• Activate the system with the switch (w) on the bottom of the control box. The pond pump and UVC are now
switched on and the water is pumped around.
• Now manually check the operation of the electro motor and rinse pump (cleaning mode). Press and hold the push
button (v) on the control box for 10 seconds. The drum (o) starts rotating and the spraying system (n) sprays the
screen clean with high pressure. The rinse water and dirt are collected in the drain (c).
Fig. F The floater has three different switching positions. The highest position is the normal Filtration Mode (pond
pump and UVC are switched on) the middle position is the Cleaning Mode (pond pump, UVC and the electro motor
and rinse pump are switched on). The lowest position is the Safety mode (everything is switched off/ level
protection).
• This Cleaning Mode activates automatically every 20 to 30 minutes. As the screen becomes saturated, the water
level on the "clean side" of the drum decreases, causing the floater to activate the Cleaning mode. The drum
rotates and the screen is cleaned under high pressure. The water level then rises again, activating the Filtration
mode.
• NOTICE! In the beginning (after installation and start-up of the pond) the flushing operation will be shorter. As the
contamination with floating debris decreases, the time between flushes will increase.
• The time between flushes can be adjusted by changing the height of the floater. Unplug the control box when
adjusting the floater.
• Should the water level continue to drop, the floater automatically activates Safety mode. The pond pump, UVC,
rinse pump and electro motor are switched off.
• NOTICE! The screen is automatically rinsed with water from the filter, therefore the filter system requires little
maintenance. However, the water level of the pond must be replenished daily. This can be up to 100 litres per day,
depending on the number of rinses.
• The water flows via a passage into the second filter chamber (t), which can be used for biological filtration.
• Fill the second filter chamber with the Combi Drum Japanese Matting Cartridge (Art. N6050130) or Aqwise filter
media of your choice. Turn on the air pump enabling the operation of the biological filter.
• Place the cover (j) on the housing. When removing the cover, always disconnect the power supply!
Maintenance
• The drum filter requires monthly maintenance.
• Remove the plug/plugs from the mains before carrying out maintenance!
• Remove the cover from the housing.
• Turn the drum by hand and check the screen panel for wear and tear and any damage (see text: Replacing the
screen panel for more information).
• Check the drain channel and remove any dirt or blanket weed that may have accumulated.
• Check the separate user manual for maintenance of the UVC.
• Annually check the air stone (p) and replace the air stone if damaged or clogged.
• Japanese matting hardly requires any maintenance, cleaning bacteria develop and attach themselves in the mats
and ensure biological filtration. When rinsing clean you remove these useful bacteria which disrupts the biological
filtration.
• Aqwise floating bed filter media requires no maintenance, as it is self-cleaning.
• The filter partition (d) can be removed for maintenance, by sliding it upwards. After maintenance replace the filter
partition correctly with the gutter at the top.
