Installation
PfG recommends hoses suitable for a minimum pressure of 1 bar.
Fig. A:
− Shorten stepped hose adapters such that the connection opening coincide with the hose diameter. This helps to
avoid pressure loss.
− Push the union nuts over the stepped hose adapters, push or turn on the stepped hose adapter, and secure with the
hose clips.
− Insert the flat sealing ring or the O ring into the union nut for the black hose adapter and screw onto the pressure
filter inlet.
Installation
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or serious injuries.

Protective measures:

− Only operate the unit with the protection hood fitted.
− Ensure that the unit is installed water-tight with a safety distance from the water of a minimum of 2 m.
Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 40 ºC).
Figure 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.
