1 Operating Instruction for Stainless Steel Waterfalls COBRA / COBRA LED
• Set the water fl ow as follows before starting the waterfall:
Ball valve
Waterfall ornament
Water return pool
• You can now switch on the pump and LED-lighting (COBRA LED) and start your waterfall.
2.) Other pool edges
The installation on a pool edge made of another material is possible (e.g. plastic, concrete). The fastening material (dowels, screws) is not included in the delivery volume.
Garden pond
• Place the waterfall element at the location at the garden pond edge you selected.
• Ensure that the installation is carried out on solid ground with suffi cient space under the waterfall element for connecting and installing the hose.
• Use the base plate for marking the holes for the screws, hose and LED-lighting cable, if the waterfall element is to be installed on a stone or concrete plate.
• Then prepare the waterfall element for connection to the pump. Use the supplied accessories for this (hose, nipple and ball valve).
• You can place and align the waterfall element at the pond edge after this connecting work. Dowels and screws for fastening on a stone or concrete plate are not included in the
delivery volume.
• For COBRA LED: Check the LED-strip for correct fi t, install the lighting cable outside the garden pond and connect it with the safety transformer.
• Check the whole water circuit again for leaks. Leaking connections should be sealed with commercially available Tefl on-tape.
• You can then switch on the pump and LED-lighting (COBRA LED) and start your waterfall.
• Should the water outlet at the waterfall element be too strong, this can be regulated and adjusted by using the ball valve included in the delivery volume.
Replacing bulbs (COBRA LED)
Replacing bulbs (COBRA LED)
Please proceed as follows when replacing the LED-strip:
Remove the cable seal (rubber) at the bottom of the waterfall element.
Open the fastening clips on the left and right of the waterfall outlet. Remove the LED-strip and pull out the lighting cable.
Push a solid wire (approximately 1 m) upwards through the lower cable opening, hook the cable plug to this and then pull out the wire downward.
Then pull the cable, insert the LED-strip and close the clips on the left and right.
Feed the lighting cable into the cable seal and re-attach the rubber seal solidly.
Replacement of single defective LED-diodes is not possible. The LED-lighting concerned must be removed and replaced as one unit.
Cleaning
Cleaning
Stainless steel waterfall
Information: Stainless steel is rust-proof but not stain-proof. The surface of your waterfall needs, therefore, regular cleaning and care, exactly like your other household devices from
stainless steel, like, for instance, kitchen sinks and cooking pots. You will have fewer problems with corrosion in case of regular cleaning and care and your waterfall COBRA is more
corrosion resistant.
• Check the waterfall before installation to detect possible oxidation of the surface, possibly from metals or chemicals, with which the stainless steel waterfall may have come into
contract during installation.
• Start with weekly cleaning to fi nd out and set the optimum time interval.
• Pay attention that no deposits of materials form on the stainless steel, like salt, dust, dirt, etc. Pay attention especially to intermediate areas (e.g. screwed connections of the
waterfall and fastening of the LED-strip).
• Avoid direct contact with other metals or materials, especially iron, concrete etc.
• Cleaning of the waterfall can normally be carried out with tap water. Use no chlorine or bleaching agents for cleaning under any circumstances. Should fi rst signs of rust have
not
formed, clean the parts with a stainless steel cleaning agent (no scouring agent) or with nitric acid in a 10-15% solution in water. Rinse with tap water in both cases and dry with a
cotton wool cloth. Pay attention that no cleaning and care agents get into the pool or pond water.
• Use a soft cloth (e.g. microfi ber, cotton wool) for cleaning work to avoid scratching of the stainless steel surface.
a
• Check the pH-value of the water regularly and pay attention to correct use of disinfecting agents.
• Pay attention to correct dosing of chlorine or salts for swimming pool care to prevent oxidation of the surface due to too high concentrations.
• Circulate the water daily, so that no deposits can form at the stainless steel parts in contact with water.
• Check the stainless steel waterfall during a yearly preventative maintenance.
