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 severe frost, causing pipes to burst. For this
reason, lay the pipes and hoses with an incline (50 mm/m) to ensure that they are drained
completely.
For gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the re-
turn to the pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.
Installing the filter module and connecting it to the upstream filter module
How to proceed:
1. Push the transition sleeve onto the inlet and fasten the transition sleeve with the hose clip.
– For later installation work: Turn the hose clip so that the hose clip screw is accessible from
the side.
2. Push the filter module up to the previous filter module so that its outlet is positioned in the
transition sleeve of the filter module up to the stop.
– Ensure that the dirt water outlets of all filter modules are positioned on the same side.
3. Fasten the transition sleeve on the outlet of the upstream filter module using the hose clip.
– For later installation work: Turn the hose clip so that the hose clip screw is accessible from
the side.
Connecting the dirt outlet
The water in the container can be drained via the DN 75 dirt outlet with a slide valve at the bot-
tom of the container if required (for cleaning, repair, overwintering).
Connect a suitable DN 75 pipe and drain the dirty water into the sewer system.
