CLEANING WITH THE EAZYPOD AUTOMATIC PLEASE NOTE: When you first power up the EazyPod Automatic, a cleaning cycle will commence. MANUAL CLEAN When you push the “MANUAL CLEAN” button a cleaning cycle will begin. Once initiated, we advise that you allow the cleaning cycle to run from start to finish. However, in unexpected circumstances by interrupting and restarting the power supply, the system will reset itself to a zero start condition for all functions (a power cut will have the same effect).
SCREW B - This screw sets a fine division within the coarse scale. EXAMPLE - To enable the EazyPod Automatic to clean your EazyPod once every 3 days SCREW A points to 10 d (a coarse period of 10 days) and SCREW B points to 30 (30%).
SETTING THE CYCLE TIMER If you do not want to have your EazyPod cleaned once every 3 days, as is factory set, you can alter the cleaning frequency to suit your needs. Simply turn SCREW A and SCREW B to point to the different digits using the sequences shown in the tables below: Use a pozi-drive screwdriver to turn the screw head, so the arrow on the dial points to the appropriate digit.

Cleaning is done on a timer, which is factory set at every 3 days, however, this is easily adjustable to fit in with your pond requirements. (See “SETTING THE TIMER on page 21”) The EazyPod Automatic will run a cleaning cycle which lasts approximately 6 and a half minutes.
10% of the volume of the water in the pond/aquarium should be changed on a weekly basis. With this in mind, we recommend that you set your EazyPod Automatic to run a cleaning cycle so as to exchange water in line with this.
