Placing In Service; Maintenance And Care - T.I.P. MTS 5000 UV 7 Instrucciones Para El Manejo

Insert the 12 bioballs (11) into the three compartments of the container (12).
Open the air-tight bags and place the sponges (10) in the three compartments on the bioballs (sponges will
gradually return to their original size).
Connect the pump with the UVC lamp with the hose and the joints (6+15) provided.
Make sure the inflow sealing (8) is inserted. Screw the filter cap (16) to the inflow cover (19). After having
mounted the pre-filter, immerse the pump, being careful that the suction system is distanced from the
bottom.
To start the filter, insert the plugs of both the pump and lamp.
WARNING: Temporarily suspend the use of the UVC lamp if treating either water or fish.
ATTENTION:
- The filter must be placed above the water level of the pond.
- The filter must be positioned in horizontal position (to avoid any spill over of the water).
- To ensure the outflow of the water, the outlet of the filter shall not get reduced. In case an outlet hose or
outlet tube shall be used, make sure it is installed on a low slope towards the pond.
1.4. Setting up at the garden pond
Place the filter above the water level (filter outflow at least 15 cm above the water surface) and ensure that
the filter is at least 2 meters away from your pond. The container should be placed horizontally on a solid
substrate (stone slab). Ensure, that it cannot fall into the water and that the installation area of the filter
cannot be flooded.
It is best to set up the filter where it is in the shade. If the interior of your filter should become very hot, then
its capacity is reduced.
Always use the shortest possible hose length and avoid kinking the hose
For biological reasons, the immersion depth of the pond pump should be approx. 40 cm for optimal function
of the filter system. Ensure that the pond pump is placed on a silt-free substrate (stone slab).

Placing in service

Attention! Comply with the safety measures specified for the UVC emitter and the pump (see above)!
(See the provided operating instructions).
Install the connection socket outlet in the water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the edge
of the pond!
Connect the pond pump to the mains supply, plug the mains plug into the socket outlet.
The pond pump pumps the contaminated water into the filter through the UVC emitter
Check whether the hose is connected so that it is watertight.
Connect the UVC emitter to the mains supply, plug the mains plug into the socket outlet.
You can check the function of the UVC tube through a bluish light at the socket of the UVC emitter.
For this filter system we recommend continuous operation (24 hours a day), in the season months March to
October.
Attention! The function of the filter system must be checked at regular intervals!
Initially the filter system should be checked at least 1x daily. Leaves, grass, and animal hair, for example can
quickly clog the filter sponges (34-36).
Consequently select the cleaning intervals based on the type and the extent of contamination in your pond.

6. Maintenance and care

Attention! Before performing any installation or maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical devices
immersed in the pond from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet
Attention! The power cord of this device cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the UVC emitter
contained in the filter, including the ballast, is unusable and must be properly disposed of. Repair is not
possible because the connecting lines are permanently cast.
1.6. Cleaning of the pump
- Shut off the electric power supply before with the installation.
- Ensure that filter cap (16) of the pump is not blocked by leaves or dirt. Clean it in case of need.
- Pull off the inflow cover (19). Pull the rotor (17) out of the motor housing (14).
