Function description
The filter pump pushes the water into the pressure-tight container where it passes through sev-
eral cleaning stages before returning into the pond.
Cleaning stage “Filtration”
The water flows through the foam filters. Mechanical soiling is retained by the foam filters. Sus-
pended matter and bio sludge settle on the container bottom. Useful bacteria settle on the foam
filters, cleaning the water biologically. Their effect starts at a water temperature of +10 °C.
Foam filter Properties
Blue (10 ppi) High flow rate
Colonisation of bacteria for nitrification, which turns ammonia first into ni-
trite, then into nitrate
Purple (20 ppi)
Red (30 ppi) Lower flow rate
Colonisation of bacteria for nitrification and denitrification, which turns ni-
trate into nitrogen
Cleaning stage “UVC radiation”
Water is subjected to UV-C light from the UVC clarifier. Green algae die, pathogenic agents are
killed.
Bypass
The bypass ensures that only approx. 70 % of the water is subjected to UV-C light. This guaran-
tees sufficient radiation even at high flow rates.
Biological cleaning effect
The maximum biological cleaning effect is achieved when the foam filters are fully colonised by
filter bacteria. On new foam filters, colonisation may take several weeks. Adding starter bacteria
can significantly speed up colonisation.
Cleaning the foam filters
You can use the soiled water from cleaning the foam filters to fertilise your garden.

Installation and connection
Installing the unit
To be taken into consideration for planning:
For operation at a swimming pond: Install the unit at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
For operation at a pond: You can set up the unit directly at the edge of the pond.
Protect the pressure filter from direct sunlight.
Route the return hose into the pond so that the water returns to the pond e.g. through a wa-
ter course. This enriches the water with additional oxygen.
Ensure that the inlet into the pond is max. 2 m above the filter cover.
Burying the pressure filter
A buried container is barely visible. The stone grey FiltoCap (Art. No. 77831) cover available as an
accessory for the filter cover fits seamlessly into the pond scape.
Dig a hole close to the pond and place the container in the hole down to the maximum burying
depth.
The ground must be firm and horizontal.

5000 0.12 m
13000 0.24 m
19000 0.36 m
31000 0.48 m

Installing the pressure filter on level ground
If you choose not to bury the pressure filter, position it so that it is hidden from sight e.g. cov-
ered by bushes.
Install the unit near the pond.
The ground must be firm and horizontal.

Establishing the connections
Hoses with a diameter of 38 mm or 50 mm can be connected to the pressure filter. The respec-
tive hose connectors are part of our scope of delivery.
Use hoses with a diameter of 50 mm to keep the pressure losses in the hoses as low as pos-
sible.
If you use a filter starter for start-up, fill the product into the container prior to carrying out
the following installation steps.
It is easier to remove the filter cover if you first remove all hoses from the filter cover.
Connecting the inlet
Only use pressure hoses approved for at least the maximum pump pressure to connect the out-
let of the filter pump and the inlet of the pressure filter.
Always use a hose clip to fasten the hose on a hose connector.
Connecting the outlet
Use a transparent hose connector with a flow lug. The transparent hose connector will allow you
to assess the water quality after filtration. The flow lug will show you the water flow.
Push the hose onto the hose connector until only two segments on the hose connector re-
main uncovered.
– This will give you a sufficiently large view into the hose connector.
Always use a hose clip to fasten the hose on a hose connector.
