Maintenance and cleaning

W A R N I N G
Possible death or severe injury from hazardous electrical voltage!
• Prior to reaching into the water, isolate (switch off and disconnect) all units/devices used in the water.
• Isolate the device (disconnect from the power supply) before carrying out any work on it.
Note:
• Check and clean the water outlet into the pond at regular intervals.
• Clean the filters at regular intervals (e.g. every four weeks), however, at the latest when cloudy or dirty water from the
water outlet returns to the garden pond.
• Carry out quick cleaning first. Should this prove insufficient, clean the entire unit.
• A blocked filter could lead to leakages.
• Never use chemical cleaning agents.
Quick cleaning (D)
Remove hose from the filter outlet by turning off the union nut and fit a dirt draining hose.
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), re-
move all hoses by turning off the union nuts, open the closing clamps of the filter container (E1), lift off the cover includ-
ing 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).
