− Minimum safety distance between the unit and the water: 2 m.
− Ensure that the power connection cable cross section is not smaller than that of the rubber sheath with the
identification H05RN-F. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE 0620.
− Protect the plug connections from moisture.
− Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.

Safe operation

− Never operate the unit if either the electrical cables or the housing are defective!
− Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
− Route all cables such that damage is excluded and nobody can trip over them.
− Never open the unit housing or its attendant components, unless this is explicitly required in the operating
instructions.
− Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
− Never carry out technical modifications to the unit.
− Only have repairs carried out by customer service points authorised by PfG.
− The power connection cables cannot be replaced. When the cable is damaged, the unit or the component needs to
be disposed of.
− Only operate the unit if no persons are in the water!
− The unit, the connections and plugs are not water-proof and must not be routed or installed in water.
− Keep the socket and power plug dry.
− Ensure that the filter will not overflow. Danger of emptying the pond.
Installation (A)
Saw off the stepped hose connection in accordance with the hose diameter used (A1). At the filter, push the union nuts
over the stepped hose connections, push or turn on the stepped hose connection, and secure with the hose clips.
Place the flat sealing rings in the union nuts and screw onto the inlet and outlet of the pressure filter (A2). At the filter
pump, push or turn the hose onto the stepped hose connection, secure with hose clips and screw onto the filter pump
connection thread (A3).
Installation (B)
Place the pressure filter in a flood protected position at a distance from the pond edge of at least 2m on firm and level
ground. As an alternative, the filter can also be partly buried up to approx. 5 cm below the closing clamps. The height
difference between the lid and the free outlet point may be max. 2 m. Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation.
Ensure direct access to the lid to be able to carry out work at the unit. Place the filter pump in the pond as horizontal as
possible on a firm, sludge free ground so that it is completely in the water, at a maximum depth of 2 m below the water
level. Max. height difference between pump outlet and outlet point: 2.40 m.
Start-up
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.

Protective measures:

− Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
− Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
Attention! Never operate the unit with a water pressure of more than 0.2 bar!
Attention! Never operate the unit without water flowing through!
Adhere to the safety information given above! Connect the filter pump power plug (C1) and wait until the pressure filter
is filled with water. Check the pressure filter container and all connections for leaks. Connect the power plug of the
UVC clarifying unit, the blue control lamp is lit (C2). Fit the cover of the UVC pre-clarifying unit. Note: After a new
installation, the unit only reaches its full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. The full effect on bacteria is only
reached as from a water temperature of + 10 °C. Note: In the event of overheating, the installed temperature monitor
switches the UVC lamp off automatically, the lamp automatically switches on again once cooled down.
Switching of the units
Disconnect the power plug to switch the units off (C3, C4).
