The device is intended for mechanical and biological 
cleaning of garden ponds.
The UVC lamp built into the device is used to kill algae 
and bacteria in the pond water. Its radiation is hazard-
ous to the eyes and skin even in small doses. The UVC 
lamp should never be used in a defective housing or 
outside its housing or for other purposes.

General safety instructions

m

 WARNING - Read all safety information, instruc-

tions, illustrations and technical data for this elec-
tric tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result 

in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. 

•  Dangerous ultraviolet radiation. The rays of the UVC 

lamp are harmful to the eyes and skin. Never use the 
lamp outside its housing!

• 

The pond pressure filter must be set up at least two 

metres away from the pond to prevent it from falling 
in or a surge of water from the pond from damaging 
the device.

•  The external pump must be switched on before the 

UVC lamp and the lamp should never be switched 

on  without  water  flowing  through  it,  as  this  could 

damage the device.

•  Extension cables and power cables must be in-

spected regularly.  Defective cables or cables not 
designed for this purpose must not be used.

•  The mains cable of this device cannot be replaced. 

If the cable has been damaged, the device must be 
scrapped.

•  If the device shows signs of damage, it must not be 

put into operation and must be repaired by a quali-

fied individual.

•  Do not use the device while people are in the water.
•  If the device will not be used for a long period of time, 

it must be stored in a dry place and protected from 

other weather influences.

•  The built-in temperature sensor automatically 

switches  off  the  UV  lamp  if  overheating  occurs.

  It 

is also switched on again after the temperature has 
returned to a normal level.

•  Never open the housing or the lamp unless this is 

explicitly stated in these instructions! Failure to com-
ply may result in injury and damage to the device.

•  This device may only be connected to a mains sup-

ply with the appropriate current consumption.

•  In accordance with regulations, this device must 

be connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz protective contact 
socket. To this end, refer to the information on the 
type plate.

•  Ensure that the device is supplied via a residual cur-

rent device (RCD) with a rated current of no more 
than 30 mA.

•  For your own safety, consult an electrician if you are 

unsure about connecting the electrical parts.

•  Make sure that the sockets and their connections 

are protected against flooding and moisture.

•  The installation site must have a drain for accumu-

lated  water  or  be  elevated  so  that  flooding  cannot 

occur.

•  Ensure that the device, as well as all connectors 

and extension cables, are protected from splashing 
water.
