) Filter Installation (cont...)
3.2 Connecting Hoses
• The recommended hose size for your filter is stated in the filter performance and specifica-
tion chart. Always secure hose with a stainless steel hose clamp (not included). Warm-
ing the hose in a bucket of warm water can aid fitting. Always ensure that the smaller
diameter hose-tail is cut off and removed to prevent reduced filter performance. Use the
shortest possible hose lengths to minimize flow restrictions. Avoid folds and kinks in the
hose, which will reduce flow and filter performance.
Warning: Cut off the hosetail parts you do not use in order to increase the water flow com-
ing in and going out and avoid creating overpressure. Pay attention to completely remove
the cut hosetail part from the remaining part, in order not to leave plastic residues that
could obstruct or decrease the flow.
3.3 Connecting to your Pump
• The maximum flow rate recommended is stated in the filter performance and specification
chart. This flow should not be exceeded.
• The ideal flow rate for your pond is to pump the volume of the pond water through the filter
every 1-2 hours.
• To increase flow you may need to get a larger pump. If flow is too high use an inline valve
to reduce it. The purpose of the pump is to transfer dirty water from the pond to the filter.
Placing the pump at the opposite end of the pond to the filter will give the best results.
3.4 UVC Bulbs & Quartz Sleeve Maintenance (for Models 60027, 60013, or 60015)
• The UVC bulb must be replaced yearly. It is recommended that the bulb is replaced and
reconnected in spring.
• The Quartz sleeve can become coated in lime scale build up in hard water areas. This should be
carefully removed from the quartz sleeve with a soft cloth and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly.
• A wet test must be carried out after maintenance to ensure that there are no leaks before the
UVC is reconnected.
