    GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MINIPOND FILTER How It Works Blagdon Minipond filters create a clean and healthy environment for your fish. A minimum of maintenance is needed due to the unique six stage filter design. High performance UVC clears green water algae.

    INSTALLATION Convenient Installation Can be installed below or above ground with water returned direct to the pond or via a waterfall. e.g: BELOW ABOVE Filter outlet WATERFALL to Waterfall Filter outlet to Pond MINIPOND FOUNTAIN FILTER FOUNTAIN MAXIMUM (below ground) LENGTH MINIPOND MINIPOND...
  • Page 7: Connecting Hoses

    INSTALLATION Important The outlet hose should be smooth bore (not corrugated) pipe installed over as short a distance as possible with no kinks or bends. We recommend that heavy duty smooth bore black hose is used. The water level in the filter outlet chamber after the carbon wool cartridge should not be higher than the outlet fitting when in use.
  • Page 8: Connecting To Your Pump

    Placing the pump at the opposite end of the pond to the filter will give the best results. Foam-free pump designs will give optimum Minipond filtration. We recommend Blagdon Pond Pumps for fountains, filters and waterfalls. UVC Bulbs & Quartz Sleeve Maintenance The UVC bulb must be replaced yearly.
  • Page 9: Testing/Installing/Replacing The Uvc Lamp

    INSTALLATION Testing/installing the UVC lamp IMPORTANT: Ensure that the mains supply is switched off and the power isolated before removing the UVC cover. Unscrew the UVC electronics cover cap. Inspect the UVC cap and Quartz sleeve for water leaks. If there are no signs of leakage reverse the procedure ensuring that the Cover o ring is in place. If there has been any damage to the unit please return to the point of purchase for inspection.

    Foams may be cleaned vigorously under a running tap or hose. Adding Blagdon Bio Start after filter maintenance will help replenish these beneficial bacterial populations, and is highly recommended during the first two months of operation when the filter is slowly being colonised.
