Maintenance and cleaning ( C )
Adhere to the safety information given above! Always unplug the power cables of the pump and of the Screenmatic
prior to starting work (B3)! Only clean the filter when required, do not use chemical cleaning agents to permit the filter
biology to optimally develop, knowing that cleaning agents kill the bacteria in the foam filters.
Clean and change the Screenmatic screen
Open the unit cover, remove and empty out the collection container (C1). If required, rmove the Screenmatic insert
(C2). For this purpose, tilt up the screen insert, loosen the sealing plug of the power cable from the container wall
inward, pull the power cable inward through the container wall, press in the lateral engagement hooks on the Screen-
matic insert and remove same. Press the Screenmatic unit of Biotec 36 to the rear (C2), then remove. Undo the lateral
screws (C3) from the side section without motor, remove side section, release the clamping lever (C4), and remove the
Screenmatic screen to the front. Thoroughly clean the Screenmatic screen, the strippers, and the screen from both
sides under running water. Replace the screen, if necessary. Reassemble the Screenmatic insert in the reverse order,
lead the power cable through the opening in the container wall and close the wall using the sealing plug.
Clean and replace the foam filters, clean the substrate tubes or change the substrate
Open the unit cover and tilt the screen insert upward (C5). To mechanically clean the foam filters, place the cleaning
tool on a foam holder and compress the foam inserts several times; if necessary, remove the foam filters (C6) and
rinse with clean water. Remove the separating plate between the filter and substrate chamber. Open the cleaning
outlet using the slide valve until the water has completely drained, close and switch the pump on until the filter is
completely filled with pond water. Open the cleaning outlet again and drain the water. Repeat rinsing 2 – 3 times.
Remove the substrate pipes, clean under running water, or replace the substrate. Re-insert the substrate tubes in the
guides, refit the separating plate, tilt the screen insert down again and close the filter cover, then switch the pump on
again.
Storage/Over-wintering
Put the unit out of operation at water temperatures below 8 °C or, at the latest, when freezing temperatures are to be
expected. Drain and thoroughly clean the unit, check for damage. Remove, clean, dry and store all foam inserts and
substrate tubes in a frost-free environment. Do not immerse the power plug in the water! Ensure that the storage place
is inaccessible to children. Cover the filter container such that the ingress of rain water is excluded. Drain all hoses,
pipes and connections as far as possible.
