iNstallatiON
WarNiNG: Before installing the filter, disconnect all submersed
appliances in the pond from electrical power.
CautiON: Do not exceed the maximum pressure (head) listed in
Table 1.
CautiON: Do not expose this filter to sunlight for extended periods.
iNstallatiON tiPs: While planning the layout of your pond and
water feature, consider the following helpful tips to ensure proper
operation of your newly purchased pressure filter.
a. Use larger pipe sizes where possible.
b. Minimize the number of flow-reducing fittings between the
pump and the water feature, such as elbows, flow valves,
etc.
c. Attempt to minimize the vertical height difference between the
pump and the water feature.
d. Place the pressure filter as close as practicable to the water
feature (the point where water is discharged back into your
pond).
e. Carefully choose a pump that meets the flow and head
requirements for the filter and your pond system.
1. Decide on a suitable location to install the filter then bury it in the
ground, as high as the latches if necessary.
2. Attach a flexible pipe or hose to the pump and connect it to the
filter inlet (marked In).
3. Attach a flexible pipe or hose to the filter outlet (marked OUT),
and position this water outlet pipe as required.

1. Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and
obstructions.

MaiNteNaNCe
NOte: When water pressure begins to decrease noticeably, clean
