Commissioning
Please note: pump and hoses are not included!
WARNING: The pump and the UVC device must be disconnected from the mains supply before performing any installation work!
Prepare the pump for connection with the inflow connector (UVC) of the SmartClear unit. Observe the instructions for use supplied with the pump.
Connect the pump and pond filter to the pond pipe, which has been cut to the required length. Use the appropriate pipe nozzles. Universal pipe nozzles must be shortened as required.
Now place the pump in the pond. Observe the requirements regarding minimum water depth and place the pump on solid ground, free of mud and sand.
Before putting the SmartClear pond filter system into operation, check once again that:
1. The sealing cover and inflow connection from the filter are properly screwed on,
2. The ball valve for draining dirt is closed,
3. The pipe connections from the filter inflow and outflow are properly fitted,
4. The instructions for use of both the pump and the UV-C device have been read and observed.
You can then bring the SmartClear Pond Filter System into operation in the following sequence:
1. Always switch the pump on first and check whether water flows evenly through the UVC device and the SmartClear Pond Filter.
2. Check the entire pond filter system again for leaks. We recommend sealing leaky hose connections with suitable hose clips or standard teflon tape.
3. Only then switch on the UVC device (if there is one) and check the operation of the UV lamp by visual inspection safely using the device's inspection window (blue light).
Note: during the period of bacteria development in the filter chambers (around 6-8 weeks from commissioning) the UVC device should not be switched on again.
4. It is important that your SmartClear Pond Filter is in uninterrupted operation. Only for maintenance and during the winter period should the system be completely switched off.
5. If the pond filter is to be taken out of operation, always switch the UVC device off first. Only then may the pump be switched off and the water drained from the pond filter.

Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING: The pump and the UVC device must be disconnected from the mains supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning activities!
• If pump performance falls off, that could mean the pump interior is dirty and has to be cleaned. Please clean the pump in accordance with the instructions.
• If the pond is in normal ecological condition, clean the filter approximately every 30 days. A tool is included with the filter, which is used to wring out the filter mats while they
remain in the filter (see drawings on page 2 of this manual). If the water at the bottom of the filter is very dirty, it can be easily drained using the dirty water tap attached to the side.
• If growth of floating algae in your pond visibly increases again, the cause may be a decrease in performance of the UVC device, caused by deposits on the quarz tube and/or a
decrease of the radiation intensity of the UVC lamp. In this case, the UVC lamp must be cleaned or the UVC lamp replaced. To do this, please proceed in accordance with the UVC
instructions.
• Depending on the level of pollution of the pond water it may be necessary - particularly in the first few weeks after setting-up of the filter - to rinse out the dirt sediment from the
filter chambers using the ballvalve. You do not need to switch off the pond filter to do this.
