FILTREAU COMBI PF20
FUNCTION
The Filtreau Combi PF20 is a low-maintenance filter system that provides healthy, clear water, without the user
having to perform daily maintenance.
The drum filter, combined with the 250L moving-bed bio-chamber, makes the filter suitable for (koi) ponds up to as
much as 35,000L!
The system is fitted as standard with one inlet (110mm) and two outlets (110mm). A water flow of more than 20m3/h
can be achieved with this system!
WARNING! Read the entire manual before use/installation of the system!
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• See Technical specifications for the required mains voltage and current type.
• The device may only be connected to an electrical installation that meets the legal standards. A residual-current
device (30 mA) and earthed wall socket are required. If in doubt, consult a qualified installer.
• Both the Drum Filter and the control box must be installed in a dry, sheltered place. Not in direct sunlight.
• Keep the power plug free from moisture. Prevent water from running along the power lead into the socket.
(See figure 1 for looping of the power lead).
• The device is suitable for fresh water.
• The device is suitable for water temperatures of 4 to 40 °C. If exposed to temperatures outside these limits,
the device must be fully isolated from the water circuit.
• Before commissioning, check the entire device, mains lead and plug for damage. If damage is found,
the device may not be used. Have the damage assessed by the dealer.
• The device may only be switched on when there is sufficient water flow.
• When opening the lid/maintenance cover the power to the device/control box must always be switched off.
Warning! The UV-C lamp may still be hot up to ten minutes after it is switched off.
INSTALLING HIGH PRESSURE PUMP; SEE FIGURE 1
It is important, however, that high-pressure PVC is used for this purpose. The pump generates a pressure of 3 bar.
Pressure peaks of 4 bar may occur during start-up. Therefore do not use sewer & drain PVC.
The high-pressure pump itself must be placed in a moisture-free location below the water level.
Never place the high pressure pump directly on the filter floor.
TIP: Place a ball valve between the output (A1) and the high pressure pump (B).
1. Place a tee at the filter outlet (A). Outlet (A1) of the tee is for the high pressure pump (B); always have this outlet
(A1) pointing down so that water always flows into the high pressure pump.
The other one (C) is used as a return to the pond.
2. Connect the line from the output (A) of the tee to the high-pressure pump (B) and then connect the piping of the
high pressure pump (B) to the spray tube (C).
