POND FILTER WITH INTEGRATED UVC UNIT
For freshwater use only
Read thoroughly prior to installation and operation
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety
precautions should be observed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Y
And all the important notices on the appliance before using this appliance. Failure
to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.
2. DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since
water is employed in the use of pond equipment. For each of the following
situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized
Laguna service facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. This is a weather-proof but NOT a submersible product. Do not
immerse the product in water! If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T
reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.
E
B. Prior to installing the unit, check that the quartz glass sleeve and the UV-C lamp
have not been damaged during transportation, as the UV lamp (B) and quartz
sleeve (C) are made of glass. Handle them with care. Do not handle UV lamp with
bare hands as this will impede its performance. Carefully examine the appliance
K
after installation. It should not be plugged if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance
immediately.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is
malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of
this appliance is a special cord: if it is damaged, it must be replaced by
an authorized Laguna service facility or similar qualified person in
order to avoid any hazard. Never cut the cord.
D. The UV lamp starter used in this product has a long life and it doesn't require
maintenance. If necessary, it must be replaced only by an authorized Laguna
service facility or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
L
3. Do not allow children to use this appliance. Children must be closely supervised at
all times near water. This appliance is not a toy.
4. CAUTION – NEVER LOOK INTO A UV LAMP WHEN SWITCHED ON.
Direct exposure to ultraviolet light can damage eyes and skin.
5. IMPORTANT – Always unplug or disconnect this and all appliances in
the pond from the electricity supply before placing hands in water,
before putting on or taking off parts and while this equipment is
being installed, maintained or handled and when not in use. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect. Never lift the appliance by the cord.
M
6. This is a Filter unit complete with integrated UV Sterilizer for
outdoor fresh water garden ponds. Do not use the appliance for any purpose
other than that for which it is intended.
• Do not use this appliance in swimming pools or other situations where people are
immersed.
• This product is designed to work with water not exceeding a temperature of 35°C
(95°F).
• Do not use this product with liquids other than water
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to temperatures close
N
to 0° C (32° F) or below. In freezing conditions, disconnect the power supply to the
filter and drain water from the filter canister. In winter, remove and store the appli-
ance in a sheltered place.
O
• Shelter the product also from direct sunlight. The materials have high stability to
sunlight but direct rays may overheat it and speed up insulator ageing.
• To avoid overheating, do not place objects on the filter.
• This product should not be placed where it can fall into the water. Do not install it
in an area where flooding can occur or where water can accumulate. It should be
P
placed at least 1 m/3.2 feet from the edge of the garden pond, in a dry and
protected place, with sufficient ventilation around it. Be sure that there is enough
room around it for maintenance operations.
8. IMPORTANT – The maximum operating pressure is 0.04 Mpa (0.4 Bar or
5.8 PSI). Do not connect power filter to the water mains.
Q
9. Do not attempt to open the lid clamp (O) and lift the lid when the pump and the
filter are in operation. The lid clamp latch features a safety metal insert to prevent
accidental opening.
10. IMPORTANT – Electrical connection must be in accordance with data on the
rating label. Do not connect power to filter unless filter is fully and correctly assem-
bled. Never use the product without water. The filter must always be fully filled
with water when operating.
11. If an extension cord is necessary, ensure connection is watertight and dust proof.
A cord with proper rating must be used. A cord rated for less amperes or watts
than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. The connection should be
carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
12. WARNING – Supply through a Residual Current Device (RCD or
Ground Fault Current Interrupter) with rated residual current not
exceeding 30 mA. The socket outlet to connect the cord should be
protected by a weather-proof enclosure and located minimum 2 m
from garden pond.
WARNING – Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize damage from lawn mow-
ers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Permanent installations to the main
power supply (hard wiring), must comply with local authority regulations, which
may stipulate the use of plastic or metal conduit to protect the cable.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOR USA AND CANADA ONLY.
WARNING
– Risk of electric shock – This appliance uses a 3-core cable and
must be earthed. It is supplied with a grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce
the risk of electric shock be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOR U.K.
IMPORTANT
– This product is supplied without plug and is designed to be
permanently wired to the mains supply; the connection must be made in a dry,
weatherproof enclosure through the use of a double pole switched spur which
complies to BS3676 fitted with a 3 amp fuse. The installation must conform to the
regulations of the Local Electricity Authority which could include the use of
plastic or metal conduit to protect the cable. A 30mA Residual Current Device
(RCD) must be fitted to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
– The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BROWN-UVE • BLUE-NEUTRAL • GREEN/YELLOW-EARTH
• The Brown lead should be connected to the plug terminal, which may be
marked with an 'L' or coloured brown or red.
• The Blue lead should be connected to the Neutral terminal, which may be
marked with an 'N' or coloured blue or black.
• The Green/Yellow lead should be connected to the Earth terminal which may
be marked with an 'E' or coloured green or yellow.
• The cord should be protected from abrasion, cuts or any other damage.
The socket must be positioned in a dry and protected place.

ornamental ponds with a temperature
from +4°C to 35°C (+39.2° to 95° F), with
or without fish. The purpose of mechanical
filtration is to trap and accumulate
debris and waste material coming from
the pond. The purpose of biological
filtration is to convert toxic by-products of
fish metabolism and other organic waste into
much less harmful substances. The purpose of
UV-C filtration is to inhibit single-celled algae
growth.
How Pressure-Flo Filters work
Pressure-Flo Filters are designed to provide three important water filtration
operations that are essential for keeping pond water clear and healthy: mechanical
