English
The following sections describe maintenance work necessary for optimum and fault-free operation.
Regular maintenance prolongs the service life and assures functionality of the through-flow filter over a
long period.
Contamination indicator (⌦H)
The through-flow filter has a contamination indicator. Check the contamination indicator approximately every 4
weeks. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Take off the filter container cover (⌦A).
2. Remove the prefilter tub from the filter container with the prefilter.
3. Check whether the water level is at 50% or 75%. If the level of contamination is 75%, the through-
flow filter must be cleaned.
For a correct indication of the degree of contamination, the pump must be switched on.
Cleaning
1. Remove the mains plugs of the pump and the UVC clarifier.
2. Take off the filter container cover (⌦A).
3. Remove all filters from the housing (⌦G).
4. Clean all filters under cold, running water.
5. Clean the inside of the filter container with a water jet.
6. Put the filters back in reverse order and close the filter container (⌦G).
Replacing the filter foams
Recommended maintenance
After every second or third cleaning, the filter foams must be replaced. In order to ensure the bacterio-
logical functioning of the filter, only two foams at a time may be replaced at delayed intervals.
1. Turn the receptacle ① of the filter foam ② to the right (⌦I➊).
2. Pull the filter foam downwards, and out of the filter insert (⌦I➋).
3. Remove the filter foam from the receptacle.
4. Fit the new filter foam onto the receptacle.
5. Install the filter foam again in reverse order.
