LONGER PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN CLEANING
Regular cleaning of the Eazy is essential to maintain your pond at its best. Build up of detritus
in any pond filter can harbour pathogens, and other pollutants which may harm your fish.
At times, you may want to leave your filter for longer than you would normally want between
cleaning, perhaps if you go on holiday. In these instances, your Nexus 220 incorporates
a manual by-pass, which will prevent the biological stage from emptying, and therefore
potentially starving your pump of water, should your Eazy become full of debris. The filter
by-pass should be turned 90 degrees, as per Figures 17.1 to 17.3, when you need to leave
your filter for longer periods of time such as holidays etc. This will allow the water to bypass
the Eazy should it become blocked. On return from your holidays - turn the bypass back to
12 o’clock, see Figure 17.1. Normally we would not recommend leaving the filter uncleaned
more than 2 - 3 weeks. The filter can be left longer if absolutely necessary but this would not
be best practice.
