WARNING!
• The filter has been designed to work in fresh water ponds.
• Do not submerse the filter in the water.
• Any pond related electrical equipment requires a GFI protected circuit. Always have a
qualified electrician install any electrical outlets. Test your GFI outlet on a regular basis.
• Make sure that the product is compatible with the features of your electric system.
• Never pull the electric cable.
• Before handling the filter make sure to unplug all devices associated with the filter.
1) Installation
Positioning the Filter
• The filter must not be buried and must be positioned out of the pond.
• The drain tap and the drain valve (13-14) must be easily accessible.
• The filter must be positioned on a firm base and must be able to hold the
weight once full of water.
• Once installed and refilled with water, the filter cannot be removed.
Adding the Beads
• Make sure the bottom drain and drain plug (13-14) are closed.
• FIRST: FILL THE FILTER WITH WATER UNTIL IT’S ¾ FULL: IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE WATER
INSIDE THE FILTER BEFORE ADDING THE BEADS. IF YOU POUR THE BEADS BEFORE FILLING
THE FILTER WITH WATER, YOU WILL LOSE SOME BEADS DURING THE FIRST BACKWASH.
• Pour the filter media (Beads) into the tank.
6–Way Valve Assembly
• Clean the neck of the tank
• Make sure that the soft O-Ring (5) is well positioned on the multifuncion valve.
• Insert the diffuser (3) into the 6 way valve (8).
• Assemble the valve (8) on the tank fixing it with the supplied locking clamp (4).
Pressure Gauge Assembly
• Take off the multifunction valve cap.
• Apply some Teflon tape around the pressure gauge (6) thread to guarantee a proper seal.
• Screw the pressure gauge (6) onto the 6 way valve (8).
