Function
Water is pumped into the filter under pressure using a pond pump, a vortex movement forces water through a filter foam
pack (mechanical filtration). At the bottom of the filter there are Bio-Balls which provide biological filtration. Useful
bacteria convert harmful substances (ammonia and nitrite) to non-pollutants (nitrate). The water then flows up past the
UV lamp. The UV lamp produces ultraviolet light with a wavelength of exactly 254 nm, at which wave length the
disinfecting capacity is optimal. The UV radiation combats floating algae without the use of chemicals and reduces
harmful bacteria and germs. The UV-C radiation does not affect the pH value of the pond water and is safe for fish and
plants. The UVC device ensures a clear pond within 14 days. The filtered water flows back into the pond via a hose. The
pressure filter has all the connections on the lid and can easily bridge any height differences, allowing it to be placed
below the pond water level. The pressure filter can be buried almost completely into the ground or concealed next to the
pond.
Installation
Locate the filter at least 2 metres away from the pond but easily accessible for maintenance.
• NOTICE! The filter can be partially buried next to the pond but ensure that the cover
and connections remain accessible.
• When siting the filter, allow for a maximum bridgeable height difference of 2 metres.
Fig. B Release the outer retaining clamp (b) by undoing the double hinged lock, setting it aside.
• Carefully remove the cover (c
housing (a) by pulling it upwards.
• Remove the complete filter foam pack (d) and the filter bowl (f) with Bio-Balls (g) from the filter housing and
rinse them with clean tap water.
• Place the assembly back into the filter housing in the correct order, checking that the O-ring (e) is in the correct
position in the rim of the filter housing.
Fig. C Carefully place the cover with the UVC back on the filter housing with the filter foam pack in the correct position.
There is a mark (FIX ) on the cover plate (d
vertically aligned to of each other when replacing. The white gear at the bottom of the cover fits precisely into the
white recess in the filter foam pack.
• Mount the three transparent hose connections (h) in the lid with gaskets on the inlet, outlet, and waste water
outlet. You can choose between ø32 mm, ø38 mm or ø50 mm hose connections. Tighten the union nuts securely.
• NOTICE! The hose connections on the inlet and outlet must be the same diameter.
• Connect the pump to the inlet of the filter using pond hose and hose clamps. The pump should (preferably) be
placed in the deepest point of the pond and able to provide a sufficient head of water.
• NOTICE! Be sure to keep the maximum pump capacity to 15,000 l/h to avoid any damage to the filter and/or any
leakage due to excessive pressure.
• Connect a pond hose with hose clamp to the outlet, so that the water flows back into the pond.
• Also connect a pond hose with hose clamp to the waste water drain.
• Ensure that the blue lever (j) is on FILTER.
• Switch on the pump and check for any leaks.
• NOTICE! Never block or restrict the outlet of the filter. The pressure in the filter may become too high, causing the
filter to leak or break.
• Check the working of the UVC via the UV indicator (i) in the cover.
