Cleaning – Gravity
Fed Procedure Fig. 19 Gravity
1 Stop the circulation pump.
2 Wait a short period of time to allow the
water levels within the Pod to stabilise.
3 Insert the cleaning pipe into the plastic
return pipe D. This will prevent waste
going back to the pond
4 Isolate the pond from the pod by
closing the valve on the inlet line.
5 Close the slide valve G which you have
fitted after your circulating pump.
6 Turn on your air pump and open the air
valve on the Pod. In a few seconds the K1
media will start to ‘agitate’ and circulate, thereby self cleaning.
7 After the K1 has been aerated for a minimum of two minutes, open valve F to completely
drain the Pod.
8 When drained close valve F and open your inlet valve to refill the Pod.
9 Allow the K1 to agitate again for a minimum of two minutes.
10 Open valve F to drain again. If the water in the Pod is still not 100% clean, repeat the
process.
11 Once the K1 is clean, turn off your air pump or re-divert it and close the air valve on the
Pod
12 Remove the cleaning pipe
13 Close valve F
14 Open your inlet valve to refill the pod from the pond and start you circulation pump
Please note that normally 2 cleaning cycles will be needed to completely clean the K1. On a
dirty pond, maybe even 3 will be needed. When doing more than one cleaning cycle, there
is no need to remove the cleaning pipe and switch the air pump off, just leave it running until
the final clean when it is switched off and the pipe removed.
