union nuts.
The connections are designed to prevent misconnection.
First flood the container with water, then connect the control system to the mains voltage/power
supply.
Installation: Pump fed system
Install the control system at least 2 m away from the pond.

Protect the control system from direct sunlight.
►
The control system is splash-proof and may be exposed to rain.

Suspended installation of the control system: Either on the mount on the container wall of the Drum
►
Filter Module or using the threaded hooks in another position.
Installation: Gravity fed system

Connecting an external aerator pump
Connect the aerator rods in the container to an external aerator pump.
►
OASE recommends: OASE AquaOxy 2000 pond aerator.
How to proceed:
P
1. Connect the hose from the external aerator pump to the air connection and fit the air connection onto
the container.
For thinner 4 mm air hoses, use the 4/9 mm adapter and secure the connection with a cable
binder if necessary.
Ensure that the aeration is not too high during the filter start-up phase. Excessive turbulence delays the
initial colonisation of micro-organisms. We recommend approx. 1000 l/h.
