2.2 Function description

The ProfiClear Premium Individual Module is designed for enhanced filtering of pond water and can be adapted to the individual conditions of your pond. For this it contains two strainer baskets that can be filled with filter media such as activated carbon or zeolite.

The filter module can be integrated in a gravity fed or pump fed system.

The filter module can be installed as a pump chamber at a distance of 2m from a swimming pond to conform with standards.

(Attention: Larger distances may be prescribed in some countries).

Activated carbon such as AquaActiv Carbon is made from hard coal, brown coal, peat or coconut shell. With the aid of activated carbon, chemical contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides and pharmaceutical residues can be removed from the water. Fulvic acid is also adsorbed.

Phosphate binders such as Aqua Activ PhosLess bind large quantities of phosphates and heavy metals. Phosphates are particularly responsible for the growth of algae.

Pond peat such as AquaActiv AquaHumin is also a natural mineral and contains large quantities of humic acid. It is able to reduce undesirably high carbonate levels and pH values. It also prevents the growth of algae.

Zeolite such as AquaActiv PondLith is a naturally occurring mineral. Over the course of time, the surface of the zeolite is colonised by bacteria that are important for nitrification. Contaminants such as ammonium are also adsorbed.

Filter media < 8 mm must be additionally filled into a filter medium bag.

2.3 Optional configurations for installation as a gravity-fed system

5 Installation and connection

5.1 Installation planning

Note:

Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.

The unit weighs more than 25 kg ( Technical Data).

Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account, you will obtain optimum operating results.

The following conditions must be met:

As the filter modules are very heavy when filled, they must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs, but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent them from subsiding.
▶ Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
- Drain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into the pond.
- If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least DN 110 pipes.
▶ Use a suitable system for removing coarse soiling, e.g. ProfiClear Premium Drum Filter Module.

5.2 Information regarding pipes

▶ Use suitable pipes.
- Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45^ are very efficient.
▶ Glue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop them from coming apart.
▶ Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this reason, lay the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
For gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the return to the pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.

5.3 Installing the filter module and connecting it to additional filter modules

The Individual Module is fitted as the final stage in a row of ProfiClear Premium filters.

How to proceed:

□M

1. Position the Individual Module container behind the Moving Bed container or the drum filter and push it towards the other module (drum filter or other Moving Bed module) until the outlet socket of the other module slides inside the rubber socket of the Individual Module up to the stop.
   The slide valves of the soiled water drains are all located on the same side.

2. Secure the connection with a hose clip.

3. First position the hose clip screw at the top, then tighten. This facilitates later installation steps.

5.4 Returning the water to the pond

After it has passed through all cleaning stages, the clean water has to be returned to the pond. For this, connect DN 110 pipes to both DN 110 outlets.

GB

6 Commissioning/start-up

How to proceed:

1. Close the slide valve for the DN 75 dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Fill the container with water:

- Pump fed system: Switch on the filter pump.

- Gravity fed system: Open the slide valves (supply and return) of the ProfiClear Premium filter series to allow the water to flow.

1. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
2. Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
3. Fill the strainer baskets with filter medium ( Function description), if necessary.
4. When all filter containers are filled with water, switch on the other electrical units (e.g. filter pumps). If using filter starters (e.g. OASE BioKick CWS), do not operate any UVC clarifying units for at least 24 hours so as not to disturb the colonisation of the filter media by micro-organisms.

7 Remedy of faults

Malfunction	Possible cause	Remedy
No flow of water	Filter pump not switched on	Switch on the filter pump, connect the power plug
	Supply to filter system or return to pond blocked	Clean the supply and/or return
Water flow insufficient	Bottom drain, pipe or hose blocked Clean, replace if necessary
	Hose kinked Check hose, and replace if necessary
	Excessive loss in lines Reduce line length to necessary minimum
No water is pumped out of the container	Filter pump in the container is defective Refer to the filter pump operating manual

8 Maintenance and cleaning

Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.

Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.

Protective measures: Isolate the unit prior to reaching into the water and carrying out any work on the unit. Secure the unit from being switched on inadvertently.

The entire filter system only needs to be taken out of operation for cleaning and maintenance if it is extremely soiled.
▶ Do not use any chemical cleaning agents as they would kill the filter bacteria.

8.1 Cleaning the container

How to proceed:

1. Switch off all filter pumps.
2. Switch off all other electrical units of the filter system (e.g. UVC clarifying unit).
3. Only applies to gravity fed systems: Close the slide valves (supply and return) of the filters connected in series to prevent further water flow.
4. Open the slide valve for the DN 75 dirt outlet at the bottom of the container and dispose of the soiled water in a permissible way.
5. Carry out cleaning measures.
6. Close the slide valve (dirt outlet).
7. Start up the filter system again ( Start-up).

8.2 Maintenance of the filter media

Please refer to the manufacturer's specifications for maintenance of the filter media. Otherwise it is sufficient to occasionally remove and rinse the strainer baskets.

9 Storage/Over-wintering

The unit is protected from frost:

The unit can be operated as long as the water temperature does not go below +4 °C.

The unit is not protected from frost:

Take the unit out of operation at water temperatures below +8^ C or, at the latest, when freezing temperatures are to be expected.

• Drain the unit as far as possible, clean thoroughly and check for damage.
  ▶ Empty all hoses, pipes and connections as far as possible.
  ▶ Leave the slide valves open.
  ▶ Cover the filter container to prevent the penetration of rain water.
  ▶ Protect pipes and slide valves that are in contact with water from frost.
