Maintenance of the filter
• Always disconnect from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance!
• Clean the filter weekly by using the Auto Clean Wash (backwash). After fist installation or if your
pond is heavily polluted, it may be neccesary to flush through the filter daily by using the Auto
Clean Wash.
• Remove the end cap of the CLEAN exit. Install the suplied tule on to the CLEAN exit and attach a
pond hose (E-a). Turn the Auto Clean Wash knob a quater counterclockwise (E-b). The pond pump
will flush the water in the opposite direction, cleaning the filter sponges. You can use the effluent
water to irrigate your garden. After cleaning, ALWAYS reinstall the end cap at the CLEAN exit.
• The filter must be cleaned twice a year. Unplug the Pond pump and TopClear filter from the mains
supply. Remove the pond hoses from the filter and open the clamps. After the first clamp, open
the opposite clamp, etc. (F-a). Then take the lid of the filter.
• Take out the filter sponges and rinse with clean tap water. Replace the filter sponge yearly or
more often if needed (F-b).
• Take out the clapboard (not applicable with the TopClear 5000) and rinse with tap water.
• The Bio-Balls should be cleaned twice a year in a bucket filled with pond water. Do not use tap
water for this purpose!
• Remove the rubber sealant from the filter housing, check the seal for damage. Replace, after
cleaning or replacement, the sealant back in the upper part of the housing.
• After cleaning, replace the lid in the same position as before and close the clamps properly.
Maintenance of the UVC-unit
• Check monthly if UV lamp is lit through the control window on the cover (D-b).
• Always disconnect from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance!
• The UVC device should be cleaned twice a year. As soon as algae growth increases, check the UVC
and UV-lamp and clean or exchange as needed.
