FAQs
How often should I clean the filter?
Use the self-cleaning mechanism regularly, usually every few weeks or when the water flow decreases. The frequency depends on your pond's load.
How do I replace the UVC bulb?
Unplug the filter and carefully access the UVC compartment. Replace the bulb with a compatible replacement, taking care not to touch the glass.
What size pond is this filter suitable for?
The filter is designed for a specific pond volume. Check the product specifications for the maximum recommended pond size.
Can I use this filter with a waterfall?
Yes, the pressurized design allows for connection to a waterfall or stream.
What kind of maintenance does the filter media require?
Inspect the filter media regularly. Replace the media when it becomes overly clogged or damaged. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for specific media care.
