people or animals in the pond or suction area.
Before reaching into the water, always unplug
the mains plugs of all equipment in the water.
Compare the mains electrical power supply
with the information on the packaging / on
the model plate on the equipment.

through a residual current protection device
measuring a residual current of 30 mA or less.
Only connect the equipment to a properly
installed socket outlet.
Keep the mains plug and all connection
points dry!
Do not use the equipment in the rain or leave
it out in the rain.

3. Function
The Pond Silt Remover sucks the pond water into the collecting
tank 3via the adapter nozzle 1and suction pipe 2.
When the collecting tank is full, the Pond Silt Remover releases
the dirty water via the drainage hose 4over a 25 second period.
Circulation system:
The water flows back into the pond 5through the fine filter bag.
This means no pond water is lost, and the biological equilibrium
of the pond is maintained. The water that is fed back contains
biologically active floating particles. The resulting turbidity of
the pond can last several days.
Discharge system:
The pond water that is sucked out is discharged into the
environment. The fine filter bag 5can also be used for this.
Fine filter bag:
The particles of dirt and pond silt that are collected in the fine
filter bag 5can be used as fertiliser or disposed of in the
compost.
