Installation
• Spacing between unit and water: min. 6.6 ft (2 m) (safety spacing!).
• Do not expose the unit to direct sun radiation.
• Water return point. OASE recommend: Route the return hose such that the clean water is indirectly returned to the pond,
e.g. through a waterfall. In this manner it will be additionally enriched with oxygen.
• Height difference between filter lid and water return point: max. 6.6 ft (2 m).
Installation possibility 1: Bury close to the pond.
Dig a hole close to the pond and place the container into the hole up to the mark. (See Function description diagram)
Installation possibility 2: Placement close to the pond.
Place the unit close to the pond where it is flood protected (e.g. hidden behind shrubs). The ground must be firm and level.
Connecting a filter pump
A filter pump is required to operate the pressure filter. Only connect to the pump by means of pressure hoses approved for
at least 2.9 psi (0.2 bar) or the maximum pump pressure.
Hoses with an internal diameter of 1 1/2" or 2" can be connected to the unit.
Installation
1 ½" hoses or 2" hoses can be connected to the unit. The respective hose connectors are part of our scope of delivery.
Recommendation: Use 2" hoses to convey the water through the lines at a minimum pressure loss.
If you use a filter starter, fill the product into the container prior to carrying out the following installation steps (See
Commissioning/Start-up).
Fitting the water inlet
• Push the union nut (26) over the black hose
connector (22).
• Insert the flat sealing ring (27) in the union nut (26).
• Screw tighten the hose connector to the water inlet
socket (2) using the union nut.
• Push the hose clamp (29) over the hose (30).
• Push the hose over the hose connector (up to the
stop) and secure using the hose clamp.
Fitting the water return
• Push the union nut (26) over the transparent hose
connector (20).
• Place the flow indicator flap (28) into the union nut.
• Screw tighten the hose connector to the water return
socket (1) using the union nut.
• Push the hose clamp (29) over the hose (30).
• Push the hose over the hose connector and secure with
the hose clamp. Leave the last segment free for use as
a window to control flow and soiling. (As shown)
