Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your pondXpert filter. Once your filter is connected you
can look forward to many years of healthy pond water.
Your filter works by connecting it to a solids-handling filter pump (we recommend either
the PXFP3000/4600 pump for the PXBF06000 and the PXFP6000/8000 for the PXBF14000) via
the stepped hosetail inlet via pondhose. The water flow then passes through the filter’s UV
unit, through the filter’s three filter chambers and finally back out into the pond via the
water outlet.
PondXpert filters are carefully inspected and tested to ensure both safety and operating
performance. However, failure to follow the instructions and warnings in the manual may
result in product damage and/or serious injury. Be sure to read and save this manual for
future reference.
General safety Instructions
Read and observe all of the instructions before installing, connecting and operating.
Make sure the filter is securely and correctly installed before switching on.
Always disconnect the UV when not in use and when carrying out maintenance.
Always disconnect all equipment in the pond before starting to handle, maintain, repair or
install any pond equipment.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
