Cleaning - Pump fed Procedure
1 Insert the cleaning pipe into the plastic
return pipe D. This will prevent waste going
back to the pond and maintain the water
level in the Pod whilst cleaning it. Fig. 19
Pump
2 When the water level in chamber B is just
level with the overflow assembly, close slide
valve G on your inlet pressure line. Ensure that
this is fully closed, as it is essential that this
water level is maintained to allow efficient
cleaning. If there is insufficient water, the K1
will not agitate and self clean.
3 Switch off the pond pump.
4 Turn on your air pump and open the air valve on the Pod. In a few seconds the K1 media
will start to 'agitate' and circulate, thereby self cleaning.
5 After the K1 has been aerated for a minimum of two minutes, open valve F and
completely drain the Pod.
6 Once it is drained, close valve F.
7 Open your inlet slide valve G and turn on your circulation pump to refill the Pod.
8 When the water level in chamber B is just level with the overflow assembly, close the slide
valve G on your inlet pressure line and switch off the pump.
9Allow the K1 media to agitate again for a minimum of two minutes.
10 Open valve F to drain again. If the water in the Pod is still not 100% clean, repeat the
process.
11 Once the K1 is clean, turn off your air pump or re-divert it and close the air valve on the
Pod. Close valve F.
12 Remove the cleaning pipe.
13 Open inlet slide valve G.
14 Start your pond pump and refill the Pod.
Please note that normally 2 cleaning cycles will be needed to completely clean the K1. On a
dirty pond, maybe even 3 will be needed. When doing more than one cleaning cycle, there
is no need to remove the cleaning pipe and switch the air pump off, just leave it running until
the final clean when it is switched off and the pipe removed.
