Prepare both fi lter chambers for setting-up
1. Insert the partition wall (Fig. 6)
for the FiltraClear 4500 (1) : into the central guide
for the FiltraClear 8000 (2) : into the right and left guides
2. Fit the fi lter media (included) (Fig. 7)
FiltraClear 4500 : in chambers 1 and 2
FiltraClear 8000 : in chambers 1, 2 and 3
3. Screw the ballvalves (for dirt drainage) onto fi lter chamber 1 (Fig. 5)
Push the enclosed 40 mm hose piece onto the hoze nozzle and secure the waste connection with the enclosed 38-42mm hose clamp (Fig. 9).
Install the supplied UVC device in the fi lter lid:
1. Detach the small cover from the fi lter lid by releasing the click-retainers on the underside of the lid (see the arrow markings (Fig. 2)
2. Prepare the UVC device in accordance with the instruction manual for setting-up.
3. Now fi t the UVC device into the large fi lter lid, lay the electrical cable into the provided recess and screw the connection unit in tightly (Fig. 3)
4. Fit the small cover back onto the fi lter lid, retaining in place with the click-retainers (Fig. 5)
5. Place the fi lter next to or near your pond so that it can still be easily accessed when you later have to maintain the fi lter. To obtain maximum power, the pond fi lter must be put in a
place that is in the shade or is partly shaded during the day. Ensure that the pond fi lter is set horizontally and slightly raised on a hard surface, so that both ballvalves are easy to
access.
Now prepare the fi lter pump for connecting to the supply connection (UVC) on the FiltraClear. Follow the pump's instructions for use when doing this.
Connect the pump and pond fi lter using the pond hose that has been cut to the required length. Use the relevant hose nozzles for this. Universal hose nozzles should be shortened
appropriately. Now place the fi lter pump in the pond. Follow the instructions on minimum water depth and place the pump on solid ground free of mud and sand.
Before fi rst operating the FiltraClear Pond Filter System, check once again that Closing lid and supply connections of the fi lter are properly screwed on, the ballvalve for dirt drainage is
closed, the hose connections for fi lter supply and fi lter waste are sound, you have read and followed the instructions for use of the fi lter pump and UVC device.
You can then bring the FiltraClear Pond Filter System into operation in the following sequence:
1. Always switch the pump on fi rst and check whether water fl ows evenly through the UVC device and the FiltraClear Pond Filter.
2. Check the entire pond fi lter system again for leaks. We recommend sealing leaky hose connections with suitable hose clips or standard tefl on tape.
3. Only then switch on the UVC device (if there is one) and check the operation of the UV lamp by visual inspection safely using the device's inspection window (blue light).
Note: during the period of bacteria development in the fi lter chambers (around 6-8 weeks from commissioning) the UVC device should not be switched on again.
4. It is important that your FiltraClear Pond Filter is in uninterrupted operation. Only for maintenance and during the winter period should the system be completely switched off .
5. If the pond fi lter is to be taken out of operation, always switch the UVC device off fi rst. Only then may the pump be switched off and the water drained from the pond fi lter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintenance and Cleaning
• • If pump performance falls off , that could mean the pump interior is dirty and has to be cleaned. Please clean the pump in accordance with the instructions. If pump performance falls off , that could mean the pump interior is dirty and has to be cleaned. Please clean the pump in accordance with the instructions.
• If growth of fl oating algae in your pond visibly increases again, the cause may be a decrease in performance of the UVC device, caused by deposits on the quarz tube and/or a
decrease of the radiation intensity of the UVC lamp. In this case, the UVC lamp must be cleaned or the UVC lamp replaced. To do this, please proceed in accordance with the UVC
instructions.
• Depending on the level of pollution of the pond water it may be necessary - particularly in the fi rst few weeks after setting-up of the fi lter - to rinse out the dirt sediment from the
fi lter chambers using the ballvalve. You do not need to switch off the pond fi lter to do this.
