Starting up the pressure filter
Important! Before each start-up, you should check that the
connected hoses, the sealing cap and the tension ring with safety
latch are sitting correctly. The function switch must be set to the
"Filter" symbol. It is imperative that you read and follow the safety
guidelines before start-up.
1. First switch on the pump
Caution! The UVC lamp must not be operated without water flowing
through it.
2. After starting up the pump, check that all the connections are
watertight. Improve those that are not.
3. Plug the Filtoclear UVC into the mains. The power indicator
lights up with a blue shimmer.
Note: In the case of a new installation, the pressure filter
only reaches its full biological cleaning effectiveness after
a few weeks. Extensive bacterial activity only starts at
temperatures of + 50°F or above.
Cleaning and maintenance of the Filtoclear
The Filtoclear pressure filter is largely maintenance-free. The fil-
ter sponges should, however, be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning the filter sponges with the handle function
Suspended matter and dirt are deposited in the filter sponges
over time. These deposits reduce the effectiveness of the filter,
so the filter sponges should be cleaned regularly, e.g. every two
weeks.
Note: The filter sponges should be cleaned when cloudy
or even dirty water flows out of the water outlet and back
into the pond.
You can check how dirty the filter is at the transparent
spiral stepped hose adapter with the green flow vane at
the water outlet.
1. Twist off the sealing cap at the cleaning connection or at the
drainage hose that is connected to the cleaning connection.
Caution: There will be a small flow of water.
2. Pull the function switch up slightly and turn clockwise until it
clicks into the "Clean" position.
3. Pull the cleaning handle hard and "pump" several times. This
squeezes the filter sponges and cleans them mechanically.
4. Press the cleaning handle down until it hits the lid. The two
O-rings noticably lock into position.
