3.4 How to check your flow rate:
Take a container of a known volume and
time how long it takes to fill (in seconds).
Then divide 3600 by the number of
seconds it takes to fill the container, and
multiply by the volume (litres or gallons)
of the container. The result will be the
flow rate in gallons or litres per hour. (ie
Flow Rate Litres per hour LPH = (container
volume m
x 1000) / (3600/time 's' to fill
2
container). To get gallons per hour GPH
divide answer by 4.5
4.0 PERIODS OF OPERATION
Maintain filtration 24 hours a day
throughout the fish-feeding season (until
water temperature falls below 10ºC), but
preferably all year round. In the winter,
operating the pump and filter will
maintain a background level of friendly
bacteria in the Ecopower, and will help
prevent the pond icing over in all but the
severest weather conditions. If the pump is
switched off for winter, the filter media
(foam and/or plastic biomedia) must be
thoroughly washed before resuming
filtration in the spring, and your Ecopower
will need to be re-matured from scratch
(see 'Maturation' 6.0). Never feed your fish
when the filter is not in use.
5.0 FISH STOCKING DENSITY
Under normal conditions and feeding
regime, the Ecopower range will support
up to 36cm of fish (2 fish 18cm long or 6
fish 3cm long per 1000 litres or 10" of fish
per 100 gallons) of pond capacity.
Introduce fish slowly over the first few
weeks, up to 20% of maximum
recommended level, increasing this if you
wish to 50% after six months. The balance
will allow for fish growth.
6.0 MATURATION
Biological maturation means that the filter
has built up sufficient nitrifying bacteria to
convert harmful fish and other organic
waste (i.e. Ammonia, Nitrite) into harmless
Nitrate. The process normally takes 6-8
weeks, but is dependent upon many
factors such as water temperature, feeding
rate and stocking density. It is
recommended that you do not switch your
UVC on during this period. We strongly
recommend the use of Hozelock Cyprio
test kits at all times to check water quality,
but especially during this critical period.
The kits contain full instructions and
invaluable pond management advice.

7.1 Ecopower filters deliver maximum
performance with minimum maintenance.
However, as the foam blocks up less water
can flow through the foam and cleaning
becomes necessary. If the pond is very
dirty, the filter may need cleaning every
few days at first, as it takes up waste
matter very quickly. Once the pond
becomes clearer, there will be less waste to
remove and the filter will need cleaning
less often.
! WARNING: prolonged running of the filter
when it needs cleaning will result in
difficulty in cleaning and may reduce the
life of the foam.
7.2 Switch off and isolate (by removing the
fuse) the pump supplying water to the
filter when it needs cleaning and the
power supply to the Ecopower unit. Gently
remove the lid from the vessel
7.3 Remove the foam and rinse it in the water
left in the vessel (see Fig 12) Do not over
clean. Drain the vessel of all the waste and
water.
7.4 The spray head outlet (see Fig 'I' 7) from
the UVC chamber can be removed for
cleaning if required. Remove the spray
head locking screw (see 'J' Fig 7). Twist
and unlock the bayonet and lift the spray
head away. (see 'I' Fig 7). To replace,
repeat the above in reverse
7.5 Reposition the clean foam. Ensure the
foam is in contact with the walls of the
filter vessel around its entire circumference
and the dimples in the foam are facing
upwards.
7.6 Gently locate the lid onto the vessel and
snap down around the rim. Restart the
pump, checking for leaks which, if left
undetected, could result in the pond being
drained of water. Switch the supply to the
Ecopower on and check via the indicator
(see 'A' Fig 2) that the UVC lamp is
working.
8.0 CARE OF THE UVC QUARTZ TUBE
8.1 Especially in hard water areas the quartz
sleeve sheathing the UVC lamp may
become covered in lime scale. This will
reduce the efficiency of the unit if it is
allowed to build up. To clean, switch off
and isolate (by removing the fuse) the
pump and the power supply to the
Ecopower. Unscrew the four screws and
remove the electrical cover / viewing hatch
as described in 1.5a.
8.2 Remove the UVC lamp as described in 2.2.
Slacken the two quartz clamp screws (see
'K' Fig 9) at both ends to release the
quartz tube. Slide the quartz tube out of

the UVC unit. (See Fig 10) Wipe quartz
tube with a soft cloth moistened with a
gentle cleaning agent (e.g. vinegar)
8.3 Slide the quartz tube back into the UVC
unit, ensuring equal lengths protrude from
both ends of the UVC unit. Tighten the
two quartz clamp screws at both ends to
hold the quartz tube firmly in position.
8.4 Before switching the UVC lamp on restart
the pump checking for leaks. Replace the
electrical cover / viewing hatch
and tighten the four fixing screws.
Providing there are no leaks, switch on the
power supply to the Ecopower.
9.0 WINTER STORAGE
IMPORTANT: When not in use, the unit
should be removed, thoroughly washed
and cleaned, dried and stored in a dry
frost protected area. Always store the unit
with the lid off to ensure adequate
ventilation and drying.
