FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter when the indicator float pops out, typically every few weeks or months, depending on pond conditions.

How do I replace the UV bulb?

Disconnect the power, remove the UV bulb housing, and replace the old bulb with a new one. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.

What kind of pump do I need?

You need a pond pump with a flow rate suitable for your pond's volume and the filter's specifications. Consult the filter manual for recommended flow rates.

How do I know if the filter is working?

Check for clear water, and the absence of excessive algae growth. Regular cleaning and maintenance are also good indicators.

Can I use this filter with a waterfall?

Yes, the pressurised design allows the outlet to be positioned higher than the filter body, making it ideal for incorporating a waterfall.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product documentation or the retailer for warranty information.

What should I do if the filter is leaking?

Check all connections and seals. Tighten any loose parts. If the leak persists, inspect the filter housing for cracks or damage and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

Filter is not working or has low flow.

Check the power supply, ensure the pump is running, and clean or replace filter foams if clogged. Check for any blockages in the hoses.

Water is still cloudy or green.

Check the UV bulb, the bulb may need replacing. Clean the filter media thoroughly, and ensure the filter is correctly sized for your pond volume.

The cleaning handle is difficult to turn.

Check for debris or blockage inside the filter. If the handle is still difficult to turn, try backwashing the filter.
