The ozelock Cyprio EasyClear™
Fountain or Waterfall pump is
designed for submersible use in
outdoor ponds. It is an integrated unit
that provides Mechanical & Biological
Filtration with an Ultra Violet Clarifier,
Fountain or Waterfall.
The appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
(Australia & NZ only) This appliance is
not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they
have been adequately supervised by
a responsible person to ensure that
they can use the appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
Do not operate or leave the unit in
freezing conditions.
Do not switch the pump on out of
water! The water level should be
above the UVC indicator at the ball
joint (Fig 4A-L).
DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT WITHOUT
THE OUTER CAGE ATTACHED. USING
THE UNIT WITHOUT THE OUTER CAGE
AY INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
The clear tube inside the unit is made
from quartz glass and care should be
taken during installation and
maintenance. We recommend the use
of eye protection and suitable gloves.
The EasyClear 3000 is fitted with a 5W
UVC lamp. Exposure to Ultra Violet
(UV) radiation can be dangerous and
cause damage to eyes and skin. Under
no circumstances should any attempt
be made to gain access to the lamp
when the unit is switched on. When
switched on, the lamp can be checked
for operation by looking for a bluish
glow from the ball joint outlet (Fig 1-
A). Please note that this may only
become visible in low light conditions.
From 1st January 2005 installing this
product in the garden is classed as
'notifiable' in the revised Building
Regulations for England and Wales.
The Regulations now require you to
tell your local authority building
control department that you intend to
install this product before installation.
Your local authority will let you know
how you can get your installation
approved.
To help ensure your EasyClear’s long
life and to prevent damage, it is fitted
with automatic thermal Overload
Protection. This switches the pump or
UV lamp off if either overheats. If this
General Safety &
Guidelines
Overload Protection
Legislation
UV Caution

occurs, switch off the power at the
mains supply to the unit. If it is the
pump that has activated the Overload
Protection, check for the cause (it is
usually debris blocking the inlet of the
pump or obstructing the impeller).
Remove the obstruction and wait 15
minutes for the unit to cool down and.
Then switch it on again.
If it is the UV lamp that is activating
the Overload Protection (pump is still
running but UV lamp keeps going out
after running for a short time), please
contact ozelock Consumer Services
elpline on [phone].
NOTE: YOU UST SWITCH OFF THE
AINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE UNIT WILL
RESET.
Keep the filter working 24 hours a day.
Ideally it should run all year round, but
at least throughout the fish-feeding
season, (i.e. until the water
temperature falls below 10°C and the
fish stop feeding). In winter, operating
the unit will maintain a basic level of
useful bacteria in the Biological Filter,
and will help prevent the pond icing
over. owever, the unit must not be
allowed to freeze. If you switch the
unit off for winter, wash the unit
thoroughly before resuming filtration
in the spring (see ‘Winter Storage’).
Never feed your fish when the unit is
not in use.
• ALWAYS UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT

DOUBT ABOUT WIRING TO THE AINS
SUPPLY.
Position - Construct a solid and level
platform on which to place the
EasyClear™. The platform should be
greater than 300 mm (12") below the
water level. For depths between
300mm and 600mm use the fountain
stem extension segments (Fig 1-F),
which simply screw together, to allow
the fountain to be above the water
level. For general installation see Fig 4
A/B. When using the EasyClear for a
waterfall the entire unit should be
submersed.
Connection - Place the unit next to the
pond and route the cable back to the
mains supply. Ensure that you allow for
enough cable for positioning the
product in the desired location in the
pond.

into the fountain stem extension
segment and screw onto the fountain
outlet (Fig 1-A).
(Fig 4-A for general installation guide)
Please note: The product has a water
by-pass to control water flow rates
which means a quantity of water will
always come out of the product just
below the flow control. This is normal
in operation.
Position the unit in the pond. The
fountain angle can be adjusted to be
vertical using the ball joint (Fig 2-A).
The tightness of the ball joint can be
adjusted (Fig 2-J)
If required, the 2-Tier Fountainhead
can be used to achieve an alternative

0.5m (Fig 4-B).
The UVC will automatically switch on
once the unit has been connected to
the electricity supply.
The UVC lamp can be checked for
operation by looking for a bluish glow
from ball joint outlet (Fig 1-A). Please
note that this may only become visible
in low light conditions.
See Maintenance section for Lamp
replacement.
The ozelock Cyprio EasyClear™ has
been designed to allow fast and easy
maintenance. As with all pond
equipment, occasionally it will become
necessary to clean or replace parts.
Refer to the safety sections before
attempting any maintenance.
Fountain Head (Fig 1-I)
Follow the below procedure if the
fountain head is blocked:
1 - Place a coin or similar in the slot
and gently lever off the fountain head.
2 - Rinse in clean water and
reassemble.
Foam
Follow the below procedure if flow
appears reduced:
1 - Release the Foam Cover by pushing
the two buttons (Fig 5-M) and lift the
cover (Fig 6-N).
2 - Remove the Foam (Fig 7-O). Note:-
If the unit is out of the pond for more
then 20 minutes the biological filter
action may stop working.
3 - The Foam Cover and Base should
also be rinsed.
4 – It may also be necessary to clean
out the biomedia and stones (Fig 7-P) if
these have become clogged.
5 - Reassemble the Filter.
Quartz Tube
Follow the below procedure if your
pond remains green:
1 - Remove the bayonet locking screw
(Fig 8-Q), twist and lift the bayonet
tube (Fig 8-R).
2 - Clean the Quartz Tube. Take extra
care when handling the Quartz tube. In
hard water areas, the quartz tube may
become covered in limescale, which
will reduce efficiency. Clean the tube
with a soft cloth and a gentle de-scaler
(such as vinegar and water), rinse in
water before refitting.
3 – Reassemble the bayonet tube and

restart (Fig 8-S).
Warning! Ensure that the quartz tube
is not damaged before refitting.
Lamp Replacement
Follow the below procedure if the
lamp needs replacing or does not
illuminate:
Change the lamp at the start of the
new season. Even though the lamp still
glows it may not be giving out any
useful UV radiation. ow well the
EasyClear™ performs is related to the
strength of the UV radiation produced.
This will slowly decline from the day
your lamp is switched on. The UVC
lamp has an effective life of 12 months.
You need to change the lamp when
there is a significant reduction in water
clarity. Make sure this is due to an
expired lamp and not a badly
maintained filter or a dirty/limescaled
quartz sleeve. Both can greatly reduce
UV transmission into the water.
1 - Remove the bayonet locking screw
(Fig 8-Q), twist and lift the bayonet
tube (Fig 8-R).
2 - Remove the quartz tube, rotating
the plastic moulding anticlockwise and
lifting up and away (Fig 9-T).
3 - With the lamp now accessible pull it
out of the holder (Fig 9-U) and push in
a new lamp.
4 - Reassemble the bayonet tube and
restart (Fig 8-S).
Warning! Ensure that the quartz tube
is assembled correctly so that it
provides a completely watertight seal.
Check the condition of the two o-rings
on the Quartz Tube Assembly (Fig 11-
3). If these are damaged in any way or
you can not guarantee a water tight
seal, contact Hozelock Consumer
Services.
Biological Filter
Normally, there is no need to remove
the biomedia as any cleaning may kill
the colonies of bacteria that make toxic
waste harmless.
1 - Remove the foam.
2 - The bag of Kaldnes Biomedia (Fig 7-
P) can be removed for cleaning.
3 - Wash in pond water.
4 - Reassemble the filter and restart.
Rotor Cleaning/Replacement
Follow the below procedure if the no
water is being pumped or flow is
reduced:
1 - Release the Foam Cover by pushing
the two buttons (Fig 5-M) and lift the
cover (Fig 6-N).
2 - Remove the foam (Fig 7-O),
biomedia (Fig 7-P) and stone bag.
3 – Turn the unit over and remove the
4 fixing screws (Fig 10-V) and lift the
base clear.
4- Remove the 2 fixing screws (Fig 10-
W) and lift the Pump Assembly clear.
5 - Twist the Pump Chamber anti-
clockwise (Fig 10-X) and lift clear. The
rotor can now be pulled out for
cleaning or replacement ( Fig 10-Y).
Important! Take extra care so as to
not drop any of the small components.
See Fig 10A for assembly of the rotor.
6 - Reassemble the pump and 2 off
fixing screws (Fig 10-W).
7 - Reroute the cable (Fig 10-Z).
8 - Reassemble the filter, and restart.
A quick daily check should be carried
out to ensure that the pump is
performing satisfactorily.
Once a week- Remove the outer casing
and Fountain ead in accordance with
All Year Pump Care

the general maintenance notes.
Depending on pond water conditions,
cleaning may be required more
frequently.
Once a year- Completely disassemble
the unit including the Rotor Assembly
as described in the general
maintenance notes, and wash all
components in clean, freshwater.
Replace worn or broken parts.
When not in use, the unit should be
removed, thoroughly washed and
cleaned, dried and stored in a dry frost
protected area. Always store the unit
with the foam and foam cover off to
ensure adequate ventilation and
