6.1.5. Lamp's assembly / change of lamps
When changing the fluorescent lamp, first of all the socket rings have to be released and pushed
over the bulb. Now, the bulb can be taken out.
When assembling the new fluorescent lamp, first of all the socket rings have to be pushed on the
bulb. Then the lamp can be inserted.
Please make sure that the socket rings are mounted tightly on the bulb when mounting the lamp.
The lamps are only waterproof when the rings are mounted correctly. Also pay attention that the
sealing at the socket ring is mounted correctly.
Only turn on the light when the fluorescent lamp is mounted and the socket rings are fastened
tightly. Replace broken socket rings by new original ones by Aqua Medic.
6.1.6. Maintenance and Care
The service life of the T5 bulbs will be about 6,000 to 8,000 hours. This corresponds to about 1,5
years with a daily illumination time of 10 hours. It is recommended to exchange the bulbs before
expiration of this time interval since efficiency and colour composition change.
Clean the sun cover from time to time using a moistened cloth. Never use any additional cleaning
agents!
Activated carbon and phosphate remover (antiphos Fe) in filter bags can be inserted in the filter
baskets (Fig. 2, No. 14) underneath the trickle filter plate (Fig. 2, No. 3). Activated carbon and
phosphate remover have to be exchanged regularly.
The sponge (Fig. 2, No. 2) has to be washed, if necessary. The overflow comb (Fig. 2, No. 10) has
to be cleaned of algae and dirt remainders, too.
7. Cover with fans
The fans are connected to the transformer provided via an Y connecting cable. The fans are
adjustable and should remain constantly in operation at low power. Otherwise, water will condense
at the reflectors during the dark phase. If the outside temperatures are high, the fans can be
operated with higher speed.
