Installation And Use - AllPondSolutions PF-8000 Manual

INSTALLATION & USE
Please read the below instructions carefully before beginning to set up your
filter system. DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE MAINS UNTIL SET UP IS
COMPLETE AND UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
1. Prior to installing the unit, examine the quartz sleeve and UV bulb to make
sure these have not been damaged in transportation (see maintenance section).
Handle with care. Do not hold UV bulb with bare hands as this can affect
performance.
2. Clean filter media and foams - remove the filter foams and bio balls and clean
them with some pond water.
3. Connect the hosetails - clear hosetail is
interchangeable with the black hosetail. It has a
spindle that indicates the flow rate so you can use
it on the inlet/outlet. Sometimes you may notice
the spindle stops rotating, this is okay as long as
the water runs through the unit.
Make sure the O-rings are placed smooth side up to
the hosetail (see image on the right for reference). This will prevent leakage.
4. Position the filter system unit - place your PF unit at least 2 metres away
from pond. This is to ensure it doesn't fall into the pond.
5. Connection to the water inlet - connect your pump (not included) to the
hosetail which has an arrow pointing towards the filter.
6. Connection to the water outlet - connect a suitable hose to the hosetail with
the arrow showing away from filter. Secure with hose clamps to ensure this is
water tight.
7. Connect your PF to the mains - Connect the unit to the mains using a
residual current device (RCD) for additional safety.
8. Switch on your unit at the mains - turn on the operation by switching on the
unit at the mains.
