The ALL IN ONE FILTER SYSTEM is a compact filter for ponds, water gardens and fountains easy to install and designed

for easy maintenance. Besides offering 2 different fountain spray patterns, it performs three different filtering functions:

1. Multi Layer MECHANICAL Filtration to remove solids.

2. BIOLOGICAL Filtration to promote beneficial bacterial growth.

3. ULTRAVIOLET STERILIZATION puts out 13 Watts of intense UV light to kill free floating algae. The ultraviolet sterilizer

has a separate plug so that you can operate it only when needed.

Setup and Maintenance: Please refer to the parts guide for individual part’s explanation.

Initial Setup:

Step – 1: Remove the Layer Locking Assembly (Item # 7,8,9) that is holding down the Housing Cover Top. Take off the

layer (s) (Item # 1) by gently sliding out the locking Notches (as see in Fig. 1)

Inspect the Pump (Item # 24)and UV Chamber (Item # 11). Both should be locked in place. The Biological Media bag

(Item # 10) should be placed by the UV Chamber Opening and the pump base should be locked in place. The O-Ring on

the Pump to UV Chamber Adapter (Item # 22) should be in position on the grey pump volute and properly inserted into

with UV Chamber Housing (as seen in Fig. 2).

Step – 2: Once all the parts are inspected for correct positioning make sure that the pump cable is running through the

locks and is locked in place with the Rubber Cord Grommet (Item # 20) (as seen in Fig. 2A).

Step – 3: Correctly place the layer (s) back on the base by sliding the Locking notches into the Notch Holders. Similarly

place the Top Housing Cover and Lock it in with the Locking Assembly. Now you are ready to put the 1” Nipple, Leveling

Fitting for Fountain Kit, Diverter Valve and the Fountain Kit Complete (in the same order) (Item # 3,4,5,6).

UV Installation:

Put the UV bulb (Item # 13) in the 2-Pin Ballast connector (Item # 14). Slide the black rubber Gasket of Quartz Sleeve

(Item # 16) onto the open rim of the Quartz Sleeve (Item # 15) so that the flat end of the gasket faces out to the Clear UV

Cover. Slide the Quartz Sleeve (Item # 16) into the round notch of the Clear UV Cover (Item # 19). Now hold the Clear UV

Cover and slide the quartz sleeve into the UV Chamber. Align the two Guide Notches with the opening on the Clear UV

Cover. Close the Nut and hand tighten only.

Pump Installation:

It is recommended that you service the Quiet One Pump (Item # 24) every three month to enhance its efficiency and the

life of the moving parts. Before you start to service the pump – first “REMOVE” the UV bulb (Item # 13) and Sleeve (Item #

15) from the unit. Not doing this first you risk cracking the Quartz Sleeve and UV Bulb. To service the pump follow Step –

1 to remove the top cover, Filter layers and the Biological media bag. With the Quartz Sleeve and UV Bulb out of the

chamber remove the UV housing Cover by removing the screws that hold it in place (as seen in Fig. 4).

Step – 4: Gently slide the UV Housing Cover (Item # 11) by first sliding it out from the pump and then the base UV seal.

The pump is locked onto the base with horizontal notches (as seen in Fig. 5). NOTE the position of the pump when it is

locked onto the base. Once this process is complete you will have to lock the pump back into the same position. With the

pump fully exposed push it out horizontally along the notches. NOTE – You may have to place the filter base sideways

and push the pump into the grove until you hear a locking clock sound. Similarly push in the opposite direction to take the

pump out of the grove.

Vertical pull may result in damaging the base or the pump. With the pump out remove the grey pump volute by twisting it

counter clockwise. This will expose the impeller and shaft of the pump. Inspect all parts for any debris. Use a brush to

remove any debris.

Recommendation: It is recommended to use Lifegard Silicon Lubricant (Item # R172036) on all rubber O-rings and the

impeller and shaft of the pump. After servicing the pump replace the pump back onto the base by following Step – 4 in

reverse. Make sure to slide the pump back onto the base until it is locked and you hear a locking click. If the pump is not

all the way locked the UV chamber will not fit properly. Reinstall the Pump to UV Chamber Adapter (as shown in Fig – 6).

Step – 5: Run the pump cord along the cord holders on the base and reinstall the Rubber Cord Grommet (as shown in Fig

– 7) (Item # 20)

Step – 6: Start to reinstall the UV Housing Chamber (Item # 11) by first installing the open end of the Housing that goes

over the “O” ring for the Internal UV Housing (Item # 17). Slide it gently and press the end that connects to the pump by

Pulling the pump Vertically will result in damaging the filter base and the pump. With the pump out now you can remove

the grey volute by twisting it counter clockwise. This will expose the impeller and shaft of the pump. Inspect all parts for

any debris. Use a brush to remove any debris. NOTE the position of the pump when it is locked onto the base. The pump

is properly locked once it slides over the Locking Notch (as seen in Fig – 4C). Note – If the pump is not installed properly

the UV Housing Cover will not align properly. Once this process is complete you will have to lock the pump back into the

same position. With the pump fully exposed push it out horizontally along the notches.

Recommendation: It is recommended to use Lifegard Silicone Lubricant (Part # R172036) on all rubber O-rings and the

impeller and shaft of the pump. After servicing the pump replace the pump back onto the base by following Step – 4 in

reverse. Make sure to slide the pump back onto the base until it is locked and you hear a locking click. If the pump is not

locked all the way the UV chamber will not fit properly. Reinstall the Pump to UV Chamber Adapter (as shown in Fig – 6).

Step – 5: Run the pump cord along the cord holders on the base and reinstall the Rubber Cord Grommet (Item # 20) (as
