The Hozelock Cyprio EasyClear™
Clearwater and fountain pump is
designed for submersible use in
outdoor ponds. It is an integrated unit
that provides Mechanical & Biological
Filtration with an Ultra Violet Clarifier
& Fountain.
ATTENTION
PRE-INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK.
Before placing the filter into the pond,
the Quartz Tube of the ultra violet
filter needs to be checked for any
transit damage (Refer to section 4.1).
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT.
To help ensure your EasyClear's long
life and to prevent damage, it is fitted
with automatic thermal overload
protection on the pump. This switches
the pump off if it overheats. If this
occurs, switch off the power at the
mains supply to the unit. Check for the
cause (usually it will be debris blocking
the inlet of the pump or obstructing
the impeller). Remove the obstruction
and wait 15 minutes for the unit to
cool down and automatically reset.
Then switch it on again.
The UVC lamp will still operate if the
automatic thermal overload protection
is activated.
NOTE: YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE UNIT WILL
RESET.
UV Caution - Exposure to Ultra Violet
(UV) radiation can be dangerous and
cause damage to eyes and skin. Under
no circumstances should any attempt be
made to gain access to the lamp when
the unit is switched on. When switched
on, the lamp can be checked for
operation by looking for a bluish glow
from the ball joint outlet (Fig 2-D).
Pond size
The EasyClear™ can maintain ponds of
up to 2000 litres. However, for best
results, certain conditions may need to
be taken into account. Ponds that are
heavily stocked with fish, or less than
0.5 metres (1'8" feet) deep, or situated
in warm climates or exposed to direct
sunlight for long periods of time will
lead to excessive algae growth and fish
activity. This results in greater demands
on the filtration system. The pond
sizing chart at the end of these
EasyClear
instructions give guidlines on
recommended pond sizes, relating to
these conditions.
Periods of Operation
Keep the filter working 24 hours a day.
Ideally it should run all year round, but
at least throughout the fish feeding
season, ( ie until the water
temperature falls below 10°C and the
fish stop feeding). In winter, operating
the unit will maintain a basic level of
useful bacteria in the Biological Filter,
and will help prevent the pond icing
over. However, the unit must not be
allowed to freeze. If you switch the
unit off for winter, wash the unit
thoroughly before resuming filtration
in the spring (see 'Winter Storage',
9.0). Never feed your fish when the
unit is not in use.
Maturation
Biological maturation means that the
filter has built up enough nitrifying
bacteria in the Biological Filter to
convert harmful fish waste and other
organic waste (ie Ammonia, Nitrite)
into relatively harmless Nitrate. The
process normally takes 6-8 weeks, but
depends on many factors such as water
temperature, feeding rate and stocking
density.
1.0 IMPORTANT
1.1 WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG OR
DISCONNECT ALL APPLIANCES IN THE
POND FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING YOUR
HANDS IN THE WATER WHILST
EQUIPMENT IS BEING INSTALLED,
REPAIRED, MAINTAINED OR
HANDLED.
1.2 Do not use the supply cable to lift the
unit, as this may cause damage. We
recommend fitting a lifting cord to
the hook feature on the base, when
the filter is installed in deep water.
(Fig 2-I).
1.3 Do not operate or leave the unit in
freezing conditions.
1.4 Do not allow the unit to run dry. The
water level should be above the UVC
indicator at the ball joint (Fig 3-K).
1.5 Check that the voltage marked on
the unit corresponds to the mains
supply.
1.6 A 10mA OR 30mA RESIDUAL
CURRENT DEVICE (RCD) MUST BE
FITTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.
1.7 DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT
WITHOUT THE OUTER CAGE
ATTACHED. USING THE UNIT
WITHOUT THE OUTER CAGE MAY
INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
TM
1.8 The pump does not use oil or grease
for lubrication and can be used safely
in ponds containing fish or plants.
The motor consists of a sealed stator
and water cooled permanent magnet
rotor. All electrical components are
isolated from the water.
2.0 WARNING: SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
2.1 The pump is supplied with 10m of 3
core electric cable which is
permanently connected and sealed
to the pump. The supply cable
cannot be replaced. If the cable is
damaged, the unit should be
discarded. The plug supplied with
this product is not waterproof and
must be housed in a dry, waterproof
enclosure.
The installation must conform to the
regulations of the local electricity
authority which could include the use
of plastic or metal conduit to protect
the cable.
2.2 THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
AND IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE
CONNECTIONS ARE MADE USING
THE FOLLOWING CODE;
Brown - Live
Blue - Neutral
Green/Yellow -
Earth
The BROWN lead should be
connected to the LIVE terminal which
may be marked with an 'L' or
coloured brown or red. The BLUE
lead should be connected to the
NEUTRAL terminal which may be
marked with an 'N' or coloured blue
or black. The GREEN/YELLOW lead
should be connected to the EARTH
terminal which may be marked with
an 'E' or coloured green or
green/yellow.
2.3 If an extension cable is required, this
should be connected to the end of
the unit cable using a weatherproof
connector. The joint must be
positioned in a suitable
weatherproof housing. The extension
cable should be of 3 core 0.75mm
Polychloroprene rubber insulated
cable (ref: HO5 RN-F) and
permanently wired to the mains
supply with a 3 or 5 Amp fuse.
2.4 The unit cable (and extension cable)
should be positioned and adequately
protected against damage especially
where contact with gardening
equipment (lawn mowers, forks etc.)
children and domestic animals may
occur.
