fish slowly over the first few weeks, up to 20% of
maximum recommended level, increasing this if
you wish to 50% after six months. The balance
will allow for fish growth.
2.4 Pond Treatments: Some medications/
treatments can degrade very quickly by UVC
radiation. Consider switching off the filter
during disease treatment. The mechanical and
biological filtration will continue to work.
If treating your pond for blanketweed, turn
off your pump and filter for the duration of
treatment until the treated blanketweed has
been removed from the pond.
2.5 Extra care should be taken with any hose
connections as leaks will result in loss of water
from the pond.
Before First Use
Inappropriate handling of this product during transit
may result in damage to the quartz tube. Please
inspect the quartz tube and seal before installation.
See the section "Maintenance" for details on how to
access the quartz tube and lamp.
Installation
3.1 Important: Do not use a pump with a flow
rate greater than that shown in the Technical
Information chart overleaf or a maximum head
greater than 3.5m with the Ecopower+ range of
filters.
3.2 Important: Ecopower must only be installed in
an upright vertical position.
Locate the Ecopower+ on firm, level ground
where you can access it conveniently.
Ecopower filters are pump fed, external filter
with an integral UVC unit, suited to either above
ground (Fig. 2a), in-ground (Fig. 2b) installation
adjacent to your pond or concealed at the top of
a waterfall (Fig 2c).
If you choose to install your filter above ground,
place the filter on flat level ground.
If you choose to part bury your filter, the
excavation should be firmly back filled with
compacted sand to support the unit.
Always ensure that the filter outlet(s) are at
least 100mm above the level of the water in
your pond.
3.3 Connection - Place the unit next to the pond and
route the cable back to the mains supply. Ensure
that you allow for enough cable for positioning
the product in the desired location in the pond.
3.4 For transportation the drain outlet has been
fitted to the vessel back to front. Remove
this by unscrewing the nut and replace it the
correct way round as shown in (Fig 4).
3.5 Turn the lid upside down and push the foam
spacer legs (Fig 1c) into the spaces indicated
shown in Fig 5. The point at the end of the legs
should point inwards as shown in Fig 6.
NEVER USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE LEGS !
3.6 Push the foam (x2 on Ecopower+ 20000) onto
the ends of the foam spacer legs. The large hole
fits over the end of the yellow venturi outlet
(Fig 7). The foam will only fit one way with the
dimples facing away from the lid.
3.7 Ecopower+ filters incorporate an inlet hose tail
(Fig 1f) to fit 20 - 40mm (3⁄4" – 11⁄ 2") hose
(refer to Technical Information Chart overleaf)
and outlet hose tail(s) (Fig 1e) to fit 40mm (1
1⁄ 2") hose. The pump inlet and filter outlet
pipe should be at opposite ends of the pond for
optimal water circulation in the pond. Bear this
in mind when purchasing, measuring and cutting
the Cypriflex hose.
Cut the inlet hose tail on your Ecopower+ Filter
to the size appropriate for the diameter of the
hose to be used (Fig 8) and fit it to the filter inlet
(Fig 9). Attach a suitable length hose between
the supply pump and the filter inlet securing the
hose to the hosetails using a Hozelock Cyprio
hoseclip, available separately.
3.8 The filter outlet connector and overflow
moulding(s) (x2 on Ecopower+ 10000) should be
secured to the side of the vessel (Fig 10).
The outlet hose (if fitted) should be secured in
the same way as the inlet hose. Avoid kinks and
bends, and keep hose runs as short as possible
(preferably less than 1m) to minimise flow
restrictions.
For best results we recommend that the end of
the outlet hose (if fitted) does not dip into the
pond.
NEVER CUT MESH BAG OF BIOMEDIA !
3.9 Gently locate the lid onto the vessel and snap
down around the rim. Looking through the
viewing hatch, ensure that the foam sheet is
positioned below the outlet(s) in the vessel (Fig
12).
Operation
4.1 Connect the filter's supply cord (See section 1 –
Safety & Electrical Connections). This switches
on the UVC lamp. You can check that the lamp is
working in dark conditions by switching off the
pump briefly and looking for the blue glow from
the end of the yellow venturi outlet (Fig. 7 (x)) .
4.2 Switch on the pump.
4.3 Periods of Operation: Keep the filter working 24
hours a day. Ideally it should run all year round
