Step 7
Connect the filter inlet hose
to a pump (not included) on
the bottom of your pond.
Then place the discharge
hose along a water course
or waterfall so filtered water
can return to the pond
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified by a marking "Acceptable for use with
outdoor appliances; store indoors when not in use." Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the
product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension
cords and do not yank on the cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always
disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
CLEANING
For best results, your Pump Bio-Filter should be operated 24 hours a day. When the water flow from the Discharge appears to slow
down, unplug the power cord before releasing the CLAMP LID to clean the 3 filters. Although the filters should be cleaned on a routine
basis, the Biological Balls should NOT be cleaned during the warm weather season. Doing so will destroy the bacteria needed to make
the Bio-Filter function and a new colony must be established. It may take up to 9 weeks for a bio-filter bacteria colony to become
mature. Rinse all parts only in the fall or winter months. Replace Filters in order: the Fine Filter on top of the Bio-Balls, the Medium Filter
and then the Coarse Filter on top. This is also a good time to replace the 9-Watt Bulb.
STEP 5
Place one SPACER in each HOSE CONNECTOR and
twist Clockwise onto EACH OUTLET.
STEP 6
Measure and cut corrugated tubing (not included). Use the
shortest length as possible. Attach hose to connector, at
the INLET and the DISCHARGE, by twisting and pushing
the hose until secure.
