    The K1 Micro is cleaned and moved by connecting an air pump to the air line in the EazyPod, which in turn goes to an air ring in the base of chamber C.

    This is the time that it takes for the total water volume of the pond to pass through the filter system once. On EazyPod ponds, where it is used as the only filtration system, a total pond volume turn over of every 1 to 2 hours is required.

    GRAVITY FED SET-UP If you require a set-up where the pond has a bottom drain supplying water to the EazyPod and a pump returns water back to the pond, you will be installing the filter on a GRAVITY-FED SET-UP. Follow the instructions on pages 13 to 17 for the gravity-fed installation and cleaning instructions.

    SETTING UP THE EAZYPOD FOR PUMP-FED INSTALLS To set up your EazyPod ready for use, follow these simple steps: FIT THE INLET HOSETAIL STEP 1: Fit O-Ring on the STEP 2: Screw the hosetail STEP 3: Ensure the hosetail is hosetail thread of the inlet into the inlet thread.

  • Page 12 The return pipe should have an “appropriate fall” from the EazyPod to the pond. The pipework from the pond pump to the inlet of the EazyPod will need to be connected to the 1.5 inch (50mm) inlet hosetail (K). The 4 inch / 90-115 mm (minimum) gravity return pipework will need to be connected to the rubber adaptor (I) on the outlet point of the EazyPod.

  • Page 15 EazyPod. 4. Tip: When connecting to your air pump, cut an inch from the airline supplied on the EazyPod. Insert this into the hosepipe that connects to the air pump. This will help maintain the hosepipe’s rigidity when inserting it into the rubber connector and clip supplied with your air pump.
  • Page 16 SETTING UP THE EAZYPOD ON GRAVITY-FED INSTALLS IMPORTANT…For gravity fed installations, you will need to reverse the exit pipe so that the return pipe is lower. This is because the exit pipe although crucial for a pump-fed system would impede a gravity unit when the media starts to filter out the debris altering the water level.
  • Page 17 This can only be removed by carefully sawing the inlet section at the measurements shown below. You may need to tap on the top of the EazyPod inlet to dislodge the black pipe. This black pipe must be kept safe as it will become your cleaning pip.

    Air Pump Installation (Pump + Gravity Fed) Now that you have your EazyPod installed, you will need to connect your air pump to the EazyPod for the cleaning cycle. This will agitate the K1 Micro so that the waste which has collected in the media can be removed from the system.

    Close the slide valve G which you have fitted after your circulating pump. Turn on your air pump and open the air valve on the EazyPod. In a few seconds the K1 Micro media will start to ‘agitate’ and circulate, thereby self cleaning.

    The air pump is either not powerful enough or there isn’t enough water move well during the in the EazyPod. Check all air fittings and line for leaks. Make sure you cleaning cycle haven’t inadvertently added more K1 Micro than the 18 Litres.
