The PondMAX All-In-One SF650 Filter System is designed to clean ponds and water features utilizing the latest
technology as follows:
•Mechanical & Biological Filtration
•13 Watt Ultraviolet Clarifier for prevention
of unsightly organtic matter.
•Powerful 660 GPH pump with wear
restant components.
•Dual Flow Control T-Piece
•Multiple fountain nozzles help aerate water.
•Low-Voltage Power System for safe in-pond
operation.
Any damage of the equipment or unmerited operation will
bring dangerous UV Rays to the skin and eyes. So if there
is any damage of the equipment, it must not be used. The
equipment should always be out of reach of children.

For your safety, disconnect from the power supply
before any maintenance of any equipment in pond is
attempted.
Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the
water. The depth should not be greater than 3ft.
Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any
component of the system, such as power cable, have
been damaged.
For safety, always plug the pump into an electrical
outlet with a (GCFI) Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
To avoid an electric shock, do not attach the plug to the
power supply socket with wet hands. The drip loop
method should be used to prevent water from traveling
down the cable and onto the plug or power supply.
If the plug does get wet, do not unplug the cable.
Disconnect the circuit breaker that supplies power to
the power supply point. Then unplug and examine the
plug and power supply point for presence of water. If
the power point has become wet, you should consult an
electrician before using the power point again.
Always unplug the pump from the power supply when
not in use
or before performing any maintenance on the pump or
in the pond. Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug
from the power supply. Grasp the plug and pull firmly to
disconnect.
Always unplug the appliance from the power supply
when not in use or before performing any maintenance.
If required, have a qualified electrician install a
weatherproof power supply near the pond or water
feature (within the cable length of the SF650).
Do not install or store the unit where it will be exposed
to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not use in
water temperatures that exceed 95°F.
Do not cut the cable as this may result in voiding your
warranty.
Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so
that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance
yourself. Return to a PondMAX authorized dealer or
original place of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular
maintenance is not considered repair and is required by
user).

FILTER KIT
Do not look at a unshielded UV Clarifier bulb. Ultraviolet light is harmful to your eyes and may cause blindness. Do not
operate UV bulb out of the plastic housing.
As the UV Clarifier bulb and quartz sleeve are made of glass, please avoid sudden movement or rough handling, as
this could potentially break the glass.
In cold temperatures where frost or freezing may occur, please cease to use the unit. Remove from the environment.
Frozen water will crack the quartz sleeve.
Once a fountain nozzle has been selected, assemble the fountain kit as per the diagram later on in this manual. First
screw the T-Piece onto the pump outlet (1/2" male threaded adapter) and adjust the telescopic riser to the desired
height and align vertically for even water flow. On the dual-control flow adjuster, on the T-Piece, you can restrict flow
from pump to both the fountain nozzle or the optional waterfall outlet. Close the second outlet of the T-Piece if this is
not required for an optional waterfall.
Position the devise in the pond or water feature horizontally, on a solid base free of sludge and debris, in such a
manner that the filter cover of unit is completely covered with water but the fountain kit protruding out of the water.
Now go ahead and firmly plug the power cable into the nearest electrical outlet, supplied with a (GCFI) Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter.
Take off the fountain nozzle kit first, and then open the 4 clips (2 on each side) on the side of the filter.
Take out the filter sponge and filter media cartridge boxes and clean them. It is recommended that this is done in a
bucket of pond water to ensure the good bacteria are not depleted by the chlorine/chloramine typically found in tap
water. Always check for wear and tear of the sponge and replace if necessary. Maintain the filter sponge regularly
according to how quickly the sponge gets clogged up. When the flow starts to get reduced, check and clean if
necessary.
UV CLARIFIER: You can help boost the biological function of your filter with a PondMAX bacterial additive, available
at your local PondMAX authorized dealer.
The UV Clarifier lamp should be replaced regularly at the end of its design life (between 9-12 months). To replace the
UV Clarifier bulb you will need to remove the fountain nozzle kit and the plastic filter cover, exposing the inside of
unit. The UV Clarifier is a cylindrical shaped piece of black plastic, which extends from one end to the other. There are
2 Phillips head screws holding the UV Clarifier in, one connects the UV body to the bottom of filter body and the
other secures the power cable where it exits the filter body. Remove both screws, making sure to place them in a
secure place where they wont get misplaced. Now you can remove the UV Clarifier and the pump together taking
care not to damage anything. The pump is connected to the UV Clarifier via a plastic elbow and also the pump power
cable. Place the UV Clarifier and pump on a flat surface such as a table or counter top, then place one hand where
power cable enters UV and the other hand firmly gripped on the UV body. Then twist the UV body counter clockwise
to the stop position and then slide out the unit, exposing the quartz sleeve and lamp. Remove the quartz sleeve by
loosening the thread on the locking ring near its base. Apply a little pressure and twist the quartz sleeve gently away
from the electrical assembly. Now the lamp is clearly accessible and can be removed by pulling on it gently but first,
make sure to use a cloth or gloves, so as not to touch the lamp directly with your fingers. Replace the lamp if
necessary and then reassemble unit in reverse manner. Make sure to always clean the quartz sleeve and thoroughly
inspect all o-rings/gaskets while UV is apart.
PUMP: To carry out maintenance on the pump, turn the impeller cover in a counter clock direction to the stop
position. Now separate the impeller cover and pump body. Take out the impeller, clean it with clean water and a
suitable brush. Inspect for excess wear and replace if necessary. Once the cleaning and inspection process is
completed, reassemble the pump in reverse manner. The pump suction elbow is pushed firmly onto the inlet on
pump impeller cover. Pay attention to the UV Clarifier casing when inserting it back together as the inspecion hole
needs to be positioned towards the top.
