EasyClear
Clearwater, Fountain & Waterfall Pump
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
INSTALLATION. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
3328 UK
The Hozelock Cyprio EasyClear™
Clearwater, Fountain & 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 and Waterfall outlet.
ATTENTION - UV CAUTION
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 2-
D).
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.
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT.
To help ensure your EasyClear’s long
life and to prevent damage, it is fitted
with automatic thermal overload
protection on the pump and UVC. This
switches the pump or UVC off if either
overheats. If this occurs, switch off the
power at the mains supply to the unit.
Check for the cause (usually it will be
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
automatically reset. Then switch it on
again.
The UVC lamp will still operate if the
pump automatic thermal overload
protection is activated.
NOTE: YOU MUST SWITCH OFF THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE THE UNIT WILL
RESET.
Pond size
The EasyClear™ can maintain ponds of
up to 4000 litres. However, for best
results, certain conditions may need to
be taken into account. Ponds that are
heavily stocked with fish, or less than
0.5 metres (1’8" feet) deep, or situated
in warm climates or exposed to direct
sunlight for long periods of time will
lead to excessive algae growth and fish
activity. This results in greater demands
on the filtration system. The pond
sizing chart at the end of these
instructions give guidlines on
recommended pond sizes, relating to
these conditions.
Periods of Operation
Keep the filter working 24 hours a day.
Ideally it should run all year round, but
at least throughout the fish feeding
season, ( ie 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. However, 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’,
9.0). Never feed your fish when the
unit is not in use.
Maturation
Biological maturation means that the
filter has built up enough nitrifying
bacteria in the Biological Filter to
convert harmful fish waste and other
organic waste (ie Ammonia, Nitrite)
into relatively harmless Nitrate. The
process normally takes 6-8 weeks, but
depends on many factors such as water
temperature, feeding rate and stocking
density.
1.0 IMPORTANT

5.0 MAINTENANCE
The Hozelock 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 section 1 & 2 before attempting any
maintenance.
ALWAYS UNPLUG OR DISCONNECT ALL
APPLIANCES IN THE POND FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE PUTTING
YOUR HANDS IN THE WATER OR
STARTING MAINTENANCE.
5.1 Fountain Head (Fig 2-J)
a - Place a coin or similar in the slot
and gently lever off the fountain
head.
b - Rinse in clean water and
reassemble.
5.2 Foam
a - Release the Foam Cover by
pushing the two grey buttons (Fig 6-R)
and lift the cover (Fig 7-S).
b - Lift the Foam with the Foam
Support (Fig 8-T). Note :- If the unit is
out of the pond for more then 20
minutes the biological filter action
may stop working.
c - Lift the Foam and stone bags off
the Foam Support, rinse all parts in a
bucket of pond water and
reassemble.
d - The Foam Cover and Base should
also be rinsed.
e - Reassemble the Filter.
5.3 Quartz Tube
a - Remove the bayonet locking
screw (Fig 1-A), twist and lift the
bayonet tube (Fig 1-B).
b - Clean the Quartz Tube. Especially
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, rinse in water
before refitting.
5.4 Lamp replacement
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.
a - How 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.
b - Remove the Bayonet Tube
assembly - ref to section 5.3.
c - Remove the quartz tube, rotating
the plastic moulding anticlockwise
and lifting up and away (Fig 9-U).
d - With the lamp now accessible pull
it out of the holder (Fig 9-V) and
push in a new lamp.
e - Reassemble the filter and switch
back on.
5.5 Biological Filter
Normally, there is no need to remove
the bio-media as any cleaning may
kill the colonies of bacteria that
make toxic waste harmless.
a - Remove the foam – ref to section
5.2.

3
b - Remove the 4 off fixing screws
(Fig 10-X) and lift the base clear.
c - The 12 off pieces of Biomedia (3
off either side of the pump) can be
removed for cleaning. 4 off fit into
the base (Fig 10).
d - Wash in pond water.
e - Reassemble the filter and restart.
5.6 Rotor Assembly
a - Remove the foam – ref to section
5.2.
b - Remove the 4 fixing screws (Fig
10-X) and lift the base & biomedia
clear.
c - Remove the 2 fixing screws (Fig

clear.
d - Twist the Pump Chamber anti-
clockwise (Fig 10-Z) and lift clear. The
rotor can now be pulled out for
cleaning or replacement ( Fig 10-AA).
e - Reassemble the pump and 2 off
fixing screws (Fig 10-Y).
f - Reroute the cable(Fig 10-BB).
g - Reassemble the filter, and restart.
6.0 ALL YEAR PUMP CARE
A quick daily check should be carried out
to ensure that the pump is performing
satisfactorily.
