-AlwaysdisconnecttheplugsoftheFiltoclearUVCandofalldevices
thatareinthewaterbeforeyoucarryoutanyworkontheFiltoclear!
- For your own safety, contact an electrician if you have any
questionsorproblemsregardingtheelectrical connection!
-Never immersethe device in water!
- Electricalinstallations near garden pondsandswimming pools
must comply with international and national installation
guidelines.
- Keep the connecting points dry!
-Do not carryor pullthe Filtoclearby itsconnecting lead!Protect
the connecting lead from heat, oil and sharp edges.
- Laythehoses and connecting lead in such a way that they are
not an obstacle and do not become damaged!
-Caution! Danger! Never operate the Filtoclear pressure filter
with integrated UVC with a water pressure greater than 2,9 psi (
0,2 bar)! The height difference between the filter lid and the
pressure-free outlet point can therefore be 6,5 feet max. The
maximum delivery pressure of the pump being used must not
exceed 7,25psi ( 0,5 bar).
- Only operate the Filtoclear with pressure hoses that are
approvedforatleast2,9psi(0,2bar),i.e.themaximumpressure
of the pump.
- Check and clean the water outlet to the pond on a regular ba-
sis. The outlet should always be clear, as any blockage would
resultin the filter being operated at a pressure greater than 2,9
psi ( 0,2 bar). This in turn would lead to the risk of leaking and
thereforeofthepondemptyingcompletely.
-Important: When the Filtoclear is being used in ‘filter’ mode,
the cleaning connection or any drainage hose connected to it
must always be sealed with the sealing cap and inserted flat
seal in order to prevent the pond from emptying. At the same
time the sealing cap acts as a safeguard in case the function
switch is accidentally set to ‘Clean’.
- Make sure that the function switch is always set to ‘Filter’ when
the pump is in operation. The function switch may only be set to
‘Clean’whencleaningthefilterspongeswiththehandlefunction.

Installation guidelines with regard to the
Clear Water Guarantee
OASE guarantees that this system will maintain clear water in a
pondinaccordancewiththefollowingdefinitions,installationand
usageguidelines:
Definition of clear water:
Clear water is achieved if the fish or stones at the bottom of the
pond can be seen at a depth of 3,25 feet.
Selecting the right system
Pleaseselect thefiltersystem usingthefollowing table(selection
criteria:pond size and with/without fish population).
E Biological clarifying
Theporesofthe filterspongesformalargeinnersurface
whichmicroorganisms cancolonise.The red andblue filter
sponges differ in size and density. This creates zones in
which the water can flow at different speeds. Zones with a

ismswhichreducenitratetonitrogen(denitrification).
F Water outlet with flow indicator
At the water outlet, the clarified water is fed back into the
gardenpondviaapressure hoseorawatercourseetc.
G Cleaning connection
When cleaning the filter, a drainage hose can be connected
to the cleaning connection which diverts the dirty water into
adrainor onto a flower bed.
H Functionswitch
The function switch is used to switch between normal water

Decide which hose diameter you need based on the selection
table and the recommended hose according to the installation
guidelines for the clear water guarantee (page 9 and 10). Only
operatetheFiltoclearwith pressurehoses thatare approvedfora
pressure of at least 2,9 psi ( 0,2 bar) i.e. the maximum pressure
of the pump. From the OASE range, we recommend the green
spiral hose with the corresponding hose clip.
Note: We recommend warming the hosewithhot water,pushing
/ twisting it onto the spiral stepped hose adapter and securing it
with a hose clip. This makes the connection more watertight.
Important!: To avoid pressure loss, cut the spiral stepped hose
adapter at the relevant point to fit each hose (see illustration).

Connecting to cleaning connection
You can have a drainage hose permanently connected to the
cleaning connection. This allows you to drain the dirty water
directly into the sewerage system or onto a flower bed.
Important!: When the Filtoclear is being used in ‘filter’ mode,
the cleaning connection or any drainage hose connected to it
mustalwaysbe sealed withthe sealingcapand insertedflatseal
inorderto prevent the pond from emptying.At the same time the
sealing cap acts as a safeguard in case the function switch is
accidentally set to ‘Clean’.
To connect the drainage hose, push the union nut onto the
transparent spiral stepped hose adapter. Push / twist the hose
onand securewith a hoseclip. Insertthegreen flowvaneinto the
unionnut andscrew tightontocleaning connection.In ordertobe
able to seal the open end of the drainage hose with the sealing
cap,youneedtopush/twisttheblackspiralsteppedhoseadapter
with thread onto the hose and secure it with a hose clip. Screw
the sealing cap and inserted flat seal on tight.
Connection to water outlet
Push the union nut onto the transparent spiral stepped hose
adapter. Push / twist the hose on and secure with a hose clip.
Insertthe green flow vane into the unionnutand screw tight onto
the water outlet nozzle.
Note: We recommend diverting the cleaned water via a small
watercourse,for example, instead of feeding it directly back into
the pond. This enriches the water with additional oxygen.
Connection at water inlet
Push the union nut onto the black spiral stepped hose adapter.
Push / twist the hose on and secure with a hose clip.
Insert the flat seal into the union nut and screw tight onto the
water inlet nozzle:

Starting up the pressure filter
Important! Before each start-up, you should check that the
connectedhoses, thesealing capand thetensionring withsafety
latch are sitting correctly. The function switch must be set to the
“Filter“symbol. It isimperative that youreadand followthesafety
guidelinesbefore start-up.
1. First switch on the pump
Caution!TheUVClampmustnotbeoperatedwithoutwaterflowing
through it.
2.After starting up the pump, check that all the connections are
watertight.Improve those that are not.
3. Plug the Filtoclear UVC into the mains. The power indicator
lights up with a blue shimmer.
Note: In the case of a new installation, the pressure filter
onlyreachesitsfullbiologicalcleaningeffectivenessafter
a few weeks. Extensive bacterial activity only starts at
temperaturesof + 50°F or above.
Cleaning and maintenance of the Filtoclear
TheFiltoclear pressure filter is largely maintenance-free. The fil-
tersponges should, however,be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning the filter sponges with the handle function
Suspended matter and dirt are deposited in the filter sponges
over time. These deposits reduce the effectiveness of the filter,
sothe filter sponges should be cleaned regularly,e.g. every two
weeks.
Note: The filter sponges should be cleaned when cloudy
or even dirty water flows out of the water outlet and back
into the pond.
You can check how dirty the filter is at the transparent
spiral stepped hose adapter with the green flow vane at
the water outlet.
1. Twist off the sealing cap at the cleaning connection or at the
drainage hose that is connected to the cleaning connection.
Caution: There will be a small flow of water.
2. Pull the function switch up slightly and turn clockwise until it
clicks into the “Clean” position.
3. Pullthe cleaning handle hard and “pump” several times. This
squeezes the filter sponges and cleans them mechanically.
4. Press the cleaning handle down until it hits the lid. The two
O-rings noticably lock into position.

English
5. The filter will now be rinsed clean.As soon as only clean water
canbeseenthroughthetransparentspiralsteppedhoseadapter
at the cleaning connection, pull the function switch up slightly
and turn anti-clockwise until it clicks into the “Filter” position.
6. Screwthe sealing cap with the inserted flat sealtightontothe
cleaningconnection or thedrainage hose thatisconnected to
thecleaning connection.
7. The filter is now operational again. Check the water flow into
thepond at the green flow vane.
Washing the filter sponges
Ifthe water flowis too smalldueto dirty filterspongesand cannot
be improved through cleaning with the handle function, then the
filter sponges must be washed or replaced.
Note: Do not use any chemical cleaning agents so as not to kill
off the microorganisms in the filter sponges.
1. Disconnect the mains plug of the Filtoclear UVC.
2. Switchoff the pump and ensure that it cannot be switched on
unintentionally.
3. Removeall hoses by unscrewingthe union nuts.
4. Removethe tensionring.To dothis,pull back thesafety latch,
push in the fastening hook and open the tension ring.
5. Lift off the lid with the filter sponge assembly. Place the lid
upsidedown on another cleansurface.The filter sponges are
lying with the filter plate facing up.
Wear marking:
Thefilter spongesare pre-stressed.The filterspongescan
fall apart due to the mechanical strain and due to normal
ageing. This can result in a short-circuit in the filter.
To check the filter sponges, they must lie on top of each
other on the lower filter plate without any “air gaps”. The
filtersponges must be replaced if the wearmarkingonthe
upper plate is completely visible (see illustrations)
6. Removeupper filter plate by unscrewing thetwoscrews.
7. Pulloffthe filter sponges and clean under flowing water.Give
the filter sponges a good squeeze.
