Pumped systems (B) 

Prepare a pit of sufficient dimensions to accommodate the pump chamber M 1. For the dimensions/execution, take the 
following into account: 

•

  distance from the pond edge (B-1) which cannot be flooded and conforms with the regulations. It is not permitted to 

install units operated with a rated voltage of 230 V in swimming ponds. Observe a minimum distance between units 
and pond (e.g. in Germany 2 m, in Switzerland 2.5 m etc.) 

•

  that the inlet sockets must be located 

below

 the pond water level. When in operation, the pond pump must always 

be covered with at least 100 mm water. Danger of running dry and, as a result, damage to the filter pump! 

•

  that the top edges of the pump chamber M 1 must be located 

above

 the pond water level, and that the maximum 

water level in the container is 730 mm above the pit bottom (B-2). This is particularly important, otherwise the filter 
cannot reach its maximum peformance, and, above all, because of the danger of fully emptying the pond! 

Important! Put the system out of operation if these values are exceeded or, above all, fallen below. 

Furthermore, take the following into account: 

•

  the thickness of the slab accommodating the pump chamber M 1 

•

  ensure sufficient room for movement to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work. 

Secure the walls of the pit against ground soil settling (masonry, concrete) and provide a rain water drain. Place the 
pump chamber M 1 and the filter system (M 2/ M 3/ M 4) with a 30 mm gravity in flow direction on a stable and level 
ground (at least slabs, concrete to be preferred). Due to the considerable volume, the weight of the filter modules in 
accordance with the technical data has to be taken into consideration when selecting the base. Ensure the unrestricted 
access to the modules to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work. When installing the filter system, ensure 
that the pond inlet (or start of the water course or waterfall) is not located higher than the filter outlet. 

Module installation 

The filter modules are supplied pre-assembled. Only the connections for the inlet, outlet and dirt outlet must be made 
and connection openings which are not required, properly closed. 

Attention! The unit is heavy. 
Possible consequence:

 Lifting and carrying the unit could put considerable strain on your cardiovascular 

and musculoskeletal system. 

Protective measure:

 Only lift and carry the unit with the help of a second person. 

Inlet installation on the first filter module (C) 

•

  Principle of gravity: Connection of filter modules M 2/ M 3/ M 4 (Figure shows M 1, but applicable to all modules) 

•

  Pumped systems: Connecting the pump chamber M 1 

Fasten the slide to the inlet socket DN 100 using a commercial PVC adhesive. Set sealing ring DN 150 into the con-
tainer opening provided for this purpose and screw connect container and inlet socket from inside. Close filter modules 
openings which are not required using the supplied plugs and sealing rings (D). 

Installation of the outlet of the first filter module 

•

  Principle of gravity (E): Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4) provided for this 

purpose and screw connect the outlet DN 150/1 and the container from inside. Push the O ring (H-1) on the outlet 
socket up to the first recess (H-2). 

•

  Pumped systems (F): Fasten the connection set at the pump chamber M 1 outlet. To avoid pressure loss, minimise 

the length of the hose connection having a largest possible internal diameter without bends and well protected, then 
saw off the stepped hose nozzle at the appropriate points for the individual hose. Heat the hoses in hot water, push 
or screw onto the stepped hose nozzle and secure with a hose clip. 

Installation of the inlet in the second filter module 

•

  Principle of gravity (G): Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4) provided for this 

purpose and screw connect the outlet DN 150/2 and the container from inside. Close filter modules openings which 
are not required using the supplied plugs (D). 

•

  Pumped systems: Fasten a connection set (see F, optional) to one of the small container openings. Close filter 

modules openings which are not required using the supplied plugs and sealing rings (D). 

Installation of the outlet of the second and following filter modules (E) 

Set a sealing ring DN 150 into the opening of container (M 2/ M 3/ M 4) provided for this purpose and screw connect 
the outlet DN 150/1 and the container from inside. Push the O ring onto the outlet socket up to the first recess.
