6. Bitron 36/72 (Illustration 4)
Put one 48 x 4 O-ring (18) on each Bitron outlet. Attach the
Bitron 36/72 through the boreholes in the container and press
a 48 x 4 O-ring (18) against the container wall from the inside
for each attachment. Screw the inlet nozzle (3) on. See also the
instructions for the Bitron 36/72.
Installation
Place filter on a firm level base. If using a UVC lamp, leave a gap
of at least 2 m to the water. You might wish to do this in any
case, should you wish to add a Bitron later on.
Start-up
1. Connect pump in pond via a hose to the adapter on the filter.
• Cut adapter to right size to fit hose
• If necessary, briefly dip ends of hose in boiling water
before attaching
• Lay hose without twists and so that it cannot be stepped on
• Affix hose clips to ends of hose
2. Lay domestic DN 100 drainage pipes from the filter outlet to
the pond inlet with a gradient of at least 1%. If the pipes are
not UV-resistant, possibly cover them with earth.Extend the
wastewater outlet with DN 70 drainage pipes.
3. Switch on pump and test water flow.

Special guidelines:

•
The hose connections on the filter must be fitted with care.
•
The filter must never overflow (e.g. due to a clogged drain).
Danger of pond emptying.
•
The filter system is a biological system and requires a few
weeks after initial installation to become fully effective.
•
The filter should be in permanent operation and never run dry.
Maintenance and cleaning (Illustration 5)
Biotec filters are maintenance-free, however they should be
cleaned whenever necessary.
To drain off the wastewater, pull out the slide valve (19). This lets
the wastewater drain away freely. If necessary, some clean water
can be drained via the clear water outlet (14). This significantly
reduces the amount of dirty water.
