What size pond is this filter suitable for?

Regular cleaning of the filter, replacement of the UV bulb, and inspection of the filter foams are essential maintenance tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Placement: Position the filter near your pond, ensuring it's easily accessible for maintenance. It can be placed above the water level, which is a major advantage.
Connections: Connect the filter to your pond pump using appropriate tubing. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Outlet: Position the outlet to return the filtered water to the pond, e.g., via a waterfall.
Power: Plug in the filter and UV clarifier to a suitable power source.

Compatibility

Pumps: Compatible with pond pumps that can provide sufficient flow for your pond size. The filter is designed for a maximum pond size of 25,000L. Ensure your pump's flow rate matches or exceeds the filter's requirements.
Tubing: Use the correct size of tubing to connect the pump to the filter and the filter to the pond return.

Care

Cleaning: Use the rotating handle to rinse the filter sponges regularly, typically every few weeks or when the cleaning indicator pops out. Open the separate outlet to discharge the dirty water.
UV Bulb Replacement: Replace the UV bulb every 6-12 months, or as recommended, to maintain its effectiveness. The UV light loses its effectiveness over time.
Foam Replacement: Replace filter foams when they become worn or damaged. The foams are critical to remove solid waste from the water.
Winterizing: In colder climates, protect the filter from freezing during winter. This might involve removing it from the pond or insulating it.
