5. Placing in service

Avoid when tightening screw excessive force that may cause damage. Please observe the illustrations, too,
which are contained as an attachment at the end of the present operating instructions. The numeric and
other details included in brackets below refer to these illustrations.
Find the most suitable place to set up the filter. Make sure that it is placed at a minimum distance of 2 m
from the waters edge.
The filter can be placed in the ground up to the height of the clamps.
Warning: The filter must always be installed so that the difference in height between the water outlet at the
filter and the water surface does not exceed 1 m.
Do not use excessive force that can cause damage when tightening threaded unions.
See the illustrations at the end of these use instructions. The numbers and other information cited below in
parentheses are based on these illustrations.
5.1. Assembly
Check the complete delivery content by removing all materials from the package. The UVC filter is pre-
assembled. Verify complete and solid assembly by checking the threaded ring of the UVC emitter frame (1)
for firm seat. Now fit the transparent hose connection (6) to the inlet (8) and the black connection (10) to the
outlet (9) of the UVC emitter by screwing the corresponding hose nozzle (6 + 10) firmly onto the internal seal
by hand.
UV-C should be fixed on a base with a weight of at least 18 kg. Secure the lamp in a flood-proof location
using the supplied clamping brackets. Connect the UV-C lamp to your filter system (hoses, pump, filter, ...)
Observe the flow direction of the lamp [inlet (8) / outlet (9)]. Only connect pumps that do not exceed the
maximum flow rate and the maximum pressure specified in the technical data.
The filter is supplied with all necessary accessories for commissioning.
TFP 5000: Connect via the hose of the pump to the hose connection of the filter inlet (IN). Connect the drain
hose to the hose connection of the filter outlet (OUT). See Figure 1 + 2
Fig 1
TFP 10000 and TFP 15000: Use the hose to connect the pump to the transparent hose connection of the
filter inlet (arrow to filter, see Figure 3). Also connect the drain hose to the black hose connection of the filter
outlet (arrow pointing away from the filter, fish pictured, see Figure 4).

The filter is now ready for use. Switch on the pump and UVC lamp by plugging in the appropriate mains
cable.
For this filter system we recommend continuous operation (24 hours a day), in the season months March to
October.
Note: - The biological filtration develops naturally, it takes 5-6 weeks for it to take full effect. To accelerate
settlement of bacteria, appropriate bacteria can be purchased in any pond shop.
Warning! The function of the filter system must be checked at regular intervals!
Initially, the filter system should be checked at least once a day. Leaves, grass, and animal hair, for example
can quickly clog the filter.
