Establishing the connections Hoses with a diameter of 38 mm or 50 mm can be connected to the pressure filter. The respec- tive hose connectors are part of our scope of delivery. Use hoses with a diameter of 50 mm to keep the pressure losses in the hoses as low as pos- sible.
Page 11
Connecting the dirt outlet The soiled water resulting from cleaning can be used for fertilisation. Connect a hose and route it up to a suitable location (e.g. flower bed). Use a transparent hose connector with a flow lug. The transparent hose connector will allow you to assess the degree of soiling of the water when cleaning the foam filters.

5. Only switch on the UVC clarifier when water emerges from the water outlet. (→ Switching the UVC clarifier on/off) – Never run the UVC clarifier without water flowing through. – If you are using Oase AquaActiv BioKick, leave the UVC clarifier turned off for 24 hours. This allows the starter bacteria to achieve optimum effectiveness.
Switching the UVC clarifier on/off Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet. – The unit switches on immediately. – The indicator lamp lights up. – The flow lug on the outlet will show you that water is flowing. ...

Cleaning the foam filters The Easy Clean function is used to clean the foam filters. During cleaning, the filter pump is switched on so that the dirt water is transported out of the pressure filter. Turn the turning valve to guide the water in the container to the dirt water outlet. This pre- vents the dirt water from flowing back into the pond.

Carefully and steadily knock the rotor lid with the quartz glass against a firm surface. The lamp guard will slowly slide out of the quartz glass. OSRAM UVC lamps can only be installed without the holding plate. OASE therefore recom- mends using Philips UVC lamps.

FCL0022 Cleaning/replacing the quartz glass The quartz glass is fastened in the filter head by a rotor cover so that no water can leak from the container interior. Replace the quartz glass if it is scratched or has become opaque. Otherwise the cleaning power of the UVC lamp is no longer sufficient.
