WORKING PRINCIPLES
FILTER
GREEN RESET Filters have been designed to
perform three important stages of filtration, essential
OF GREEN RESET
to maintaining pond water clear and healthy:
1 - Mechanical self-cleaning filtration, by special
sponges which block all larger impurities or debris. When
the sponges are obstructed they can be cleaned by the
handle cleaning system without opening the filter.
2 - Biological filtration (Mod. 25 - 40 only), by special
Bio-Balls positioned on the bottom of the filter. Bio-Balls
have a special structure with a wide surface for the
deposit of Bacteria to help maintaining the water healthy.
These special Bio-Balls have to be washed rarely as
each wash removes most of the grown bacterial flora.
3 - Sterilisation by UV-C rays, granted by the special
UV-C lamp.
The water, through the tube which connects the pump
to the Inlet of the filter (fig. 1/A), is forced towards the
mechanical filtration compartment. A special header
distributes the water uniformly over the sponges to
ensure maximum efficiency over the whole surface.
Then water reaches the grille on the bottom of the filter
compartment and Bio-Balls with bacteria that eliminate
any toxic substances (Mod. 25 - 40 only). The water is
now clean and passes through the UV-C sterilizer that
inhibits algae growth. The water returns to the pond
through the outlet (fig. 1/B).
FILTER POSITIONING
The choice in positioning GREEN RESET filter is very
important.
Carefully follow these suggestions:
• The filter can be placed at ground level or partially
buried. In this case the V-band (fig. 1/M) must be kept
at least 10 cm above ground level.
• Do not cover the filter so to avoid overheating.
• Place the filter on a flat, stable base, in an adequately
ventilated area, shaded from direct sunlight.
• Locate the filter vertically at least one metre far from
the edge of the pond and make sure it cannot fall into
water. Verify that there is enough space around the filter
for the cleaning operations.
• Do not make the filter working at pressure over 0.4
bar. Locate the filter so the Inlet (fig. 1/ A) and outlet
(fig. 1/B) point in the direction of the pond to avoid
useless bends in the connecting pipes.
FIRST INSTALLATION OF GREEN RESET FILTER
• Open the V-band (fig. 1/M) and lift the filter cover.
• Remove the sponges.
• Remove the grille under the sponges (Mod. 25 - 40
only).
• Put the biological filtering material (Bioballs) inside
on the bottom of the filter paying attention to do not
obstruct the central hose (fig. 2). Reposition the grille
on the top, fixing it correctly. Then position the sponges
(Mod. 25 - 40 only).
• Verify that the O-ring in the top groove of the canister
is positioned in a proper way (fig. 3).
• Position the filter cover on the gasket and close the
filter with the V-band paying attention that the O-ring
is still positioned in a proper way. Be careful to do not
pinch your fingers or the power cable.
• Connect the inlet and outlet hoses.
• Verify that the flow switch is in the "FILTER" position
(fig. 1/G - 10).
After having done the abovementioned operations,
please proceed as follows:
1. Switch on the pump and let it work for some minutes
in order to verify that everything is functioning and
