which will reduce efficiency. Clean the tube with a
soft cloth and a gentle de-scaler (such as vinegar
and water), rinse in water before refitting.
3 – Reassemble the bayonet tube and screw and
restart (Fig 8-X).
Warning! Ensure that the quartz tube is not
damaged before refitting.
Lamp Replacement
Follow the below procedure if the lamp needs
replacing or does not illuminate:
Change the lamp at the start of the new season. Even
though the lamp still glows it may not be giving out
any useful UV radiation. How well the EasyClear™
performs is related to the strength of the UV radiation
produced. This will slowly decline from the day your
lamp is switched on. The UVC lamp has an effective
life of 12 months. You need to change the lamp when
there is a significant reduction in water clarity. Make
sure this is due to an expired lamp and not a badly
maintained filter or a dirty/limescaled quartz sleeve.
Both can greatly reduce UV transmission into the
water.
1 - Remove the bayonet locking screw (Fig 8-V), twist
and lift the bayonet tube (Fig 8-W).
2 - Unscrew the quartz tube locking collar (Fig 9-Y-i).
Gently hold the quartz tube (Fig 9-Y-ii), lift up and
remove together with its o-rings (Fig 9-Y-iii) and
locking collar.
3 - Remove the old lamp by gently pulling it from its
holder (Fig 9-Z). Dispose of the old lamp according
to local regulations and fit the new lamp.
4 - Slide the quartz tube down over the lamp. Ensure
that the two o-rings at the base of the quartz tube
are clean and free from debris.
5 - Slide the locking collar down over the quartz tube
and screw down. You should screw down until
the stop of the locking collar hits the stop of the
housing so that the collar cannot be screwed down
any more.
6 - Reassemble the bayonet tube and screw and
restart (Fig 8-X).
Warning! Ensure that the quartz tube is assembled
correctly so that it provides a completely watertight
seal.
Check the condition of the two o-rings on the Quartz
Tube Assembly (Fig 9-Y-iii). If these are damaged in
any way or you cannot guarantee a water tight seal,
contact Hozelock Consumer Services.
Biological Filter
Normally, there is no need to remove the biomedia
as any cleaning may kill the colonies of bacteria that
make toxic waste harmless. However if the biomedia
becomes heavily clogged and does require cleaning
follow this procedure.
1 - Remove the foam.
2 - The bag of Kaldnes Biomedia (Fig 7-U) can then be
removed for cleaning.
3 - Wash in pond water.
4 - Reassemble the filter and restart.
Rotor Cleaning/Replacement
If the no water is being pumped or flow is reduced,
remove the quartz tube and lamp as described above,
then follow the below procedure.
1 - Release the Foam Cover by pushing the two
buttons (Fig 5-R) and lift the cover (Fig 6-S).
2 - Remove the foam (Fig 7-T), biomedia (Fig 7-U) and
stone bag.
3 – Turn the unit over and remove the 4 fixing screws
(Fig 10-AA) and lift the base clear.
4- Remove the 2 fixing screws (Fig 10-BB) and lift the
Pump Assembly clear.
5 - Twist the Pump Chamber anticlockwise (Fig 10-CC)
and lift clear. The rotor can now be pulled out for
cleaning or replacement ( Fig 10-DD).
Important! Take extra care so as to not drop any of
the small components.

6 - Reassemble the pump and 2 off fixing screws (Fig
10-BB).
7 - Reroute the cable (Fig 10-EE).
8 - Reassemble the filter, and restart.
All Year Pump Care
A quick daily check should be carried out to ensure
that the pump is performing satisfactorily.
Once a week- Remove the outer casing and Fountain
Head in accordance with the general maintenance
notes.
Depending on pond water conditions, cleaning may be
required more frequently.
Once a year- Completely disassemble the unit
including the Rotor Assembly as described in the
general maintenance notes, and wash all components
in clean, freshwater.
Replace worn or broken parts.

Winter Storage

When not in use, the unit should be removed,
thoroughly washed and cleaned, dried and stored in
a dry frost protected area. Always store the unit with
the foam and foam cover off to ensure adequate
ventilation and drying.
