Commissioning/start-up
Thoroughly clean the pond before starting up the filter system for the first time to ensure that it is not
overloaded by excessively soiled water. OASE recommends using the Pondovac pond vacuum cleaner
for cleaning the pond.
This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.

How to proceed:
7.
1. Close the slide valve for the dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
4. Manually turn the filter drum for one whole rotation to ensure unobstructed movement.
5. Open the slide valve at the inlet and outlet, if applicable, to fill the filter system with water.
6. Fill the pond until the maximum water level is reached.
7. Check the water level in the Drum Filter Module. Refer to the sticker with level markings on the
inside wall of the container.
Ideal water level: 115 mm below the top edge of the container
−
Permissible tolerance: -20 mm (135 mm below the top edge of the container)
−
Correct the installation if the minimum water level is not reached.
−
8. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
−
9. Fit the container cover.
The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted.
−
10. Switch on the control system and perform any necessary adjustments. (
11. Switch on the filter pumps and UVC clarifying unit in the Individual Module (if applicable).
12. Adjust the level detection device to the water level in the filter system. (
detection device)
If using filter starters (e.g. OASE BioKick), do not operate any UVC clarifying units for at least 24 hours
so as not to disturb the colonisation of the filter media by micro-organisms.
