Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
The unit may be damaged, if the water flow is suddenly interrupted downstream of the outlet
(e.g. by a slide valve). The sudden interruption can cause a temporary pressure increase of over 1
bar (hydraulic shock).
Switching off: First switch off the pump, then close the slide valve. If the unit is operated in a

filter system, first take the filter system out of operation.
Switching on: First open the slide valve, then switch on the pump. If the unit is operated in a

filter system, start up the filter system last.
As an alternative, install the slide valve upstream of the inlet.


It takes approx. 3 to 4 weeks before the micro-organisms in new filters are fully established.
During this time – or at a water temperature of <10 °C – the filter may overflow. In this case
the filter does not need to be cleaned.
 When using filter starters, medicines or pond water treatments, leave the UVC pre-clari-
fier switched off for at least 36 hours so as not to impair their efficacy.

On delivery, the unit is turned off. OF is indicated on the display.
 In new pond installations, wait at least 36 hours after set-up to start UV irradiation to en-
sure that a stable pond biology can develop as quickly as possible.

 Switch on the pump.
 Check all connections for leaks.
 Connect the unit to the power supply.

 Select the operating mode.
– A garden pond is subject to a number of different influencing factors that encourage algae
growth (e.g. direct sunlight, nutrient contamination, natural planting). Therefore the suita-
ble Eco mode can only be individually determined.
– Observe the information regarding the selection of a suitable operating mode. (→ Selecting
the operating mode)
