Maintenance And Cleaning - Xtreme Power 71015 Owner's Manual And Safety Instructions

INSTALLATION
STARTING THE PRESSURE FILTER
Before each start up, check that the connected hoses, sealing cap and
tension ring with safety latch are sitting correctly. The function switch
must be set to "Filter". it is imperative that you read and follow the
following guidelines.
1. Switch on the pump. Caution: The UVC lamp should not be operated without water flowing.
2. After starting the pump, check that all connections are water tight.
3. Plug the filter into the mains. The power indicator should light up blue.
In new installation cases, the pressure filter only reaches full biological cleaning effectiveness after a few
weeks. Extensive bacterial activity only starts at temperatures +10 °C and above.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The pressure filter is mainly maintenance free but the filter sponges should be cleaned regularly. Suspended
matter and dirt are deposited on the filter sponges over time. These deposits reduce the effectiveness of the
filter. Clean the sponges whenever the water runs dirty or cloudy. To change the sponge, see instructions
below.
1. Twist off the sealing cap at the cleaning connection or at the drainage hose that is connected to the
cleaning connection. There will be a small flow of water.
2. Turn the function switch clockwise until it clicks in the "Clean" position.
3. Press the "Function" switch hard. This squeezes the filter sponges and cleans them automatically.
4. The filter should now be rinsed. As soon as only clean water can be seen through the transparent spiral
stepped hose adapter at the cleaning connection, turn the function switch counter-clockwise until it clicks
into the "Filter" position.
5. Screw the sealing cap with the inserted flat seal tightly onto the cleaning connection or the drainage hose
that is connected to the cleaning connection.
6. The filter should now be operating again. Check the water flow into the pond.
WASHING THE FILTER SPONGES
If the water flow is too small due to dirty filter sponges and cannot be improved through cleaning with the
handle. The filter sponges must be washed or replaced. DO NOT use chemical cleaning agents, doing so
may kill off micro-organisms in the filter sponges.
1. Disconnect the mains plug of the filter.
2. Switch off the pump and ensure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
3. Remove all hoses by unscrewing the union nuts.
4. Remove the tension ring. To do this, open the tension ring.
5. Lift off the lid with the filter sponge assembly. Place the lid upside down on another clean surface. The
filter sponges are laying with the filter face up.
6. The distance between the sponge and filter pad should not be more than 5mm. Circumvolve the filter pad
with the arrow in the opposite direction to get the pad out.
7. Pull out the filter sponges and clean with water, squeeze out excess water.
8. Clean out the filter box, lid and lattice pipe, both filter p;ates and the tension ring by spraying them with
water. Lift the bypass valve slightly to clean the inlet comb of the filter.
