Installation and assembly of Bioclear
Choose a suitable location. Avoid placing the filter in direct sunlight. In that case, it
should be shaded. Place the filter so that there is no risk of water flooding or it may fall
into the pond. Place the filter on a flat surface e.g. a stone slab.
Make sure that there is enough space to work with the filter e.g. backspola.
Connection of the hose to the dam
Decide which hose diameter you want to use and select the appropriate hose adapter.
Only use hoses that can withstand a pressure of at least 0.2 bar. We recommend that you
use 40 or 50 mm hose. The outlet hose must never be narrower than the inlet hose.
Shutdown of the cleaning outlet
When the drain outlet is not in use, the tap on the drain must always be in the closed
position. The cleaning knob is not completely tight and the drain outlet can drip if the
tap is not closed.
Start-up of Bioclear pressure filter
Before starting the filter, make sure that the hose connections, the filter cover and the
clamping ring are fitted correctly. The sealing ring between the lid and the container
must be lubricated with a little silicone grease before tightening the locking ring. The
function knob must be in the "FILTER" position. It is important that you read the safety
regulations before putting the filter into operation.
1. Switch on the pump
NOTE! The UV-C lamp must not be switched on before the water flows through the filter.
2. When you put on the pump, make sure that all hose connections are tight
3. Turn on the UV-C unit
4. The small sight glass on the lid glows blue when the UV-C tube is lit
It can sometimes be difficult to see the blue light. Then look from the side or wait until
the evening when it gets dark.
Hose dimensions
Decide which hose dimension to use and cut the connection
data to the appropriate dimension to avoid pressure losses.
Be sure to use hoses that can handle at least 0.2 bar.
Cleaning and operation
The pressure filter is virtually maintenance-free, but the filter sponges must be cleaned
regularly. As the filter is subject to wear and tear due to operation and weather conditions,
it needs to be maintained regularly to maintain its good function. Over time, sludge
and dirt will block the filter sponges, which must then be cleaned. You notice that the
pressure on the outlet decreases or cloudy water comes out of the filter. It is a good idea
to clean the filter sponges about every 14 days or if you notice that the flow decreases.
1.
Open the cleaning tap or install a hose adapter.
2.
Screw the function knob to the "REWIND" position.
3.
Crank the handle on top of the lid. In this way, the dirt is scraped off
the filter sponges and they are cleaned mechanically. Continue to crank
as long as the water is dirty.
4.
When the filter sponges have been cleaned, clear water comes out of the drain
hose. Then turn the function knob back to the “FILTER” setting.
5.
Close the drain tap.
6.
The filter now works normally again. Check the connections. At least once a
year, the filter MUST be disassembled, cleaned and maintained. Such as O-rings
being replaced or lubricated with silicone grease, to continue to peel in the best
way (Pondteam has sets that contain the necessary parts).
Wash the filter sponges
If the water flow decreases and it does not help to clean through the cleaning crank, you
must remove the sponges and wash them manually or install new ones. Never use any
kind of detergent, as this will kill the beneficial microorganisms found in the filter sponges.
Always mount the filter sponges so that they fill the entire space between the top and
bottom top / bottom plate.
Cleaning / replacing filter sponges
1.
Remove the clamping ring between the container and the lid. Also the loose sprint.
2.
Lift the filter part out of the container. Place the landscape in a suitable place.
3.
Remove the protective tube from the UV part.
4.
The base plate can now be carefully removed from the center. (UV part)
and turned to the side.
5.
You can now remove the filter sponges. The plastic holders in the middle
of the sponges are easy to remove. Carefully lift the lid away from the
small buttons that hold it together.
6.
The filter sponges are rinsed in dusty water or lukewarm tap water.
Squeeze out the sponges until the water is clean.
7.
Reassemble the plastic holders on the sponges and put them back in the
same order as before cleaning.
