Installation and connection
5.1
Installation planning
Note:
Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.
The unit weighs more than 25 kg (→ Technical Data).
Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into
account, you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
As the filter modules are very heavy when filled, they must be placed on a suitable base (at least on
►
slabs, but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent them from subsiding.
Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
►
Drain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into
►
the pond.
If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least DN
−
110 pipes.
Use a suitable system for removing coarse soiling, e.g. ProfiClear Premium Drum Filter Module.

Information regarding pipes
Use suitable pipes.
►
Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
►
Glue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop
►
them from coming apart.
Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this
►
reason, lay the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
For gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the return to the
►
pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.
5.3
Installing the filter module and connecting it to additional filter modules
The Individual Module is fitted as the final stage in a row of ProfiClear Premium filters.
How to proceed:
4.
M
1. Position the Individual Module container behind the Moving Bed container or the drum filter and
push it towards the other module (drum filter or other Moving Bed module) until the outlet socket of
the other module slides inside the rubber socket of the Individual Module up to the stop.
The slide valves of the soiled water drains are all located on the same side.
−
2. Secure the connection with a hose clip.
3. First position the hose clip screw at the top, then tighten. This facilitates later installation steps.
5.4
Returning the water to the pond
After it has passed through all cleaning stages, the clean water has to be returned to the pond. For this,
connect DN 110 pipes to both DN 110 outlets.
