Determine the exact place to install filter. The peculiar shape of the unit makes it stable and easy to place in any pond.
Connect the diverter valve and ball-joint leveling device, the telescopic tube and your choice of water nozzle to the outlet of the pump. Turn diverter valve into closed position.
Place the filter on a horizontal surface about 4 inches from the bottom, away from mud and algae.
In order to have a good water jet, the bottom surface must be horizontal and the jet must be in a vertical position. Use the ball-joint on the telescopic pole to adjust it to a vertical position.
The filter is now ready for use. Plug in the power cord to the pump.
Note: The power cord to the UV should only be used when free floating algae control is required.
Maintenance:
Maintenance is required when the height of the water fountain or pump flow decreases.
To open filter:
Unscrew, counterclockwise, the fountain assembly, diverter valve and fitting. Unlock filter housing and open the 2 sides. The fountain assembly, diverter valve and fitting must be removed from the pump prior to opening up the filter housing.
To clean the filter:
Open upper lid and remove mechanical filter sponge. Wash sponge with water. Do not use solvents or detergents.
To clean pump:
If necessary to remove pump, first remove media and UV cover. Turn the front housing counterclockwise, extract the impeller being careful not to lose any internal parts. Wash the parts with water and check the wear condition by turning the impeller while keeping the shaft firm. The impeller should turn smoothly. Reassemble all parts paying attention to proper placement of all components.
To clean UV sleeve:
If algae proliferate it may be necessary to check proper functioning of the UV bulb. If bulb is functioning, it may be necessary to clean quartz sleeve. To do this, make sure unit is disconnected (both pump and UV). Remove upper lid. Using a screwdriver, extract the quartz sleeve. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any build up of dirt or slime. Check that quartz sleeve has not been damaged and replace.
To change UV bulb:
For best efficiency UV bulb should be replace yearly (approximately 9,000 hours of use).
Disconnect both pump and UV. Remove the upper lid. Remove the bulb lid. Using a screwdriver, extract the quartz sleeve and UV bulb and replace with a new one. Reassemble all parts making sure that all gaskets in the bulb cap are placed correctly.
