Inpond Filter
TROUBLESHOOTING
Filter leaks
• Check that the filter outlet nut and O ring have been correctly assembled
and that they are hand tight.
• PTFE tape may be needed to give a water tight seal and should be applied to
outlet hosetails.
• Always secure the filter outlet hose with a jubilee clip.
• Insure that the filter is installed on a flat and level base.
Cloudy/brown water
• The flow rate / pond turnover is to high or to low. Check that you have
correctly calculated the pond volume and that pump flow rate is within
limits.
• The filter is not being supplied with water 24 hours a day. Do not turn off
your pump. Continuous running is needed to maintain a clean
and healthy pond.
• The filter foam pads are insufficiently blocked to trap the fine waste. Treat
with Blagdon Clear Pond treatment.
• The water is extremely dirty, remove pond waste and leaves - carry out a
partial water change.
• Filter is incorrectly sized - refer to filter performance and specification
chart.
• The filter foams have not been positioned or replaced correctly,ensure that
the foams fit tightly within the filter chamber.
UVC leaks
• Check that the UVC O-ring have been correctly assembled and that it is
hand tight.
• PTFE tape may be needed to give a water tight seal and should be applied
to the outlet hosetail.
Inpond Pump
Problem
Low flow from pump
1. Follow routine cleaning procedure if no improvement.
2. Follow monthly cleaning procedure.
3. Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed
or kinked.
4. Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called
Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the
more wear on the pump.
5. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest
distance and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss
of flow and so increases pump flow rates.
Poor Fountain performance
• Reduced height.
• Jets blocked.
Clean flow adjuster and fountain
head. Wash under a tap or hose.
ond Pump Cleaner should be used
to remove lime scale build-up/waste
(see diagram) for improved results.
No flow from pump
1. Check power supply is on.
2. Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Follow low flow procedure as above.
If none of the above works contact Interpet (Blagdon) Consumer Advice
Department (See Faults problem procedure Page 20).

To clean, remove
head and rinse.
Or in hard water
areas, use Pond
Pump Cleaner.
