Installation planning
WARNING
Risk of severe injuries or death by electric shock.
Protective measures for swimming ponds:
Only use electrical units or installations with a rated voltage of U ≤12 V in the water.
Electrical installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V must be located at a distance of at least
2 m from the water
WARNING
Due to the high weight of the unit, spinal injuries or crushing of limbs is possible when carrying
the unit. The unit weighs more than 25 kg.
Have at least four people carry the container exclusively on the handles to avoid spinal inju-
ries.
Protect your limbs from crushing injuries.
Do not transport the container when it is filled with water.
Electrical components of the filter system operate with a rated voltage of UDC = 12 V. The supply
voltage is supplied via an external transformer connected to the mains.
Filter system with UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system and transformer must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the
water.
Filter system without UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system can be installed directly next to the water. The transformer must be lo-
cated at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
Optimum operating results can be obtained with careful planning, taking the ambient conditions
into account.
As the filter is very heavy when filled, it must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs,
but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from subsiding.
Align the base slab horizontally.
Ensure sufficient room for movement for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
Allow the dirty water to drain out into a drain or far enough away from the pond to ensure
that it cannot flow back into the pond.
Do not position the inlet into the pond higher than the outlet of the filter system (e.g. above a
water course or waterfall).
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond.
In this way, the filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the
pond.

Inlets
The filter system has two inlets with stepped hose adapters.
For connecting a filter pump
For connecting a UVC clarifier (→ Connecting a UVC clarifier)
If an inlet is not used, fit a closed stepped hose adapter.
– The stepped hose adapters are delivered closed.
Prerequisite:
The container is open. (→ Remove the container cover)
The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
Connecting the filter pump
How to proceed:
1. Shorten the stepped hose adapter to the diameter of the hose used.
– This reduces pressure losses.
2. Insert the stepped hose adapter with flat seal into the inlet opening.
3. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– BioTec ScreenMatic²145000: Alternatively you can fit a 50 mm hose sleeve.
4. Slip the hose clip over the hose, fit the hose onto the hose connector and secure with the
hose clip.

Connecting a UVC clarifier
Fitting the outlet
Prerequisite:
The container is open. (→ Remove the container cover)
The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
How to proceed:
1. Fit the UVC clarifier with flat seal into the inlet opening.
2. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– Read the UVC clarifier operating instructions.
BTC0059
Outlets
Use suitable pipes.
Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
Standing 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.
Pipe dimensions: (→ Unit data)
Support the connected pipes. This increases the stability of pipe constructions and pre-
vents them from sagging.

Fitting the outlet
BioTec ScreenMatic²145000: The outlet is not fitted on delivery.
Prerequisite:
The container is open. (→ Remove the container cover)
How to proceed:
1. Push the O-ring onto the outlet.
2. Position the outlet in the container wall from the outside.
– Ensure that the marking points up and is aligned with the holes in the container wall.
3. Use three oval head screws to screw the outlet to the container wall from the inside.
– Tighten the screws diagonally to ensure that the seal is uniformly applied.
– If you are using a cordless screwdriver: Do not set the screwdriver to “drill” to prevent dam-
age to the self-tapped thread. Then re-tighten the screws with a Torx screwdriver.
