2.A PREPARING THE FILTER FOR USE IN THE POND
The filter must not run dry, as this may cause damage to the device.
The filter is equipped with filter material, a UV-C device to control algae and a pump for circulation.
If desired, a drain hose can be fitted to the filter to pump treated water to a water ornament or a small
waterfall. It is also possible to mount a fountain head, which is included in the scope of delivery.
Attach the largest size hose to the hose connector provided if a drain hose is fitted, this will reduce the
capacity less.
The power cable should always be over the bottom, tension-free in the water.
Never operate the pump outside water! The motor bearings are lubricated by water. Running dry can
cause irreparable damage to the pump and the built-in UV-C device.
Once the set is properly positioned in the water, the filter can be started by plugging in socket.
3. MAINTENANCE (OVERALL)
Observe safety regulations.
The pump is low-maintenance, but not maintenance-free!
Unplug the set before removing it from the water!
To extend the life of the set and ensure trouble-free operation, we recommend regular maintenance
and cleaning. With few actions, any person can perform all maintenance work without any problems.
Never operate the pump outside the water, as this may lead to irreparable
damage.

4.A CLEANING OF THE FILTER SPONGE AND FILTER MATERIAL
Cleaning of the filter sponge and filter material depends on the degree of soiling. If the capacity de-
creases, cleaning is necessary, check this with some regularity in the first months after filter installa-
tion.
1. Unscrew the fitted fountain or hose connector (2) from the filter, open the clips (4) , then the
filter cover (3) can be taken off the housing (10).
2. Filter sponge (5) and filter boxes (8) clean under running water, never use detergents.
4.B DISMANTLING AND CLEANING THE UV-C DEVICE
Pond water flows past the quartz glass in the housing, causing (scale) deposits on the glass after some
time. UV-C light will therefore not reach the flowing water as well, reducing its effect. Periodically clean
the quartz glass together with the filter material.
