Filtration Process - Tetra Pond BP1500 Guia De Inicio Rapido

1. Pump water from the pond to the pressure filter.
2. Water is mechanically and biologically filtered.
3. Filtered water is forced up the center tube.
4. Filtered water is forced under pressure to the waterfall or stream.
Pumping
Height
Pumping height (also known as head height) is the
vertical measurement from the pond water surface (where
the pump is located) to the highest point where the water
is discharged.
The filter can be hidden behind rocks or bushes and can even be partially buried. If burying the filter, it is recommended that you place
a plastic tub in the hole. This allows easier access to the latches, and makes it easier to remove the filter for winter storage. Plastic tubs
are inexpensive and are widely distributed in stores selling hardware and houseware products. 20-gallon tubs are ideal for this use.
Before attaching tubing to the pressure filter, perform these simple assembly steps:
1. Open filter lid.
2. Pour bio-activators into vessel. (Bio-activators come in a separate plastic bag and are packed with the filter inside the sales box.)
3. Fill the filter vessel up to about 50% with pond water.
4. Place lid back on and close.
NOTE: It is very difficult to assemble the filter if the bio-activators are dry.
1. Dig a hole about 3 inches deeper than the tub. Put a 3-inch layer of stones in the hole for drainage into the soil.
2. Drill 4 to 8 drainage holes in bottom of tub. Place tub in the hole.
3. Put bricks or wood blocks in bottom of tub to elevate the pressure filter to the desired height.
4. Place stones and plants around the filter and tub to hide them.
NOTE: If you bury the filter without a tub, the filter will be difficult to remove.

General Installation Instructions:
• Position the pump far from the waterfall or
stream for maximum pond circulation.
• Position the pressure filter anywhere around
the pond. Since the discharge is under
pressure, it may be located downhill from the
waterfall if you choose.
• Connect pump to the filter with tubing.
• Connect filter discharge port to the waterfall
with tubing.
