1 Instructions for use Ubbink BioPressure 10000
• It is prohibited to open the UV-C device or its associated parts if this is not expressly stipulated in these Instructions for use. This also applies for technical changes to the device.
• The UV-C device features a safety switch which automatically interrupts the power supply when the device is opened. –The mains plug and all connection points must always be
kept dry. The connection cable of the UV-C device should be laid so that it is protected from damage.
• The pressure filter may not be put into operation until all components and hose connections have been installed.
• Ensure that the device is switched off if no water is flowing through the device.
• The pressure filter may only be operated at a water temperature of +5 °C to +35 °C.
• A UV-C device with obvious damage may not be operated!
• It is not possible to exchange the mains cable on the UV-C device. If the cable is damaged, the UV-C device must be correctly disposed of.
• The pressure filter is not suitable for use by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities or with a lack of experience and knowledge unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions regarding the use of the device. Children must be monitored in order to ensure that they do not
play with the device.
Use
The BioPressure 10000 is a mechanical/biological function pressure filter with an integrated UV-C device for setting up next to the pond above and below the water level. The filtered
pond water can also be pumped through the pressure filter to higher waterfalls. In order to achieve visible results with the UV-C irradiation, the pond water should be completely
circulated at least once within 2 hours (pond with fishstock) or 4 hours (pond without fish stock).
Installation
CAUTION! Prior to every intervention (initial assembly, cleaning, installation and replacement of the UVC lamp etc., the power supply for the UVC device and
the pump must always first be disconnected!
1. Determine the location of the BioPressure filter (observe the safety guidelines). Assembly of the filter is possible both above-ground and installed in the earth. When digging in the
BioPressure filter up to the cover height, ensure that the filter is positioned horizontally and well back-filled with earth or sand.
2. Insert the large rubber sealing ring into the edge of the filter body. It is essential that you ensure that the rubber sealing ring does not twist or tilt on insertion. Only in this way can
you be sure that the cover can be correctly mounted and that no water can subsequently leak out from between the two filter parts.
Tip: Moisten the rubber sealing ring with a little water and then insert it slightly elevated onto the upper edge of the filter container. Whilst pressing on the cover, the rubber
sealing ring then rolls down into position.
3. Press the cover into position onto the filter housing and then lay the clamping ring over the edge of the filter housing and cover and close the filter.
4. Filter inlet (A):
Shorten the general-purpose hose nozzle (black) to suit the pond hose and screw it tight onto the filter inlet.
Shorten the pond hose to the required length, attach it to the pump and filter inlet on the hose nozzles and secure using hose clamps. Set up the pump in the pond on firm ground,
free of sludge and sand. Prior to commissioning the pump, read the instructions for use and observe the safety guidelines and the specifications for minimum submersion depth.
When connecting the hose nozzles, use the appropriate sealing rings.
5. Filter outlet (J):
Shorten the transparent general-purpose hose nozzle to suit the pond hose and screw it tight onto the filter outlet.
Shorten the pond hose to the required length, then attach one end of the hose onto the hose nozzle and secure with a hose clamp. Lay the other end of the hose back to the pond
or to the waterfall. When connecting the hose nozzle, use the appropriate sealing ring. If the filtered water is directly conducted back into the pond, the water should flow in from a
drop height of approx. 15-20 cm.
6. Contamination outlet (I):
Shorten the black general-purpose hose nozzle to suit the pond hose and screw it tight onto the contamination outlet.
Shorten the pond hose to the required length, then attach one end of the hose onto the hose nozzle and secure with a hose clamp. Lay the other end of the hose back to the point
at which the contaminated water should be disposed of. When connecting the hose nozzle, use the appropriate sealing ring.
Guideline: For the duration of the filter operation, you can also close this outlet with a cap. To do this, mount the closure cap (glass) onto the contamination outlet and screw it
tight using the ring. Keep the hose nozzle with hose for later "Cleaning operation".
7. Before you put the pressure filter into operation, ensure once again that all cable connections and hose connections fit correctly and that the filter with the seal is well closed. The
function switch (B) must be switched to "Filter function".
8. Always first switch on the pump and check that the water flows evenly through the pressure filter and that there are no leakages on the filter and on the hose connections. Only
then should the UV-C device be switched on.
9. It is important that your pressure filter runs continuously. The filter should only be completely shut down for maintenance and during the winter period. We recommend that you
keep the UV-C device switched off until the bacteria have developed (6-8 weeks).
10. If the pressure filter should be shut down (maintenance and winter period), the UV-C device must always be shut down first. Only then should the pump be switched off and the
water drained from the pump.
Guideline: This BioPressure pressure filter is equipped with a filter mat set, on the structures of which those contamination particles and floating matter can be deposited which,
within 6-8 weeks of the filter being commissioned, can help to contribute towards the development and build-up of bacteria cultures required for both mechanical and biological
filtration. Therefore, give your pressure filter the possibility to develop its filter properties fully within this time, without these being partially or completely interrupted.
