2.2 Function description
The ProfiClear Premium Moving Bed Module is designed for biological filtering of pond water. Hel-X
biomedia are used as filter elements.
Hel-X biomedia ensure the effective break-down of nutrients and contaminants in the water. Over the
course of time, the surface of the biomedia is colonised by bacteria responsible for nitrification and
denitrification. They clean the water before it leaves the container. The fluidized bed process (action of
the water flow and oxygen supply) and the bypass technology ensure optimum motion of the Hel-X
biomedia even at high flowthrough rates, and removal of dead biomass.
50 l of Hel-X biomedia are able to break down the nutrients from approx. 300 g fish food per day,
given optimum conditions. If required, this can be increased to 75 l, i.e. 450 g/day.
The development of the biology in the filter takes several days. It can be accelerated by adding BioKick
CWS.
Biokick CWS contains millions of active micro-organisms. They start cleaning the water immediately
and act as starter bacteria. The biology in the filter is fully developed within only a few days.
Nitrification is the process by which ammonia/ammonium and nitrite are removed from the water by
special bacteria. These substances can build up in the water, for example as a result of fish food and
fish excrement. Ammonia is particularly toxic for fish.
Nitrification takes place in two steps. In the first step, the bacteria convert the ammonia/ammonium into
nitrite. In the second step, other bacteria convert this nitrite into nitrate, which although non-toxic,
promotes the growth of algae. Both steps use oxygen that is taken from the water.
Denitrification is the process by which nitrate is broken down to nitrite and then gaseous nitrogen. The
bacteria use the nitrate nitrogen as a source of oxygen and convert it into atmospheric nitrogen.
Atmospheric nitrogen cannot be used by algae and aquatic plants. Denitrification only takes place to a
very small extent in an environment with a high oxygen content.
OASE recommends: If you are giving your fish large amounts of food, ensure that there are sufficient
aquatic plants or change the water regularly.

5 Installation and connection
5.1 Installation planning
Note:
Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.
The unit weighs more than 25 kg (oTechnical Data).
Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into
account, you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
ŹAs the filter modules are very heavy when filled, they must be placed on a suitable base (at least on
slabs, but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent them from subsiding.
ŹPlan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
ŹDrain the dirty water into the drain or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot flow back into
the pond.
If the coarse soiling and dirty water both run into the same pipe, it is important to use at least DN
110 pipes.
ŹUse a suitable system for removing coarse soiling, e.g. ProfiClear Premium Drum Filter Module.
5.2 Information regarding pipes
ŹUse suitable pipes.
ŹDo not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
ŹGlue plastic pipes to ensure a permanent and reliable joint or use socket joints with clips to stop
them from coming apart.
ŹStanding water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this
reason, lay the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
ŹFor gravity fed systems, it must be possible to shut off the supply from the pond and the return to the
pond for maintenance and repair work. For this reason, install suitable slide valves.
5.3 Installing the filter module and connecting it to additional filter modules
A maximum of three Moving Bed Modules can be installed one after the other.
2.
How to proceed:
G
1. Push the Moving Bed Module container towards the preceding module (Drum Filter Module or other
Moving Bed Module) until the outlet socket of the preceding module slides inside the rubber socket
of the Moving Bed Module up to the stop.
The slide valves of the soiled water drains are all located on the same side.
2. Secure the connection with a hose clip.
3. First position the hose clip screw at the top, then tighten. This facilitates later installation steps.
Information about the pump fed system!
If no ProfiClear Premium Individual Module is connected to the last Moving Bed Module, OASE
recommends the following: To ensure an optimum water level in the container fit the ProfiClear Premium
discharge set (Order No.: 50949).

24
- GB -
5.4 Pump fed system without ProfiClear Premium Individual Module: Fitting the discharge set
Fit an outlet adapter with DN 110 pipe bend to each DN 150 outlet to ensure a suitable level of water in
the filter container. The height of the pipe bend outlet determines how high the water can rise in the filter
containers. Based on the physical principle of communicating pipes, the water balances out to the same
level in all containers. Ensure that the centre of the pipe bend outlet is 169 mm below the top edge of
the container. It is not necessary to fit pipe bends if the last filter module is a ProfiClear Premium
Individual Module.
OASE provides a suitable discharge set (Order No. 50949). It consists of two pipe bends/DN 110
adapters with holding plate.
4.
How to proceed:
H
1. If not already done: Fit the sealing ring into the wall of the container from the outside.
Ensure that the raised marking is at the top and aligned in relation to the hole pattern.
2. Fit the outlet adapter to the sealing ring.
Ensure that the raised marking is at the top and aligned in relation to the hole pattern.
3. Fasten the sealing ring and outlet adapter from the inside with oval head screws.
Tighten all screws diagonally using the cordless screwdriver to ensure that the sealing ring is
uniformly applied. Further tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
4. Fit the pipe bend set together in the specified order and fasten to the outlet adapter.
5. Guide the holding plate over the pipe bend and align the pipe elements if necessary.
6. Insert the screws with expansion seals through the holes from the inside. Screw the holding plate
from the outside to the container wall with cap nuts.
5.5 Returning the water to the pond
Once it has passed through all the cleaning stages, the clean water has to be returned to the pond.
There are various possibilities for this depending on the system used (please refer to the operating
manual for the Individual Module).

25
- GB -
6 Commissioning/start-up
Two 25 l bags of Hel-X biomedia (50 l) are required for operating a Moving Bed Module. Optionally, 75 l
can be used (supplementary kit Order No.: 51060).
7.
How to proceed:
1. Close the slide valve for the DN 75 dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Fill the container with water:
Pump fed system: Switch on the filter pump.
Gravity fed system: Open the slide valves (supply and return) of the ProfiClear Premium filter
series to allow the water to flow.
4. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
5. Fill the container with Hel-X biomedia.
Ensure that the Hel-X biomedia can move around freely in the container.
It can take several weeks for the Hel-X biomedia to become completely colonised. Uncolonised
Hex-X biomedia tend to float more.
6. Add filter starter BioKick CWS.
7. Fit the container cover.
8. When all filter containers are filled with water, switch on the other electrical units (e.g. filter pumps).
If using filter starters (e.g. OASE BioKick CWS), do not operate any UVC clarifying units for at least
24 hours so as not to disturb the colonisation of the filter media by micro-organisms.

8 Maintenance and cleaning
The filter system is self-cleaning. Dead biomass drops to the bottom and has to be removed. To do this,
open the DN 75 dirt outlet for approx. 10 seconds.
ŹThe entire filter system only needs to be taken out of operation for cleaning and maintenance if it is
extremely soiled.
ŹDo not use any chemical cleaning agents as they would kill the filter bacteria.
9.
How to proceed:
1. Switch off all filter pumps.
2. Switch off all other electrical units of the filter system (e.g. UVC clarifying unit).
3. Only applies to gravity fed systems: Close the slide valves (supply and return) of the filters
connected in series to prevent further water flow.
4. Open the slide valve for the DN 75 dirt outlet at the bottom of the container and dispose of the soiled
water in a permissible way.
5. Carry out cleaning measures.
Rinse the Hel-X biomedia in the container with running water.
6. Close the slide valve (dirt outlet).
7. Start up the filter system again (oStart-up).
8.1 Replace the aerator rod
8.
How to proceed:
I
1. Remove approx. 2/3 of the Hel-X biomedia and keep moist. After completing the maintenance
measures, return the Hel-X biomedia to the container.
2. Pull the aerator rod out of the clamping holder at the bottom of the container.
3. Disconnect the hose from the aerator rod and fit it onto the new aerator rod.
4. Press the new aerator rod into the clamping holder.
