3.3 Function description

The main task of the ProfiClear Premium XL drum filter module is to remove coarse dirt particles. Screens (60 m) separate all types of dirt particles before the water reaches the filter biology. By separating the suspended solids, the filter removes most of the nutrient matter from the water.

This means the drum filter module plays an important role in supporting the filter biology in the Moving Bed module and drain module. The maximum circulation capacity in the filter system is 50000 l/h for the pump-fed system and 66000 l/h for the gravity-fed system.

The control system with an integrated micro-controller system automatically controls and monitors the filtration process. The automatic self-cleaning function can be individually adjusted to meet the user's requirements.

3.3.1 Pump fed system

□ C

The filter system must be installed above the water level of the pond. A filter pump pumps the dirty pond water out of the pond into the filter system. The clean water is returned to the pond through a pipe via gravity.

Advantages of the pump fed system:

• Minimal installation work required
• System can be easily extended
• Simple upstream connection of UVC clarifiers.
  • Perfectly tailored to the AquaMax Eco Premium filter pump from OASE

3.3.2 Gravity fed system

□D

The filter system is completely buried (filter pit). The inlet opening is located beneath the water level of the pond. The dirty pond water enters the first filter container via bottom drains or skimmers and then flows into the following filter modules. According to the principle of communicating pipes (hydrostatic pressure), the water level balances out in the containers to the level of the pond. A pump in the last filter module pumps the clean water via a pipe back into the pond.

Advantages of the gravity fed system:

• Excellent transport and thus effective removal of suspended particles using the principle of gravity
  • Energy efficient due to negligible height differences and low frictional losses
• Can be unobtrusively integrated in a water garden
  • UVC clarifiers can be connected in series downstream and are subject to less soiling.
• Ideally adapted to OASE filter pumps AquaMax Eco Gravity and AquaMax Eco Titanium.

3.4 Easy Garden Control System (EGC)

This product can communicate with the Easy Garden Control-System (EGC). EGC allows convenient control in the garden and pond via smartphone or tablet, and ensures maximum convenience and reliability. Information about EGC and the possibilities it offers can be found at www.oase.com/egc-start.

3.5 Intended use

Only use the product described in this manual as follows:

• For cleaning garden ponds and natural water features.
• Operate in accordance with instructions. (→ Technical data)

The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Only operate with water at a water temperature of +4 °C to +35 °C.
• Never use the unit with fluids other than water.
• Not suitable for salt water.
• Never run the unit without water.
• Do not use in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuff, easily flammable or explosive substances.
• Do not use for commercial or industrial purposes.
• This is a class A unit. The unit may cause malfunctions in living environments. It is the user's responsibility to take suitable countermeasures.

4 Installation and connection

NOTE

If the planned installation deviates significantly from the recommendations contained in this manual:

- Have your specialist retailer check whether all technical specifications were adhered to. This is crucial for a problem-free operation.

4.1 Fitting the filter container

□ E

WARNING

Electrical current may cause death or severe injuries.

• Only use electrical units or installations with a rated voltage of U ≤ 12 V in swimming ponds.
• Electrical installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V must be installed at a distance of at least 2 m from the swimming pond.

CAUTION

Due to the high weight of the unit, spinal injuries or crushing of limbs is possible when carrying the unit. The unit weighs more than 25 kg.

• Use suitable lifting equipment (e.g. special load handles).
• Have the aquarium and cabinet carried by several persons to spread the load and protect against spinal injuries.
• Protect limbs from crushing.
• Do not transport the unit when it is filled.

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.

TIP

The filter system operates day and night and causes rinsing noises during the automatic cleaning cycles.

• Please protect the general public and your neighbourhood from noise disturbance and comply with the statutory noise regulations.
• Enclose the filter system such that the enclosure effectively absorbs the noises.
• Select the location of the filter system in order to avoid noise disturbance.

TIP

A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond. In this way, the filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.

4.1.1 Pump-fed system

□ F

• Align the base slab horizontally.
• Install the drum filter module 200 mm higher than the subsequent Moving Bed module, so that the connections of the two modules (outlet and inlet) are at the same height.
• Tip: Use 24 commercially available concrete slabs of 500 × 500 × 50 mm each to create a base surface of 1500 × 1000 mm and construct four layers on top of each other.
• Position the outlet of the filter system so that the water level in the drum filter module is 280 ... 400 mm below the edge of the container.
• Otherwise, optimum or fault-free operation will not possible.
• When using the pump-fed ProfiClear Premium XL drain module, the correct water level will establish itself automatically.
• Ensure that the inlet to the pond (e.g. via a stream or waterfall) is not positioned higher than the outlet of the filter system.

4.1.2 Gravity fed system

□G

The correct installation and constant water level in the pond are important prerequisites for ensuring optimum and fault-free operation of the gravity fed system.

Making a filter pit:

• Excavate a pit of sufficient dimensions to accommodate the filter system.
• Align the base slab horizontally.
• Secure the walls of the pit from falling in (with masonry or concrete).
• Ensure that the pit is protected from flooding. Provide a rain water drain.

Installing the filter system:

• Determine the max. water level for the pond.
- Keeping the water level constant:

- The base slab supporting the filter system must be 680 mm below the max. water level (max. tolerance: -20 mm).

• A constant water level in the pond is necessary for operating the gravity fed system. Tolerances of up to -20 mm from the max. water level are permitted.
• If the max. water level in the pond is exceeded, water flows out of the drum filter module via the dirt channel until the max. water level is reached again.
• If the water level goes below the max. water level by more than 20mm , it is not possible to achieve optimum or fault-free operation.
• Recommendation: ProfiClear Guard automatically refills the pond with water, if the water level drops below the permissible level.

4.2 Connecting the drum filter

4.2.1 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.
• In the case of the gravity fed system, the sum of the losses in the supply line must not exceed 7 mbar (7 cm).
• Otherwise the water level in the filter system will go below the minimum water level during operation. Optimum, fault-free operation will no longer be possible.

4.2.2 Connecting the inlet of the pump-fed system

□ H, I

The drum filter module is equipped with two DN 110 connections and three 50 mm (G2) connections. The DN 110 connections should be used preferentially.

• One UVC clarifier Bitron Premium or one filter pump (with OASE accessories 77191, 73751) can be connected to each DN 110 connection.
• To increase circulation capacity, up to three additional filter pumps can be connected to the 50 mm (G2) connections.
• Continuous operation of the filter pumps is possible without non-return valves. This reduces pressure losses.
• The integrated non-return valves also make intermittent operation of filter pumps on the 50 mm (G2) connections possible.

Installing a UVC clarifier

How to proceed:

• Connect the UVC clarifier. (→ Operating instructions Bitron Premium)
  □H
• Use the triangular plate to fasten the Bitron Premium to the container.

50 mm (G2) connection

How to proceed:

□1

1. Undo the threaded cap with flat seal from the connection.
2. Screw the union nut with 50 mm (G2) hose connector and flat seal onto the connection. Hand-tighten the union nut.
3. Slip the 50 mm (G2) hose of the filter pump onto the hose connector and secure with a hose clip.

4.2.3 Connecting the inlet of the gravity-fed system

□J

The drum filter module is equipped with seven DN 110 connections, to which the inlets from the pond can be connected via pipes.

• Recommendation: Limit the flow rate for each DN 110 inlet to 10000 l/h.
• Use suitable DN 110 pipes for connecting the bottom outlet and/or skimmer and the inlet.
  • Assembly material for connecting the DN 110 pipe: OASE accessories 73751.
• Secure the pipes so that fish cannot swim into them.

4.2.4 Connecting the dirt outlet

□ A, B

The coarse dirt that collects in the dirt channel drains away via the DN 110 coarse dirt outlet (top outlet on the container).

- Connect a suitable DN 110 pipe and drain the dirty water into the sewer system.

The water in the container can be drained via the DN 75 dirt outlet with slide valve at the bottom of the container if required (for cleaning, repair, overwintering).

- Connect a suitable DN 75 pipe and drain the dirty water into the sewer system.

TIP

It is possible to bring together pipe DN 75 and pipe DN 110 from the drum filter for coarse dirt in order to drain the dirty water into the sewer system through a joint pipe DN 110.

This makes it more convenient to flush out the dirty water pipe with sufficient pressure.

4.3 Connecting the control system

The cable harness contains the connection cables of the signal box, the drum motor and the rinsing pump. These connection cables have to be connected, the EGC box is already connected.

□K

- Connect the three connectors of the cable harness to the control system sockets. Hand-tighten the union nuts.

- The connections are designed to prevent reverse polarity.

4.4 Connecting the power pack

The power pack is used to supply power to the control system and the drum motor.

- Always disconnect or establish the plug connection to the control system while no current is applied. To do so, disconnect the power pack from the power supply.

How to proceed:

□L

- Connect the plug on the control system with the socket on the power pack. Hand-tighten the union nut.

- The connections are designed to prevent reverse polarity.

4.4.1 Connecting the EGC box

□M

Integration of the filter system into the EGC network is optional and not necessary for operation. (→ Easy Garden Control System (EGC))

The Connection Cable EGC cable is required for connecting the EGC box.

The correct fastening of the plug connector is important for a secure connection and an interference-free EGC network.

How to proceed:

□ N

1. Remove the protection cap from EGC-IN.

2. Fit the plug connector of the ECG connection cable and secure with the two screws (max. 2.0 Nm).

- Ensure that the rubber seal is clean and fits exactly.

– Replace the rubber seal if damaged.

1. Remove the protection cap from EGC-OUT, fit the terminal resistor and secure it with the two screws (max. 2.0 Nm) or another EGC compatible unit.

- No Connection Cable EGC is connected to EGC-OUT on the last unit in the EGC network. The terminal resistor has to be fitted to this EGC-OUT so that the EGC network is correctly terminated.

- The terminal resistor is included in the delivery scope of the InScenio FM-Master EGC or EGC-Controller.

4.5 Installing the control system with EGC box

4.5.1 Pump fed system

• Install the control system at a minimum distance of 2 m from the pond.
- Protect the control system from direct sun radiation.
- The control system is splash-proof and may be exposed to rain.

How to proceed:

□ O

1. Either attach the control system and EGC box to the container wall or use threaded hooks to mount it in different position.
2. If the EGC box is attached to the container wall, fit both caps onto the cap nuts. – The caps fix the EGC box in place.

4.5.2 Gravity fed system

□ P

• Install the control system at a minimum distance of 2 m from the pond.
- Protect the control system from direct sun radiation.

• With light pressure push the ground stakes into the ground to mark the position.

If the ground is hard:

• Detach the ground stakes from the control system and drive them into the ground.
• Then push the control system onto the stakes.

5 Commissioning/start-up

• Thoroughly clean the pond before starting up the filter system for the first time to ensure that the filter system is not overloaded by excessively soiled water. OASE recommends using the PondoVac pond vacuum cleaner for cleaning the pond.
• This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.
• It is necessary to operate the filter system for 24 hours a day during the pond season.

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.

NOTE

The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical components.

• Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
• Do not transport the unit when it is filled.

NOTE

Never allow the rinsing pump to run dry. Possible consequences: The rinsing pump will be destroyed.

• Check the water level at regular intervals. Ensure that the rinsing pump is always under water during operation.
• Do not switch on the control system until the container is flooded with water.

TIP

During commissioning, Er-88 is indicated in the display of the control system,

• for as long as the final water level is not reached in the filter container,
- when the pump status detection is not correctly set.
If the filter system operates correctly, the system message will reset automatically.

10. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
11. Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
12. Adjust the level detection device, if necessary. ( Setting the level detection device)

5.1.2 Setting the level detection device

□Q

In the case of pump-fed systems, the water level in the filter system is independent of the water level in the pond. The water level in the filter system is dependent upon the circulation capacity. Therefore it may be necessary to adjust the level detection device.

The level detection device can be fitted in three positions. This information is based on the assumption that at least one DN 110 drain is used as a return line to the pond on the pump-fed Premium XL drain module for each 12500 l of flow volume.

• Position 1: For high flow volumes of >45000 l/h and/or severely contaminated ponds.
• Position 2: For normal flow volumes of 30000 ... 45000 l/h (condition on delivery).
• Position 3: For low flow volumes of < 30000l/h (lower rinsing frequency).

How to proceed:

1. Undo both lock nuts. Remove nuts and Allen screws.
2. Move the level detection device according to the hole pattern and fix in place with Allen screws and lock nuts. Tighten both nuts.

2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
4. Manually turn the filter drum for one whole rotation to ensure unobstructed movement.
5. Open the slide valve at the inlet and outlet, if applicable, to fill the filter system with water.

6. Fill the pond until the maximum water level is reached.

7. Check the water level in the drum filter module. Refer to the sticker with level markings on the inside wall of the container.

8. Ideal water level: 120 mm below the top edge of the container

9. Permissible tolerance: -20 mm (140 mm below the top edge of the container)

10. Correct the installation if the minimum water level is not reached.

11. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.

- Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.

1. Fit the container cover.

- The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted.

1. Switch on the control system and perform any necessary adjustments. (→ Operation)

2. Switch on the filter pumps and, if necessary, the UVC clarifiers in the ProfiClear Premium XL drain module.

3. Adjust the level detection device to the water level in the filter system. ( Setting the level detection device)

4. If necessary, adjust the filter pump status detection. (→ Setting the filter pump status detection)

5.2.2 Setting the level detection device

Adjust the level detection device to the water level in the container to ensure the optimum operation of the filter system. A 10 mm open jaw spanner is required for this adjustment.

How to proceed:

□ R

1. Remove the container cover.
2. The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted and E_rH is indicated in the display of the control system.
3. Switch off the filter pumps and check the water level.
4. Ensure that the water level reaches the height of the maximum mark on the inside wall of the container, at least above the Min. mark.
5. Adjust the water level in the pond if necessary.
6. Switch off the mains voltage (ensure that the control system is isolated).
7. Loosen both screws of the level detection device so that it can be easily moved.
8. Fit the container cover.
9. Switch on the control system and filter pumps and start a cleaning cycle.
10. Isolate the control system and remove the container cover.
11. Move the level detection device until the marking on the housing coincides with the water level.
12. Tighten the two screws of the level detection device.
13. Replace the container cover and switch on the control system.

TIP

• Perform the setting quickly following the cleaning cycle. The screen elements continually trap dirt particles. This causes the water level to drop in the container.
• Subsequently start a new cleaning cycle and check the setting. Check the setting if necessary.
• Check the setting again when the desired water quality has been reached.

5.2.3 Setting the filter pump status detection

TIP

Setting is only necessary in the following circumstances:

• The installation height of the filter container differs from the system-specific requirements.
• The admissible frictional resistances in the supply lines differ considerably from those specified.

The filter pump status detection signals via the system message Er-88 if the filter pumps are operating correctly.

• If the filter pumps are switched on and running without malfunctions, the water level in the drum filter drops and the float is suspended freely.
• If the flow volume drops (e.g. malfunction on a filter pump), the water level rises and the system message Er-BB is triggered.

- The system message E_r-88 is not triggered unless the status detection is activated for 10 minutes continuously. This prevents brief fluctuations in the water level from triggering the system message E_r-88 .

Check the setting according to the water level in the filter container and correct it if necessary to ensure that the status detection sends the correct signal. In addition, the losses in the supply lines due to the filter pumps must be at least 3.5 mbar (3.5 cm).

- The status detection can be deactivated if necessary. (→ Setting the filter pump status detection)

How to proceed:

□S

1. Remove the container cover.

- The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted and E_eff is indicated in the display of the control system.

1. Switch off the filter pump.
2. Switch off the mains voltage (ensure that the control system is isolated).
3. Measure the distance between the top edge of the container and the level of the water and determine the necessary position of the holder according to the table.
4. If the determined position differs from the current position, correct it as required.
5. Undo and remove both screws of the holder. Push the holder into the correct position and fasten with both screws.
6. Fit the container cover.
7. Switch on the control system and filter pumps and check the function of the status detection.

The status detection is correctly set if the float sinks with the filter pump switched on and the system message Er-BB is only triggered 10 minutes after the filter pump is switched off.

6.5 Settings in the menus

TIP

Settings can only be made in the menus when the control system is switched on.

6.5.1 CL: Cleaning time "Cleaning"

Setting the cleaning time changes the duration of the cleaning cycle. Extend the cleaning time if the dirt is not completely carried away by the water. This may become necessary if, for instance, very long drain pipes or drain pipes with many bends were installed or there is a particularly large amount of sticky dirt (e.g. during spawning).

Please take into consideration that an extended cleaning time leads to increased water consumption. The default setting of 10 s is normally sufficient (corresponds to approx. a 78 drum rotation).

Once the value 30 is reached, the display returns to 10.Saving the set value: Wait for 5 s until the menu is automatically exited.Cancel without saving and exit the menu: Press or

In addition to automatic cleaning, the unit can also perform a time-dependent cleaning cycle. This is particularly useful for ponds containing fish, because even if there is only a small amount of dirt, excrement is always removed from the water cycle before it leads to a build-up of nutrients.

Adjust the time interval to meet the requirements. The optimum setting of the drum filter module is usually a time interval of 20 minutes (default setting). The function is deactivated at a time setting of 0 minutes.

The time-dependent cleaning cycle does not have any influence on the automatic cleaning cycle that starts when the water level is too low. After each automatic cleaning cycle, the time interval is reset and starts again from the beginning.

8 Maintenance and cleaning

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.

8.1 Cleaning the device

• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they could attack the housing or impair the function of the unit.
• Recommended cleaning agent for removing stubborn limescale deposits:
• Pump cleaning agent PumpClean from OASE.
  – Vinegar- and chlorine-free household cleaning agent.
  • After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts in clean water.

8.2 Regular tasks

The filter system is self-cleaning. Carry out the following work regularly to ensure the optimum cleaning capacity of the filter system.

Regular checks

• Check the display of the control system for any system messages. (→ System messages)
• Check the area in front of the separating plate and the inside of the filter drum for excessive soiling (e.g. string algae). To do this, remove a screen element. (→Removing the screen element)

Removing accumulated dirt

Dirt that cannot be collected by the filter drum, sinks to the bottom and has to be removed.

• Open the DN 75 dirt outlet for approx. 10 seconds once per month.
• Remove accumulated dirt in front of the filter drum.
• Remove string algae from the dirt channel.
• Remove accumulated dirt from the level detection device.

8.3 Cleaning the entire filter system

• 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.

How to proceed:

1. Switch off all filter pumps.
2. Switch off all other electrical units of the filter system (e.g. UVC clarifier).
3. Gravity fed systems only: 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. (→ Commissioning/start-up)

8.4 Cleaning the rinsing device

How to proceed:

□T

1. Fold up the cover.
2. Remove the clips of the cover from the rinsing pipe, remove the cover and start a manual cleaning process to check that the rinsing nozzles are functional. (→ Manual cleaning)

3. Undo the union nut on the clogged nozzle, remove the nozzle and seal from the rinsing pipe and clean the parts. After completing the cleaning process, push the union nut back onto the nozzle and screw it onto the rinsing pipe together with the seal.

4. Align the nozzle so that the marking is at the top.

5. Hand-tighten the union nut.

6. Replace the cover.

7. Position the cover with the clips on the rinsing pipe.

8. Push the rinsing pipe into the clips from the bottom with your fingers while simultaneously applying pressure to the top of the cover.

8.5.2 Decalcifying the screen elements

The error messages Er33, Er55 or an excessive rise in the frequency of cleaning cycles (counter) indicate that there are limescale deposits on the screen elements. ( Reading out the number of cleaning cycles)

Oase recommends that you descale the unit every two to three months as a preventative measure if the water is very hard.

Recommended descaling process:

• Place screen elements in vinegar concentrate (20 ... 25 % acid) and let them soak for at least 30 minutes until the limescale deposits have dissolved. or
• Sprinkle citric acid powder onto moistened screen elements and allow it to react for at least 30 minutes until the limescale deposits have dissolved.

How to proceed:

1. Remove the screen element. ( Removing the screen element)
2. Remove limescale from the screen element.
3. Do not remove the rubber seal of the screen element.
4. Scrub the screen element with a soft brush under running water and rinse well.
5. Refit the screen element.
