scope of delivery. If there is a defect, the complete UVC unit must be replaced.

14. ATTENTION: This device emits UVC radiation that can harm eyes and skin. Do not use the bulb outside of the device

15. ATTENTION: NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE UVC TUBE WHEN IT IS SWITCHED ON

16. ATTENTION: This device consists partially of glass! Handle with care!

17. The max. temperature of the pumped liquid must not exceed 35^ C

18. Never connect the filter to the public water supply network.

19. The UV filter is not designed for immersion in water. If the device should accidentally fall into the water, do not, under any circumstances, attempt to get it out of the water, until you have pulled the mains plug out of the mains socket outlet. Also unplug the mains plug if you determine that the exterior of the device is wet

20. To avoid an overheating of the lamp, please switch of the lamp if there is no direct water flow.

21. ATTENTION! Temporarily stop the operation of the UVC lamp, while treating the water or fish inside your pond with additional care products.

Attention! Use in garden ponds and the protected area of garden ponds is only permitted if the installation complies with the valid regulations. Consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT use the pump in or on swimming pools!

4. Application areas

This device has been developed for private use and not for industrial or commercial purposes.

5. Placing in service

When tightening threaded connections, please do not apply excessive force which may cause damage. Please observe the illustrations, too, which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating instructions. The numeric and other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.

5.1 Placing in service

Attention! Comply with the safety measures specified for the UVC emitter (see above)! (See the provided operating instructions).

Install the connection socket outlet in the water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the edge of the pond!

Connect the pond pump to the mains supply.

Check whether the hose is connected so that it is watertight.

UV-C should be fixed on a base with a weight of at least 18 kg. Connect the UVC emitter to the mains Supply, plug the mains plug into the socket outlet.

You can check the function of the UVC tube through a bluish shimmer on the transparent discharge port of the UVC emitter.

For this filter system we recommend continuous operation (24 hours a day), in the season months March to October.

6. Maintenance and care

Attention! Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical devices immersed in the pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet

Attention! The power cord of this device cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the UVC emitter contained in the filter, including the ballast, is unusable and must be properly disposed of. Repair is not possible because the connecting lines are permanently cast.

6.1. Cleaning of the UV-C lamp and replacing the tube

In case of stronger accumulation of alga and calcification, the correct function of the UV C unit should be checked. UVC tube (2) has a limited period of effectiveness (approx. 4000 to 5000 hours) and should be replaced at the latest after one season (March to October). Appropriate replacement tubes are available at the service address specified below.

If the pond filter has been switched off for a longer period of time, ensure that the quartz glass cylinder that encloses the UVC tube is clean.

If the filter has not been operated for a longer period of time, under some circumstances it may be necessary to replace the sealing rings (particularly for the UVC emitter).

Cleaning of the UV-C lamp

1. Disconnect the UVC lamp from the mains power and safeguard it from being switched on unintentionally
2. Comply with the safety measures.
3. Allow the water to completely run out of the unit.
4. Carefully take the lamp socket (1) out of the housing (5) and replace the UVC tube (2) if needed.

Cleaning of the quartz glass cylinder

1. After disassembling the lamp socket (1) and UV-C tube (2) take carefully the Quartz glass (3) out of the housing. You may use a wide screw driver or a coin. Insert the tool into the recess, which is at the end of the thread of the protective sleeve and lift it carefully out.

2. Clean the Quartz glass (3) and housing (5) thoroughly with water and a soft cloth.

3. If needed, remove calcifications from the Quartz glass (3) with a suitable solvents. Rinse out thoroughly before reassembling.

4. If quartz glass tube or O-rings are defective they must always be replaced.

Assemble everything in reverse order.

While inserting the quartz glass into the protective housing (5), make sure the recess and groove engage exactly. Assure the O-Ring (4) is exactly inserted in the groove of the quartz glass. Where necessary, grease O-rings (4) with Vaseline. For installation of the lamp socket, the micro switch of the lamp socket (Fig. III, A) is correctly inserted in the groove of the previously mounted quartz glass (Fig. III B). Otherwise without contact there is no function (see Fig. I).

Replacing the UVC tube:

1. Disconnect the UVC lamp from the mains power for the maintenance.

2. Screw the socket (1) from the housing of the lamp. Remove the UV-C-tube (2) and replace the old tube with a new one.

Assemble all parts in reverse order and ensure the O-Ring is correctly inserted. Lubricate the O-Ring with some vaseline.

Caution! Do not touch UVC tube (2) directly with your hand; put on cotton gloves!

Old UV-C tubes shall not get broken and must not be disposed in regular garbage bin. Contact your local waste disposal company. Do not use an sharp edged tools. In case Quartz glass cylinder or O-ring are defect, they should get replaced immediately.

Function check of UVC lamp

In case the UVC lamp does not shine, the micro switch might not be activated. The UVC lamp should get completely reassembled.

1. Assemble UV-C tube (2) including Quartz glass (3) to lamp socket (1).

2. Make sure O Ring (4) is inserted

3. Pull the protective housing (5) over the UV-C tube and Quartz glass and connect to the socket. By doing so the micro switch should get active automatically.

The UVC tube works properly if you see a bluish light at the end of the lamp socket (1).

Winter - maintenance

• Protect your UVC tube from freezing!
• Completely clean the UVC tube as specified in the instructions.
• Store the UVC tube over winter in a frost-free location
