6. Maintenance and care

Attention! Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical devices
immersed in the pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet
Attention! The power cord of this device cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the UVC emitter
contained in the filter, including the ballast, is unusable and must be properly disposed of. Repair is not
possible because the connecting lines are permanently cast.
6.1. Cleaning of the UV-C lamp and replacing the tube
In case of stronger accumulation of alga and calcification, the correct function of the UV C unit should be
checked. UVC tube (2) has a limited period of effectiveness (approx. 4000 to 5000 hours) and should be
replaced at the latest after one season (March to October). Appropriate replacement tubes are available at
the service address specified below.
If the pond filter has been switched off for a longer period of time, ensure that the quartz glass cylinder that
encloses the UVC tube is clean.
If the filter has not been operated for a longer period of time, under some circumstances it may be necessary
to replace the sealing rings (particularly for the UVC emitter).
Cleaning of the UV-C lamp
1. Disconnect the UVC lamp from the mains power and safeguard it from being switched on unintentionally
2. Comply with the safety measures.
3. Allow the water to completely run out of the unit.
4. Carefully take the lamp socket (1) out of the housing (5) and replace the UVC tube (2) if needed.
Cleaning of the quartz glass cylinder
1. After disassembling the lamp socket (1) and UV-C tube (2) take carefully the Quartz glass (3) out of the
