Model EBF
Installation
Instruction manual EBF / EBF ECO page 9 of 19
11/2014
Every intake point to the filter shall be fitted with slide or ball valves.
For the G-Version or high pumping outputs, the water shall be distributed
in several inflow pipe sockets so that it can reach the filter quietly.
The Smartpond® continuous belt filters are delivered together with
D 110mm tank screws for the return flow. Further a drill hole (or even a
second one depending on the model) is present for screw joints with D
75mm. The PVC screw joint for this is not provided in the delivery
package.
In the PVC tank screws, short pipe fittings shall be bonded onto so that
pipes having a sealing ring can easily be pushed onto. Like this
disassembly of the inlets is assured without having to saw off any pipes.
It shall be assured in particular that the water feedback system to the
pond is large enough to prevent build-up of backwater in the filter.
In order to maintain a certain water level in the bio-stage for biological
organisms, the bio-stage outlets are turned upwards with a 90° elbow,
and with a T-joint, the pond is re-conected. The height relations of the T-
joint determine the water level in the bio-stage (see picture).
T-Drain pipe to the pond
(not included in the delivery
package)
The height from the
ground to centre of the T-
drain pipe shall be set to
approx. 40–45 cm (30-35cm
for EBF ECO).
In the filter, an overflow pipe shall also be installed with a height of up to
65 cm above ground level. This serves as overflow prevention in case if
the filter basket in the bio-stage is clogged with sludge. The safety
opening at the top shall be not covered with any filter basket or the like
but must rather remain completely open.
