Can I use this set to supply a waterfall?

What maintenance does the UVC bulb require?

The 9-watt UVC bulb should be checked annually and replaced when its effectiveness diminishes or it stops functioning, typically once a year for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Filter is not pumping water

Check that the pump is submerged and its intake is not blocked. Ensure the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is on. Verify that the filter hose is not kinked or blocked.

Water is still cloudy after installation

Allow the system several days to work. Ensure the UVC bulb is functioning correctly and has not reached the end of its lifespan. Check if the pond size exceeds the recommended capacity for the filter, especially with fish stock.

Reduced water flow

Clean the filter media using the integrated cleaning function. Check the pump intake and filter hose for any obstructions. Ensure the UVC unit is not clogged internally.

UVC light is not on

Check the power connection to the UVC unit. The UVC bulb may need to be replaced if it has reached its operational limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the filter is placed in a suitable location, ideally at the lowest point of the pond or slightly below water level for optimal priming, or in a position that allows gravity return.
  2. Connect the included 5-meter filter hose to the filter pump's outlet and the filter's inlet.
  3. Position the filter pump in or near the pond and connect its inlet to the pond water.
  4. Connect the filter's outlet hose to your desired water feature or return point.
  5. Connect the UVC unit's power cable to a suitable outdoor power source. Ensure all electrical connections are safe and protected from water.

Compatibility:

  • Pond Size: Suitable for ponds up to 10,000 liters (without fish) or 5,000 liters (with fish).
  • Water Features: Can supply water features up to a certain height due to its pressure capabilities.
  • Debris Size: Filters coarse debris up to 4 mm.

Care:

  • Filter Cleaning: Utilize the pressure filter cleaning mechanism as per the manufacturer's instructions. This typically involves operating a handle or valve to agitate the filter media and flush out debris without opening the filter housing.
  • UVC Bulb: The 9-watt UVC bulb should be checked annually and replaced when it dims or stops functioning to maintain optimal performance.
  • Pump Intake: Regularly check the pump's intake for blockages, especially from leaves or larger debris, and clear as needed.
  • General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the filter and pump with a damp cloth as necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
