Aqua Forte BioFleece Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 9

The AquaForte "BioFleece" pump fed fleece filter provides both fine mechanical filtration, by
means of the fleece membrane, and biological filtration, by means of the "bio-drum" with
filter media.
The water is pumped into the filter (1) and passes through the fleece membrane to gravity
exit the filter through the "bio-drum" (3). The fleece membrane is capable of capturing
solids up to approximately 40 micron therefore preventing the biological filter area from
"bio fouling". Nitrifying bacteria will establish on the filter media inside the "bio-drum" to
break down any harmful ammonia and nitrite. The biological area is virtually maintenance
free as only pre-filtered water will enter.

When the fleece membrane slowly saturates with waste the water
level inside the filter house will rise until it reaches the top sensor (5).
When this sensor is in contact with water for 60 seconds it will trigger
the motor to run. The motor will slowly turn the bio-drum for 3
seconds to provide new (clean) fleece membrane for the water to flow
through. This action causes the water level inside the filter to go
down. After this action, the control unit has a delay time of 20 seconds
in which it will not respond to the level sensor. If the sensor remains
active because of an error (i.e. a blocked water return pipe), the
control unit will trigger the motor function again up to 3 times. If the
error has not corrected all LED indicators will flash in order to indicate
the error.
This safety function is especially designed to prevent unnecessary use
of fleece membrane roll. When you press the red button you will
manually cancel the error and the delay time.
In the event that the motor does not operate correctly or the fleece
membrane is not transported the right way, the water will always
safely return to the pond through the safety outlet (4).
