Distance from the pond
Electrical components of the filter system operate with a rated voltage of U
supplied via an external transformer connected to the mains.
• Filter system with UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system and transformer must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• Filter system without UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system can be installed directly next to the water. The transformer must be located at a dis-
tance of at least 2 m from the water.
Optimum ambient and operating conditions
Optimum operating results can be obtained with careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account.
• As the filter is very heavy when filled, it must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs, but preferably
on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from subsiding.
• Align the base slab horizontally.
• Ensure sufficient room for movement for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
• Allow the dirty water to drain out into a drain or far enough away from the pond to ensure that it cannot flow
back into the pond.
• Do not position the inlet into the pond higher than the outlet of the filter system (e.g. above a water course or
waterfall).
N O T E
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.

Connecting the inlet
The filter system has two inlets with stepped hose adapters.
• For connecting a filter pump
• For connecting a UVC clarifier (→ Connecting a UVC clarifier)
• If an inlet is not used, fit a closed stepped hose adapter.
– The stepped hose adapters are delivered closed.
Prerequisite:
• The container is open. (→ Opening the container)
• The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
How to proceed:
H
1. Shorten the stepped hose adapter to the diameter of the hose used.
– This reduces pressure losses.
2. Insert the stepped hose adapter with flat seal into the inlet opening.
3. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– BioTec ScreenMatic² 140000: Alternatively fit a 50 mm (2") hose connector.
4. Slip the hose clip over the hose, fit the hose onto the hose connector and secure with the hose clip.

Connecting a UVC clarifier
Prerequisite:
• The container is open. (→ Opening the container)
• The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
How to proceed:
I
1. Fit the UVC clarifier with flat seal into the inlet opening.
2. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– Read the UVC clarifier operating instructions.

Connecting the outlet
• Use suitable pipes.
• Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
