CLEANING OF THE FILTER SPONGES WITH CLEANING LEVER
GPF-2500-5000-10000-15000-20000-30000
• The filter sponges are cleaned using the cleaning handle. The dirt is pressed out of the filter by the rotation.
• Please observe the following instructions to ensure that the water is always optimally cleaned:
• The filter system must remain switched on for 24 hours a day.
• The UV-C lamp should be replaced after 8000 hours of operation to ensure optimal effectiveness. The filter system
should be cleaned regularly.
• The pressure filters are supplied complete with a built-in UV-C unit. The UV-C bulbs have approximately 8000 active burning
hours, which corresponds to the seasonal use from March to November. The UV-C bulbs can be easily replaced by unscrew-
ing the screws in the spherical part of the cover.
• We recommend replacing the UV-C lamp with a new one at the beginning of the season.
• The UV-C clarifies green water and fights germs. The pressure filters have a separate chamber, so that the UV-C rays do not
come into contact with the filter medium. This means that the micro-organisms in the filter material are not damaged.
• There are 3 connections on the filter lid with a hose nozzle:
• The pump is connected to the first Hose tail. Use a tube diameter equal to the diameter of the pump outlet. Cut off the
diameter of the hose tail that is not needed.
• The hose tail in the middle of the cover is the outlet to the pond. Connect a suitable hose to the largest diameter of the
outlet and cut off the other diameters. Use hose clamps to prevent the hoses from coming loose.
• Never operate the filter with the integrated UV-C with a water pressure greater than 0,2 bar! The height difference between
the filter cover and the pressure-free outlet of the supply pipe may not exceed 2 m. The maximum head of the pump may
not exceed 0.5 bar. Only use the filter with hoses that can withstand a pressure of at least bar0,2, max. the pressure of the
pump.
• Make sure that the drain in the pond is in a clean place. If the drain is blocked, this can lead to increased pressure. This in
turn can lead to a leak in the filter and thus to the complete draining of the pond. When operating the filter in the "filter"
position, please ensure that all seals are in place to prevent the pond from emptying.
• The sealing cap also functions as a safety measure in "Clean" mode. Make sure that the filter is always in the "Fil-
• ter" position works as long as the pump is running. The filter may only be set to "Clean" when the filter sponges are being
cleaned.
• Before switching on the filter, check that all hoses and seals are correctly in place. Never filter liquids other than water.
• In case of frost, the filter must be removed. Do not expose the filter to direct sunlight.
• After the filter has been placed in the correct position and the pump has been connected, the built-in UV-C unit can be
switched on.
