MAINTENANCE

Occasional cleaning of the filter pads will be necessary to
ensure the proper functioning of the filter. All pads should be
removed and washed with clean water when they are visibly
soiled - for best results, clean the filter pads weekly.
Step 1. Before cleaning, always
disconnect the pump from the
power source.
Step 2. Remove the fountain nozzle
or tubing with stepped tubing
adapter.
Step 3. Open the clamps on both
sides of the filter housing and
remove the top.
Step 4. Remove the top filter foam,
the pump, the bottom filter foams,
the gravel bags, and biomedia from
the bottom of the filter.
Filter pads should be replaced
annually. Use smartpond
Replacement Filter Pads model
#70779.
NOTE: The biomedia in your
filter system and the inside
surfaces of the filter contain the
beneficial bacteria. At least once
a year the entire system should
be disassembled and cleaned
thoroughly using warm water.
This should not be done during
the warm season as it may take
up to 8 weeks to re-establish the
environmental balance. The best
time of the year to "breakdown"
your system is in early spring
before the water temperatures
begin to rise. This is also the ideal
time to replace the filter pads.
The exterior surface of the filter
may also need occasional cleaning.
Particularly if the openings in the
top of the filter are obstructed.
