The Quartz sleeve can become coated in lime scale build up in hard water areas. This should be carefully removed from the quartz sleeve with a soft cloth. Blagdon Pond Pump Cleaner should be used in stubborn cases. Remove the quartz sleeve from the unit and soak for 3 hours in Pump Cleaner, ensuring that all O-rings are checked and replaced, if necessary.
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.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Please note all electrical work on garden lighting and power installations must comply with part P of the building regulations. Failure to comply is a criminal offense. If the installation of this product is not carried out by a competent electrician who is registered under the Part P self-certification scheme then you must notify the local building control department before work begins.
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.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING Polymer wool and carbon cartridge When the cartridge chamber fills with water and starts to overflow into the outlet chamber the cartridge should be cleaned or replaced. The Polymer wool pad may be washed a limited number of times before it starts to lose efficiency and blocks rapidly.
TROUBLESHOOTING In order to correctly identify if you have green water or cloudy/brown water, a settlement test should be carried out. Take a glass of pond water and allow to settle for a few hours. When the glass is stirred a small layer of settled waste can be seen at the base of the glass.
The filter is too small for the pond, check the filter selection chart. • The UVC quartz sleeve is dirty or coated in lime scale. Gently remove the quartz sleeve and clean in Blagdon pond pump cleaner. • Follow all cloudy water trouble shooting points.
Your filter is within the performance guidelines stated. • You consult the Consumer Advice Line and follow any advice to correct the situation. See details below. Refunds can only be authorised by Interpet Blagdon. CONSUMER ADVICE CONTACT DETAILS Interpet (Blagdon) Consumer Advice Department...
