WARNING: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION FIRST. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - Please Read Carefully Never look directly at an illuminated UV bulb. Do not run this unit dry.

Always disconnect all pond appliances from the mains supply before putting your hands into the water.
INTRODUCING THE EAZYPOD COMPLETE Congratulations on purchasing an Evolution Aqua EazyPod Complete. The EazyPod Complete is an adaption of one of Evolution Aqua’s most successful filters, the EazyPod. The EazyPod Complete is a mechanical and biological filter system with an integrated 18 Watt UV clarifier. The EazyPod Complete is ideal for all ponds of up to 10,000litres.
OVERVIEW The concept of the EazyPod Complete is simple and yet innovative. Water enters via the inlet (A) and passes over an 18 watt UV Clarifying bulb (N), helping to kill any single celled algae in the water. The water then enters the outer chamber (B), which runs around the entire circumference of the EazyPod. Between the outer chamber (B) and the inner chamber (C), is a stainless steel perforated screen (I). These perforations are situated in the lower half of the screen and around its entire face.

INSTALLATION PLEASE NOTE: EazyPod Complete is designed to be used on a Pump Fed set-up only. We do not recommend installing the EazyPod Complete on a Gravity Fed set-up. The diagram below shows the EazyPod Complete on a typical Pump Fed set-up. A Pump Fed set-up is when water is pumped from the pond to the filter.
INSTALLATION PREPARATION A solid, level base is required. It should be a minimum of 600mm x 600mm, to allow easy access to your valves and for maintenance purposes. Important: The EazyPod Complete filter needs to be supported evenly on a level base (a paving flag is ideal). Failure to do so could cause damage when it is full of water. INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT 1. P ond Pump. Please ensure that the pump’s maximum actual flow rate is no more than the specified limits (see page 6). 2.
INSTALLATION The EazyPod Complete comes to you ready to be installed on a PUMP FED set-up - no changes to any of the fittings are required. The EazyPod Complete should be situated at a height above the pond water level, to allow adequate gravity return to the pond (subject to the maximum performance of your chosen pump).
AIR PUMP INSTALLATION Now that you have your EazyPod Complete installed, you will need to connect your air pump to the EazyPod Complete for the cleaning cycle. This will agitate the K1 media so that the waste which has collected in the media can be removed from the system. We recommend an EA AirPump 70. The air pump is connected to the air ring inlet using a garden hose or braided pipe (10 mm inner diameter). The air ring inlet is positioned on the outside of the EazyPod Complete.
K1 MEDIA INSTALLATION Now that you have your EazyPod Complete installed, you will need to add the 30 litres of K1 Media that was supplied with the EazyPod Complete. Simply empty the entire bag into the inner chamber (C). CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY Electrical installations must be done by a qualified electrician. The power supply must meet the specifications on the product. The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code: Brown = Live. Blue = Neutral.
COMMISSIONING & SWITCHING ON THE EAZYPOD COMPLETE Before you run your EazyPod Complete, you should first check that you have installed the filter and pipework correctly. Having taken a last look at your pipework to ensure that everything looks right, switch on the circulating pond pump, and check for any leaks. Only after you have satisfied yourself that the EazyPod Complete is installed correctly should you switch on the electricity supply to the unit. Your EazyPod Complete is now up and running.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning and maintaining the EazyPod Complete will depend on flow rate, feed, stocking, blanket weed etc. An EazyPod Complete on a summer pond with heavy blanket weed will need more frequent maintenance than a pond in December with no food fed. Be aware that any movement of the K1 Media in the EazyPod Complete whilst the pond pump is in operation will dislodge the waste collected and will be sent back to the pond and clarity will suffer.
CLEANING THE EAZYPOD COMPLETE 1. Insert the cleaning pipe into the plastic return pipe (F). This will prevent waste going back to the pond and maintain the water level in the Pod whilst cleaning it. See image on the right. 2. When the water level in chamber B is just level with the overflow assembly, close slide valve (M) on your inlet pressure line. Ensure that this is fully closed as it is essential that this water level is maintained to allow efficient cleaning.
CLEANING THE UV QUARTZ GLASS ALWAYS ISOLATE THE UNIT FROM ANY ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. If you notice an increase in algae formation and/or see that limescale is forming, you will need to check that the UV bulb is working properly. To ensure peak efficiency, the UV bulb must be replaced every 8000 hours of operation. How to Clean the UV Quartz glass: 1. 2. 3. Unplug the UV light’s power plug. Switch off the water pump.
REPLACING THE UV BULB ALWAYS ISOLATE THE UNIT FROM ANY ELECTRICITY AND WATER SUPPLIES BEFORE CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. If you notice an increase in algae formation and/or see that limescale is forming, you will need to check that the UV bulb is working properly. To ensure peak efficiency, the UV bulb must be replaced every 8000 hours of operation. To Replace the UV Bulb: (You will to purchase a replacement 18 Watt PL-L UV Bulb) 1. Unplug the light’s power plug. 2. Switch off the water pump. 3.
