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 severe frost, causing pipes to burst. For this rea-
son, lay the pipes and hoses with an incline (50 mm/m) to ensure that they are drained com-
pletely.
Fitting the filter container
WARNING
The unit is subject to dangerous voltage and must not be installed directly adjacent to the water.
Otherwise there is a risk of severe injuries or death by electrocution.
Install the unit at a distance of at least 2 m from the water to ensure that it is protected against
flooding.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to sharp-edged components.
Proceed with caution during any work on the filter container to prevent injuries caused by sharp-
edged components.
Plan the installation of the filter system. Careful planning and taking the ambient conditions into ac-
count will allow you to achieve optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
As the filter module is very heavy when filled, Choose a suitable base (at least slabs, but preferably
a poured concrete base) to prevent them from sinking.
Horizontally align the base slab.
– The filter system must be positioned horizontally (max. deviation d ± 5 mm).
– Use commercially available concrete slabs, each measuring 500 × 500 mm. Six slabs are re-
quired to form the necessary base of 1500 × 1000 mm.
– If you would like to connect a filter module downstream, the ProfiClear Premium Fleece must
be placed 200 mm higher. (→ Connecting the filter module ProfiClear Premium L)
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.
Position the inlet in the pond (e.g. via a stream or waterfall) so that it is lower than the outlet of
the filter system.
The filter system runs day and night and generates noise during the automatic cleaning cycles.
(→ Unit data)
– Please protect the general public and your neighbourhood from noise disturbance by com-
plying with the statutory noise regulations.
– Enclose the filter system so that the enclosure effectively absorbs the noise.
– Select the location of the filter system so as to avoid noise disturbance as much as possi-
ble.
If the planned installation deviates significantly from the recommendations contained in this
manual:
– Have your specialist retailer check whether all technical specifications were adhered to.
This is crucial for a problem-free operation.
