Maintenance And Cleaning - ubbink BioPressure 10000 Mode D'emploi

1 Instructions for use Ubbink BioPressure 10000
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 first be disconnected!
Contamination drainage
The BioPressure 10000 mainly functions maintenance-free. Dependent on the degree of contamination in the pond water, dirt deposits may however have an adverse effect on
cleaning. Therefore, (depending on the degree of contamination), the dirt deposits should be rinsed out approximately every 2 weeks.
1. If the closure cap (glass) is mounted on the contamination outlet, remove it and connect the black general-purpose hose nozzle with hose.
2. Turn the function switch (B) to the position "Cleaning operation" until you hear a quiet click. The water will now flow out of the opening for the contamination outlet (I).
3. During „Cleaning operation", it is possible to press the function switch (B) downwards to squeeze out the filter sponge slightly, without having to take it out of the device. Do this
carefully! Excessively fast or forceful pressure can break the inner plastic ring.
5. When the water running out of the filter is almost clear, turn the function switch back to the "Filter operation" position.
6. Now you can re-mount the closure cap (glass) on the contamination outlet.
Note: Please do not completely wash out/rinse out the filter. Established bacteria cultures would then be partially or completely destroyed, which would have an adverse effect on the
cleaning performance until they have re-established themselves.
Cleaning the filter sponges
If, in spite of contaimination drainage, the pressure in the filter continues to increase, the filter sponges must be washed out. To help you, please observe the control indicator (D) on
the top of the cover.
Normal pressure Orange-coloured ring is at the bottom/not visible.
Pressure increased Orange-coloured ring covers the green cylinder = Cleaning required
1. Always first switch off the integrated UV-C device and then the pump
2. Remove all the hose connections on the filter
3. Open and remove the locking bar of the filter (see Figs. 1, 2, 3)
4. Lift off the cover and place on a clean surface with the top side up (see Fig. 4).
5. Remove the top filter layer by first pressing down on the plastic ring slightly and then turning it slightly until it moves upwards easily. Now pull off the first layer of the filter sponge
and remove the other filter layers, filter sponges and pipes in the same way (see Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).
6. Squeeze out and wash out the filter sponges well with tap water.
7. Rinse out the filter body and cover with a garden hose.
8. Insert the filter sponges, filter layers and pipes in the opposite sequence again. Start with the large blue filter sponge, then alternate between yellow and blue.
9. Observe the recesses in the plastic rings and filter sponges so that the filter sponges lie closely against each other. Leaving ntermediate spaces or tilting will make assembly far
more difficult.
10. Press the cover into position on the filter housing and then close the clamping ring over the edge of the filter housing and cover and close the filter (see installation).
Replacing the UV-C lamp
The UV-C device integrated in the BioPressure filter is equipped with a UV-C lamp with a lifetime of approx. 8,000 operating hours. After this time, the UV-C power is reduced so
much that the UV-C lamp will have to be replaced. The required UV-C replacement bulb can be obtained from your Ubbink specialist trader. Only use a UV-C lamp which accords in
designation and power with the information stated on the type plate.
Replace the UV-C lamp as follows:
1. Unscrew the handle and then unscrew the screws from the UV-C cover which is fxed on the filter (see Fig. 11)
2. Remove the UV-C cover, carefully pull the UV-C lamp out of the socket and then carefully insert the UV-C replacement lamp (see Figs.12, 13, 14)
3. Reapply the UV-C cover and screw this and the handle tight (see Fig. 15, 16).
Caution: Do not touch the UV-C lamp with your bare hands!! This may damage the lamp.
Cleaning / replacing the UV-C quartz glass
The UV-C quartz glass should be cleaned at least two to three times per year of contamination and limescale, depending on the algae growth in the pond and the degree of
contamination of the pond water.
1. Always first switch off the integrated UV-C device and then the pump.
2. To make the maintenance work easier, we recommend that you completely empty the filter.
3. Remove the UV-C cover, as described under Replacing the UV-C lamp.
4. Remove the UV-C lamp, and then carefully pull the UV-C quartz glass out of the housing.
This is plugged in, and can simply be pulled out. A rubber ring prevents slipping.
5. Clean the UVC quartz glass with tapwater and a soft cleaning cloth.
Caution!! Avoid scratching the quartz glass and if possible do not contact the glass bulb directly with your hands. Due to the UV-C radiation, perspiration and grease burn into
the glass bulb and can cause a reduction in the performance of the UV-C device.
6. Rinse out the plastic housing in which the UV-C quartz glass is contained with water and dry the housing prior to assembly.
7. Carefully dry off the UV-C quartz glass before replacing it.
8. Replace the UV-C lamp and close the UV-C section again by following the instructions for opening backwards.
9. Then always switch on the pump first before switching on the UV-C device.
Storage/winter storage
Whe the first frosts come, the pressure filter must be dismantled and kept somewhere free of frost. Previously, however, it should be thoroughly cleaned and the device tested for
damage.
