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.
T I P
The filter system operates day and night and causes rinsing noises during the automatic
cleaning cycles.
Please protect the general public and your neighbourhood from noise disturbance
•
and comply with the statutory noise regulations.
Enclose the filter system such that the enclosure effectively absorbs the noises.
•
Select the location of the filter system in order to avoid noise disturbance.
•
T I P
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond. In this way, the
filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.

•
Align the base slab horizontally.
Install the drum filter module 200 mm higher than the subsequent Moving Bed module, so
•
that the connections of the two modules (outlet and inlet) are at the same height.
– Tip: Use 24 commercially available concrete slabs of 500 × 500 × 50 mm each to create a
base surface of 1500 × 1000 mm and construct four layers on top of each other.
Position the outlet of the filter system so that the water level in the drum filter module is
•
280 ... 400 mm below the edge of the container.
– Otherwise, optimum or fault-free operation will not possible.
– When using the pump-fed ProfiClear Premium XL drain module, the correct water level will
establish itself automatically.
Ensure that the inlet to the pond (e.g. via a stream or waterfall) is not positioned higher than
•
the outlet of the filter system.
