This document outlines the operation and maintenance of the SUNSUN Pressure Filter CPF Series, designed to ensure clear and healthy water in garden ponds. The filter system combines mechanical, biological, and UVC water treatment to effectively remove dirt particles, stimulate beneficial microorganisms, and destroy algae and germs.
The SUNSUN Pressure Filter CPF Series operates in three distinct phases to clarify pond water. The first stage is mechanical, where visible dirt particles are removed by a three-layer filter foam, arranged from coarse to fine. Following this, the second stage is biological, utilizing bio-balls (depending on the model) to stimulate the settling of bio-organisms. These organisms are crucial for removing organic components from the pond water. The third stage involves UVC water treatment, where UV light destroys swimming algae and germs, resulting in healthy water.
Water is pumped through the UVC device, where it flows past the UV lamp and is exposed to UVC radiation. This process ensures that bacteria, germs, and floating algae are destroyed, and the water is clarified. For optimal results, the device should be operated continuously for 24 hours during frost-free seasons.
The filter system is designed to be waterproof, even under high pressure, and can deliver water up to 3 meters in height, depending on the connected pump's output. It also features a built-in UVC unit and a dirt indicator for easy monitoring.
The device is intended for use in standing water bodies, garden ponds, or swimming ponds, provided a fault current protection switch with a triggering nominal current up to 30 mA is used. It is not suitable for use in swimming pools, paddling pools, or other water bodies where people or animals are present during operation.
Installation requires placing the UVC filter on a safe and stable surface, at least 2 meters from the pond edge, to prevent water from reaching it. The UV lamp must not be operated underwater. The power supply to the UVC filters should only be turned on after water circulation has been established. All component parts must be installed before turning on the power. If the quartz glass tube or the upper part of the UVC filter is damaged, the pond pressure filter cannot be used. The device must not be used if people are in the pond water.
The electrical connection is made via a 230 V ~ 50 Hz electric safety socket with at least 10 A fuse protection. The temperature of the conveyed liquid should not exceed +35 °C in permanent operation. The device is not to be used for flammable, gassing, or explosive fluids, or for motor fuels, cleaning agents, or other chemical products.
When connecting the hoses, coupling rings and flat gaskets should be used on the water inlet and outflow connections. The pump is connected to the hose tail with an arrow pointing towards the filter, using a hose diameter matching the pump outlet. Unnecessary hose steps should be sawn off. The outflow hose, with an arrow pointing away from the filter, connects to the pond. Hose clamps should be used to prevent loosening.
For models CPF-180/CPF-250, the function switch allows selection between "Filter" and "Clean" positions. In "Filter" mode, water is cleaned and discharged back into the pond. In "Clean" mode, the cleaning mechanism is activated by pressing down the setting switch, squeezing the sponges, and discharging dirty water via the watering connection for garden use.
For models CPF-2500/CPF-5000/CPF-10000/CPF-15000/CPF-20000/CPF-30000, a fast-cleaning function is available, activated by turning a crank handle until the filter sponges are sufficiently cleaned. These models also feature a stepped hose tail with an integrated ball valve to close the cleaning connection.
A flow indicator (for CPF-180/CPF-250) or turbidimeter (for CPF-280/CPF-500) changes from green to yellow to indicate when the sponge needs cleaning.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the effective and efficient operation of the filter. The filter system should remain switched on for 24 hours a day. The filter sponges need to be cleaned regularly. For models with a cleaning crank, the sponges can be cleaned by turning the handle.
The UV lamp has an approximate operating life of 8000 hours, corresponding to one season (March to November), and should be replaced at the beginning of each season. To change the UV lamp, the pump must be disconnected, and the screws of the UV unit released from the filter lid. The UV lamp should be carefully removed after cooling and drying. The quartz glass tube, which houses the light bulb, must be cleaned of lime deposits using appropriate agents like citric acid, then rinsed thoroughly. All parts are then reassembled in reverse order.
Before every commissioning, seals and connections must be checked for correct fitting. After any work requiring lid removal, ensure sealing rings are correctly fitted, and the clamp ring is secured.
The filter should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. During frosty weather, the device must be completely emptied, removed, and stored in a dry, frost-free place.
The filter materials, light tubes, quartz sleeves, and seals are considered wear parts and are typically available as spare parts.
For all maintenance work, the UVC unit must be disconnected from the power supply. The UVC lamp should never be tampered with while running, nor should the UVC unit be carried by its cable. The filter can only be operated if the UVC unit is fully assembled. The UVC unit must always be placed outside the pond, not in the water.
