•
Switch on the pump to clean the filter, starting the cleaning process.
•
Further turn the crank handle to assist in cleaning the filter sponges
•
Operate the filter in this position until clear water comes out of the drain hose.
•
After the filter has been completely cleaned, switch the pump off again, turn the setting knob from
"Clean" to "Filter", fit the drain hose to the connection provided on the filter (arrow pointing away from the
filter, fish pictured) and switch the pump and UVC lamp on again.
•
The filter now cleans your pond again at full power.
In addition, the filter must be completely cleaned at least twice a year.
•
Switch off the pump and UVC clarifier and open the clamps.
•
Remove the cover and remove the filter elements from the tank
•
Wash out the inside of the tank.
•
Clean the bioballs (only TFP 10000 UV 11, TFP 15000 UV 13) and sponges in a tub with water from the
pond (do not use tap water). Replace the sponges if they are damaged.
•
Do not use solvents or cleaning agents of any kind to clean the filter and filter media. Only use pond
water.
•
The UVC clarifier should always be cleaned during these thorough cleans.
6.2. Functional test of the UVC lamp
It is easy to check that the UV tube is working properly: there is a small hole in the filter cap, through this
hole a bluish shimmer must be visible inside if the UVC tube is intact. If this is not the case, the tube is faulty.
Please note that the tube only works when completely installed and cannot - due to a built-in safety
mechanism - be tested outside the unit.
6.3. Cleaning the UVC lamp
If greater algae growth and/or limescale deposits are noticed, the correct operation of the UVC fixture must
be checked. The UVC tube has a limited period of effectiveness (approx. 4000 hours) and should be
replaced at the latest after one season (March to October). Appropriate replacement tubes are available at
the service address specified below.
If the pond filter has been switched off for a longer period of time, ensure that the quartz glass piston that
encloses the UVC tube is clean.
If the filter has not been operated for a longer period of time, under some circumstances it may be necessary
to replace the sealing rings (particularly for the UVC clarifier). (The following numbers refer to Fig. 6)
TFP 5000 UV 9:
•
Disconnect the UVC clarifier and pump from the power supply and secure them against being switched
on again.
•
Please observe the above safety measures
•
Remove the three screws from the top UVC cover on the filter cover.
•
Disassemble the UVC cover after removing the screws.
•
Loosen the UVC socket with ballast unit by turning it slightly anti-clockwise (approx. 30°).
•
Remove the lamp socket, taking care not to lose the O-ring on the quartz piston seat. Do not pull on the
power cord in the process.
•
Then carefully pull on the transparent seat of the quartz glass piston to remove it. Take care not to
damage the O-ring.
•
Carefully clean the quartz glass piston (5) from the outside and remove any limescale deposits with a
suitable solvent. Rinse off thoroughly before installation.
