Important! Put the system out of operation if the min./max. values (A-3 and A-2) are exceeded, and especially
when fallen below. This means that the maximum permissible range of pond water level fluctuation is 100 mm.
Furthermore, take the following into account:
– the thickness of the slab accommodating the modules has to be adapted to the local ground situation
– ensure sufficient space for possible system extensions
– ensure sufficient room for movement to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work.
Secure the walls of the pit against ground soil settling (masonry, concrete) and provide a rain water drain. Place the filter
system (M 1/ M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) with a 30 mm gravity in flow direction on a stable and level ground (at least slabs,
concrete to be preferred). Due to the considerable volume, the weight of the filter modules in accordance with the
technical data has to be taken into consideration when selecting the base. For this operating mode, install a dry running
protection (commercial float switch) in the pump chamber M 1 which switches off the filter pump should the water level
drop too low due to soiled filter modules.
Pumped systems (B)
Prepare a pit of sufficient dimensions to accommodate the pump chamber M 1. For the dimensions/execution, take the
following into account:
– distance from the pond edge (B-1) which cannot be flooded and conforms with the regulations. It is not permitted to
install units operated with a rated voltage of 230 V in swimming ponds. Observe a minimum distance between units and
pond (e.g. in Germany 2 m, in Switzerland 2.5 m etc.)
– that the inlet sockets must be located below the pond water level. When in operation, the pond pump must always be
covered with at least 100 mm water. Danger of running dry and, as a result, damage to the filter pump!
– that the top edges of the pump chamber M 1 must be located above the pond water level, and that the maximum water
level in the container is 730 mm above the pit bottom (B-2). This is particularly important, otherwise the filter cannot
reach its maximum peformance, and, above all, because of the danger of fully emptying the pond!
Important! Put the system out of operation if these values are exceeded or, above all, fallen below.
Furthermore, take the following into account:
– the thickness of the slab accommodating the pump chamber M 1
– ensure sufficient room for movement to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work.
Secure the walls of the pit against ground soil settling (masonry, concrete) and provide a rain water drain. Place the pump
chamber M 1 and the filter system (M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) with a 30 mm gravity in flow direction on a stable and level ground
(at least slabs, concrete to be preferred). Due to the considerable volume, the weight of the filter modules in accordance
with the technical data has to be taken into consideration when selecting the base. Ensure the unrestricted access to the
modules to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work. When installing the filter system, ensure that the pond
inlet (or start of the water course or waterfall) is not located higher than the filter outlet.
Module installation
The filter modules are supplied pre-assembled. Only the connections for the inlet, outlet and dirt outlet must be made and
connection openings which are not required, properly closed.
Inlet installation on the first filter module (C)
– Principle of gravity: Connection of filter modules M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5 (Figure shows M 1, but applicable to all modules)
– Pumped systems: Connecting the pump chamber M 1
Fasten the slide to the inlet socket DN 100 using a commercial PVC adhesive. Set sealing ring DN 150 into the container
opening provided for this purpose and screw connect container and inlet socket from inside. Close filter modules
openings which are not required using the supplied plugs and sealing rings (D).
Installation of the outlet of the first filter module
– Principle of gravity (E): Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) provided for this
purpose and screw connect the outlet DN 150/1 and the container from inside. Push the O ring (H-1) on the outlet socket
up to the first recess (H-2).
– Pumped systems (F): Fasten the connection set at the pump chamber M 1 outlet. To avoid pressure loss, minimise the
length of the hose connection having a largest possible internal diameter without bends and well protected, then saw
off the stepped hose nozzle at the appropriate points for the individual hose. Heat the hoses in hot water, push or screw
onto the stepped hose nozzle and secure with a hose clip.
Installation of the inlet in the second filter module
– Principle of gravity (G): Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) provided for this
purpose and screw connect the outlet DN 150/2 and the container from inside. Close filter modules openings which are
not required using the supplied plugs (D).
– Pumped systems: Fasten a connection set (see F, optional) to one of the small container openings. Close filter modules
openings which are not required using the supplied plugs and sealing rings (D).
Installation of the outlet of the second and following filter modules (E)
Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) provided for this purpose and screw connect
the outlet DN 150/1 and the container from inside. Push the O ring onto the outlet socket up to the first recess.
Installation of the inlet in the following filter modules (G)
Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4/ M 5) provided for this purpose and screw connect
the outlet DN 150/2 and the container from inside. Close filter modules openings which are not required using the supplied
plugs and sealing rings (D).
