Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
− Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
− Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
Adhere to the safety information given above! Check and clean the water outlet into the pond at regular intervals. We
recommend to clean the foam filters at regular intervals. In the event of cloudy or dirty water emerging or the flow
volume decreasing, carry out quick cleaning first. Should this prove insufficient, clean the entire unit. Remove hose
from the filter outlet by turning off the union nut and fit a dirt draining hose.
Quick cleaning (D)
Switch filter pump on again, vigorously pull the cleaning handle and perform a pumping action several times. In this
manner, the foam filters are mechanically cleaned until the draining water is clear.
Full cleaning (E)
If necessary, wash out or replace the filters. Do not use chemical cleaning agents. Switch off the filter pump (C4),
remove all hoses by turning off the union nuts, open the closing clamps of the filter container (E1), lift off the cover
including the foam filter package (E2) and place on a clean support head down, so that the foam filters including the
press ring point upward. Unscrew the pressure ring from the pulling rod by undoing the nut, remove foam filters, and
clean under running water by vigorously pressing together. Jet clean the bioballs, lava stones, container, cover with
meshed tube and press ring (E3). Push on foam filters such that the pulling rod rests in the recess of the foam filters.
Fit the pressing ring with the rod guidance pointing down, and screw fit to the pulling rod using the nut. Ensure that the
meshed tube fits completely in the ring diameter. Remove cover sealing ring from the container and check for damage,
clean or replace, and fit on the top container edge, press cover including the foam filter package onto the container,
engage closing clamps (E4). Fit the hose to the filter inlet, start up filter pump (C1), rinse the pressure filter, until the
emerging water is clear. Switch off filter pump (C4), remove dirt draining hose, screw on drain hose again, restart the
filter pump first (C1), then connect the power plug of the UVC pre-clarifying unit (C2).
Clean the quartz tube of the UVC pre-clarifying unit (F)
Disconnect the power plug of the UVC pre-clarifying unit (C3) and of the filter pump (C4) and protect from unintentional
switching on again. Remove the cover for the UVC pre-clarifying unit. Turn the UVC pre-clarifying unit counter-
clockwise against the stop (baionet closure), and carefully pull out of the filter cover (F1) including the O ring, then
unscrew clamping screw counter-clockwise, remove the quartz glass including the O ring to the front (F2) by perform-
ing a slight turning movement, remove O ring from the quartz glass, clean and check for damage. Clean the quartz
glass outer face with a moist cloth and check for damage.
Replacing the UVC lamp (F3)
Change the UVC lamp after approx. 6000 operating hours. Pull out and replace the UVC lamp.
Important! Only use lamps the designation and rating of which match the information on the type plate.
Check components for damage and replace, if necessary. Refit the O ring and insert the quartz glass in the unit head
against the stop. Press the O ring into the gap between unit head and quartz glass. Screw in the clamping screw
clockwise and manually tighten (F4). Check the O ring at the unit head for damage, ensure that the O ring is seated
against the recess at the unit head (F5).
Exert light pressure while carefully pushing the UVC pre-clarifying unit into the filter cover. Ensure that the tenons at
the housing engage in the grooves of the bayonet closure. Turn the unit head clockwise against the stop while applying
slight pressure. Note: Route the connection cables at the housing through the cable opening directly to the outside, do
not pinch the connection cable!
Refit the cover for the UVC pre-clarifying unit. Restart the filter pump first (C1), then connect the power plug of the UVC
pre-clarifying unit (C2). The UVC lamp only lights up after the complete re-assembly of the pressure filter. Check the
pressure filter container and all connections for leaks.
Cleaning the filter pump (G)
Take pump out of the water, unscrew the stepped hose connection including the 12 x 4 mm O ring from the connection
thread (G1), actuate the engagement hook of the filter housing (G2), open the filter housing and remove the pump
(G4). Turn off the pump housing, remove the impeller (G5). Clean the pump housing, the impeller and the filter housing
(G3) using clear water and a brush. After cleaning, fit the unit in the reverse order (G6-G7).
