Water Flow During Backwash
1
UltraKlean Pond Filter Biological Start-Up
• The biological fi ltration process is nature's way of breaking
down fi sh waste and other pond debris into harmless by-
products. To be successful, allow anywhere from three to
six weeks for biological fi ltration to be fully functional. The
pump supplying water through the UltraKlean Pond Filter
should be operated 24 hours a day in order to maintain the
biological function of the fi lter.
Filter Cleaning
• The "CLEAN" indicator light will illuminate to remind you
to backwash the fi lter (approximately once every two
weeks). It takes only a few minutes to clean, and there is
no need to open your fi lter at this time. You can backwash
the fi lter more often if you notice the water fl ow from the
fi lter slow down. Press the "RESET" button once you have
completed the cleaning operation.
Backwashing the UltraKlean Pond Filter
• Unplug or shut off power to pump before beginning
backwash process.
• Fully open the discharge shutoff valve. If not using the
included discharge shutoff valve, remove the backwash
cap from the port on the lid of the fi lter.
• If using the included discharge shutoff valve, rotate the
backwash valve 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the
"CLEAN" or backwash position.

• If not using the discharge shutoff valve, attach the
appropriate multi-hose adapter to the backwash port.
Then, attach a section of tubing that can discharge the
water to your yard or garden before rotating the backwash
valve 90 degrees to the "CLEAN" position.
Note: The valve can be a little stiff to turn, if it hasn't been moved
in a while. Do not use tools which might crack the handle.The valve
assembly can be removed from the lid for cleaning and lubrication
with silicone grease. We recommend doing this if the valve becomes
very stiff to turn.
