Maintenance and cleaning
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.
Adhere to the safety information given above! Check and clean the water outlet into the pond at regular intervals. We
recommend to clean the foam filters at regular intervals. In the event of cloudy or dirty water emerging or the flow
volume decreasing, carry out quick cleaning first. Should this prove insufficient, clean the entire unit.
Quick cleaning (D)
Remove hose from the filter outlet by turning off the union nut and fit a dirt draining hose.
Switch filter pump on again, vigorously pull the cleaning handle and perform a pumping action several times. In this
manner, the foam filters are mechanically cleaned until the draining water is clear.
Full cleaning (E)
If necessary, wash out or replace the filters. Do not use chemical cleaning agents. Switch off the filter pump (C4),
remove all hoses by turning off the union nuts, open the closing clamps of the filter container (E1), lift off the cover
including the foam filter package (E2) and place on a clean support head down, so that the foam filters including the
press ring point upward. Unscrew the pressure ring from the pulling rod by undoing the nut, remove foam filters, and
clean under running water by vigorously pressing together. Jet clean the bioballs, lava stones, container, cover with
meshed tube and press ring (E3). Push on foam filters such that the pulling rod rests in the recess of the foam filters.
Fit the pressing ring with the rod guidance pointing down, and screw fit to the pulling rod using the nut. Ensure that the
meshed tube fits completely in the ring diameter. Remove cover sealing ring from the container and check for damage,
clean or replace, and fit on the top container edge, press cover including the foam filter package onto the container,
engage closing clamps (E4). Fit the hose to the filter inlet, start up filter pump (C1), rinse the pressure filter, until the
emerging water is clear. Switch off filter pump (C4), remove dirt draining hose, screw on drain hose again, restart the
filter pump first (C1), then connect the power plug of the UVC pre-clarifying unit (C2).

− Check the quartz glass and the O ring for damage and replace, if necessary.
− Clean the quartz glass outer face with a moist cloth.
Replacing the UVC lamp (F)
Important: Only use lamps the identification and capacity data of which correspond to the information on the type
plate.
For an optimum filter performance, we recommend to replace the UVC lamp after approx. 8,000 operating hours.
