Function description
Figure (A)
A filter pump (only contained as a set in the scope of delivery) presses the water into a pressure-tight container, where
it passes several cleaning stages before returned into the pond. The soiled water resulting from cleaning the unit can
be used to fertilise the garden.
Figure B
Cleaning stage "filtering": The water flows through the foam filters. Mechanical soiling is retained by the foam filters.
Suspended matter and bio sludge settle on the container bottom. Usseful bacteria settle on the foam filters, cleaning
the water biologically. Their effect starts at a water temperature of 50 °F (+ 10 °C).
Coarse foam filters (blue)
Fine foam filters (red)
high flow rate
low flow rate
Bacteria for nitrification
Bacteria for nitrification and denitrification
Ammonia -> nitrite -> nitrate reaction
Nitrate -> nitrogen reaction
Cleaning stage "radiation": The water is radiated with the ultra-violet light from a UV-C lamp. Green algae die, patho-
genic agents are killed.
Bypass: A bypass ensures that only part of the returning water (approx. 25 %) is radiated. In this manner a sufficient
radiation duration is obtained even at a high circulation rate.
Filter starter: The unit only reaches its full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. The formation of a bacterial
community on the foam filters can be notably accelerated by adding filter starter bacteria.

Descripción del funcionamiento
Ilustración (A)
Una bomba de filtro (sólo incluida en el juego de suministro) presiona el agua en un recipiente hermético en el cual
pasa por diferentes fases de limpieza y retorna después al estanque. El agua sucia que surge durante la limpieza del
equipo se puede utilizar para fertilizar el jardín.
Ilustración (B)
Fase de limpieza “Filtrar”: El agua fluye por las esponjas de filtrado. Las esponjas de filtrado retienen la suciedad me-
cánica. Las partículas en suspensión y el cieno activado bajan al fondo del recipiente. Bacterias útiles habitan en las
esponjas de filtrado y limpian el agua de forma biológica. Su actividad empieza a partir de una temperatura del agua
de 50 °F (+ 10 °C).
Esponjas de filtrado gruesas (azul)
Esponjas de filtrado finas (rojo)
alta velocidad de circulación
más baja velocidad de circulación
Bacterias para la nitrificación
Bacterias para la nitrificación y la desnitrificación
Conversión de amonio ->nitrito ->nitrato
Conversión de nitrato ->nitrógeno
Fase de limpieza “Radiar”: El agua se somete a la luz ultravioleta de una lámpara UV-C. Las algas en suspensión se
destruyen y los agentes patógenos se eliminan.
Bypass: Un bypass garantiza que la radiación influya sólo en una parte del agua que retorna (aprox. 25 %) para lograr
una duración de la radiación suficiente también con una alta circulación.
Activador de filtrado: El equipo alcanza su pleno efecto limpiador biológico sólo después de algunas semanas. La adi-
ción de bacterias activadoras de filtrado acelera considerablemente la colonización de las esponjas de filtrado por bac-
terias de filtrado.

Montaje de la unidad de salida de agua sucia
El agua sucia que surge durante la limpieza del equipo se puede utilizar para fertilizar. Recomendación: Conecte una
manguera de salida apropiada (no incluida en el suministro) y tiéndala hasta un punto adecuado (p. ej. un arriate).
Proceda de la forma siguiente:
•Desenrosque la tapa de cierre (9) del racor de salida de agua sucia (7).
•Coloque la tuerca racor (26) en la boquilla de manguera transparente (20).
•Coloque el medidor de paso (28) en la tuerca racor.
•Fije la boquilla de manguera con la tuerca racor en el racor.
•Coloque la abrazadera de manguera (29) en la manguera (30).
•Coloque la manguera en la boquilla de manguera y asegúrela con la abrazadera. Deje el último segmento libre como
mirilla para la circulación y la suciedad (D).
Cierre de la unidad de salida de agua sucia
Nota:
Durante el filtrado el racor de agua sucia (7) o una manguera (30) conectada en este racor siempre tiene que
estar cerrada con una tapa de cierre (9) con junta plana insertada. Esto evita una vaciado no intencionado
del estanque.
Proceda de la forma siguiente:
•Coloque la abrazadera de manguera (29) en la manguera (30).
•Ponga la boquilla de manguera (23) en la manguera y asegúrela con la abrazadera.
•Cierre la boquilla de manguera con la tapa de cierre y la junta plana insertada (9).
