Installation

Oase recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 1 bar.
Fig. A:
− BioPress 6000/10000: Shorten stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincide with the hose
diameter. This helps to avoid pressure loss.
− Push the union nuts over the stepped hose adapters, push or turn on the stepped hose adapter, and secure with the
hose clips.
− Insert the flat sealing ring or the O ring into the union nut for the black hose adapter and screw onto the pressure
filter inlet.
− Insert the flat sealing ring including the flow indicator flap for the transparent stepped hose adapter, then screw onto
the pressure filter outlet.
The cleaning effect of the pressure filter can be checked at the transparent stepped hose adapter with flow indicator
flap.
Installation
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or serious injuries.

Protective measures:

− Only operate the unit with the protection hood fitted.
− Ensure that the unit is installed water-tight with a safety distance from the water of a minimum of 2 m.
Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 40 ºC).
Figure B:
− Place the pressure filter in a flood protected position at a distance from the pond edge of at least 2m on firm and
level ground. As an alternative, the filter can also be partly buried up to approx. 5 cm below the closing clamps.
