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).
Note:
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
If an inlet is not used, fit a closed stepped hose adapter.
– The stepped hose adapters are delivered closed.
Prerequisite:
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.

Connecting a UVC clarifier
Prerequisite:
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.
