Hozelock Cyprio Ecopower garden pond
GB
filters can be sited almost anywhere. (See
a,b,c Fig 1) and, teamed with the appropriate
pond pump, they will remove unwanted solids
from the water and convert dissolved organic
and chemical fish waste into harmless
compounds. In addition, these combined
filter/UVC units will give Guaranteed Clear
Water if the advice given in the Hozelock
Cyprio Filter Equipment Selection Chart and in
these instructions is adhered to.
SAFETY AND ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
The appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
! Always disconnect all equipment in the pond
before starting to handle, maintain, repair or
install any pond equipment.
! This product is NOT SUBMERSIBLE, and
should be sited where it cannot fall into the
water or become waterlogged. However, the
design is weatherproof, and Ecopower filters
can be safely installed outdoors.
! Important – This product is not suitable for
use in direct sunlight over long periods of
time, as this may cause the product to
overheat.
! Direct exposure to ultra-violet light can
damage eyes and skin. DO NOT attempt to
view the ultra-violet lamp when lit. To check
the lamp look at the opaque Inlet Connector
(See 'A' Fig 2) which will glow when the lamp
is on.
! This product is supplied complete with 3m of
3 core electric cable. The plug supplied with
this unit is not waterproof.
! Exposed cable runs should be sensibly
positioned, and protected if necessary by
armoured conduit, especially if contact is likely
with gardening equipment such as forks and
lawn mowers, or children or animals.
! A 10mA or 30mA Residual Current Circuit
Breaker (RCD) MUST be fitted to the mains
supply.
! Permanent installations to the mains supply
(hard wiring) must comply with the
regulations of the local electricity authority,
which may stipulate the use of plastic or metal
conduit to protect the cable.
! If in any doubt about wiring to the mains
supply, consult a qualified electrician or your
local electricity authority.
! Protect from frost. In cold winter weather
(when fish are not active and algae growth
ceases), the unit may be switched off. It should
then be drained of water, removed (if possible)
from its installation and stored in a dry, frost-
protected area.
SIZING THE EQUIPMENT
The Filter Equipment Selection Chart overleaf
gives general guidelines on the specifications
of pump, filter, UVC and flexible hose
diameter for garden ponds up to 20000 Litres
(4000 gallons), with stocking options for
goldfish or Koi. For best results the following
condition factors must also be taken into
account.
DEPTH
Hozelock Cyprio recommends a minimum
depth of 1.2m (4') for Koi ponds. For a pond
with an average depth of less than 0.75m (2'
6") the Condition Factor is + 25% (ie add 25%
to the pond volume if less then 0.75m deep)
Shallow ponds are subject to full
2
penetration of sunlight, and warm up quickly.
This encourages the growth of algae.
INSTALLATION
Locate the Ecopower on firm, level ground
where you can access it conveniently for
maintenance.
LOCATION
Pond location determines the daily amount of
sunlight or shade a pond receives. Ponds
exposed to full sunshine throughout the day
have a Condition Factor of +25%.
CLIMATE
Climate affects water temperatures and fish
activity rate/feeding requirements. The more
active the fish, the greater the demands on
the filtration system.
In hot climates (i.e. South Africa), the
Condition Factor is +35%
In temperate climates (i.e. Southern Europe),
the Condition Factor is +15%
In a Northern European climate (i.e. most areas
of Great Britain), the Condition Factor is +0%.
EXAMPLE
You have a 2250 litres (500 gallon) goldfish
pond 0.6m (2') deep (Condition Factor +25%).
You live in London - a Northern European
climate (Condition Factor +0%). The pond is
exposed to full sunlight (+25%). The effective
volume of your pond is therefore increased by
50% (25% + 25%), and you would need to size
your equipment as though your pond held
3375 litres (750 gallons)
1.0 Wiring and Installation
IMPORTANT : The pump supplying this unit
must not have a maximum head exceeding 6m
(3.8 PSI, 0.3 Bar) The table in these instructions
will guide you through the best pump to be
fitted with your Filter. Once installed the
water will flow through the filter as shown in
Fig 3.
The plug supplied with this product is not
waterproof and must be housed in a dry,
weatherproof enclosure.
If you cannot reach the connection point to
the mains supply without extending the cable,
a weatherproof connector must be used and
the extension cord must be polychloroprene
rubber insulated ref: HO5 RN-F5 core 0.75mm.
1.1 Ecopower filters are pump-fed, external
filters with an integral UVC unit, ideal for
being partially buried adjacent to your
pond or being positioned above ground if
desired. The filter may also be concealed at
the top of a waterfall (See Fig 1 a, b, c )
If you choose to part-bury your Ecopower
filter, the excavation should be firmly
backfilled with compacted sand or soil to
support the unit.
1.2 Ecopower filters incorporate inlet hose tails

1
to fit 20 - 40mm (

Equipment Selection Chart overleaf) and an
outlet hose tail to fit 40mm (1
The pump inlet and filter outlet pipe
should be at opposite ends of the pond for
optimal water circulation in the pond. Bear
this in mind when purchasing, measuring
and cutting the hose.
1.3 Cut the inlet hose tail on your Ecopower
Filter to the size appropriate for the
diameter of the hose to be used (see Fig 4).
Then connect the hose from your pump to
this inlet hose tail and secure with hose
clips, available separately, to insure there
are no leaks. Do not overtighten.
1.4 The filter outlet connector and overflow
moulding (2 of each on Ecopower 20000)
should be secured to the side of the vessel.
See Fig 5. The outlet hose (if fitted) should
be secured in the same way as the inlet
hose. Avoid kinks and bends, and keep
hose runs as short as possible (preferably
less than 1m) to minimise flow restrictions.
1.5 The supply cable cannot be replaced. If
the cable is damaged, the unit should be
discarded.
! WARNING: This appliance MUST be
earthed, and it is essential that the
connections be made using the following
code:
• The BROWN lead should be connected to
the LIVE terminal marked 'L'.
• The BLUE lead should be connected to
the NEUTRAL terminal marked 'N'.
• The GREEN/YELLOW lead should be
connected to the EARTH terminal marked:
1.6 Wet Test: It is essential that the unit is wet
tested before connecting to the mains
electricity. With the Electrical Cover /
Viewing Hatch removed, connect the hoses
to the inlet and outlet as described in 1.3
above. Switch on the PUMP ONLY and run
for an hour. Inspect the top of the unit and
inside the quartz glass tube for leaks. (see
'F' Fig 9) If any leaks are detected return
the filter to the retailer. This test should be
repeated when the quartz glass tube is
changed.
2.0 UVC LAMP REPLACEMENT
Ecopower is supplied with a UVC lamp fitted.
! The effective life of a double-ended UVC
lamp is 12 months in continuous use, after
which time the lamp should be replaced.
Even though it may still glow the light
emitted is not powerful enough to treat
the water.
2.1 Switch off and isolate (by removing the
fuse) the pump supplying water to the
filter and the power supply to the
Ecopower unit. Remove the electrical cover
/ viewing hatch (see 1.5a).
2.2 Pull off the lamp terminals (see 'G' Fig 10)
from both ends, and slide the 'old' lamp
out of the quartz tube. (see 'H' Fig 11).
Slide the 'new' lamp into the quartz tube
and push the lamp terminals onto both
ends of the UVC lamp
2.3 Replace the electrical cover / viewing hatch
and tighten the four fixing screws. Switch
on the power supply to the Ecopower and
check via the indicator (see 'A' Fig 2) which
will glow when the lamp is on.
3.0 FLOW RATE
3.1 The pond volume should pass through the
Ecopower every 1
flow rate being recommended for Koi
ponds. Do not exceed the maximum, as
stated in the Equipment Selection Chart
overleaf. Correct flow rate is essential if
you are to obtain clear water. If your
installation does not suffer from high losses
of flow (i.e. long hose runs) it may be

necessary to adjust the flow down to
achieve the 1

3.2 Small diameter hose, unnecessarily long
hose runs and a high pumping lift ('head')
can all considerably reduce water flow
from the pump to the filter. We
recommend choosing a pump that will
deliver the required flow for the filter
against full static lift (= vertical distance
between pond surface and filter inlet), plus
0.6m (2ft) to allow for friction losses in
hoses.
3.3 The object of filtration is to transfer waste
material from the pond into the filter, and
therefore any pump used as part of the
package should be capable of handling
solids. We recommend the Hozelock Cyprio
Titan filter pump, specifically designed for
ponds in the size range covered by
Ecopower. The pump should be positioned
on the bottom in the deepest part of the
pond, as this is where solids accumulate.
