Installation and connection
5.1
Installation planning
Note:
Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.
The unit weighs more than 25 kg. (→ Technical data)
Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account,
you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
►
As the filter modules are very heavy when filled, they must be placed on a suitable base (at least on
slabs, but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent them from subsiding.
►
Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
►
Drain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into
the pond.
−
If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least DN
110 pipes.
Use a suitable system for removing coarse soiling, e.g. ProfiClear Compact or ProfiClear Premium
►
drum filter module.
5.2
Information regarding pipes
►
Use suitable pipes.
Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
►
Glue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop them
►
from coming apart.
►
Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this reason,
lay the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
►
For gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the return to the
pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.
5.3
Installing the pump chamber and connecting it to an upstream filter module
How to proceed:
L
1. Position the pump chamber behind the drum filter unit such that the outlet socket of its container slides
inside the rubber socket of the pump chamber up to the stop.
−
The slide valves of the soiled water drains are all located on the same side.
2. Secure the connection with a hose clip.
3. First position the hose clip screw at the top, then tighten. This facilitates later installation steps.
5.4
Returning the water to the pond
After it has passed through all cleaning stages, the clean water has to be returned to the pond. For this,
connect DN 110 pipes to both DN 110 outlets.
