Assembly / Installation
INTRODUCTION
Flotec extra-capacity filters maintain a natural balance,
clear water, and healthy fish and plants in your pond.
Pond pollutants can accumulate at the bottom of the
pond. The pollutants dissolve into the pond water, pro-
ducing harmful toxic by-products. These by-products will
affect fish health and cause cloudy water. The extra-
capacity filter has been specifically designed to remove
harmful pollutants by converting them into harmless
gases which will evaporate into the atmosphere. No
chemical additives are required.
How it works
As pond water enters the filter, it flows in and around the
®
patented Flocor
filter media. This filter media is
designed to offer a large surface area for the colonization
of "friendly" bacteria that will consume harmful toxins in
the water. Water clarity is increased because the filter
removes the nutrients that algae and blanketweed thrive
on.
ASSEMBLY
The extra capacity pump filter is designed to connect to
the intake of any Flotec garden pond pump. Remove the
existing inlet filter housing and sponge that was original-
ly supplied with your pump before installing the extra
capacity inlet filter. This is accomplished by gently twist-
ing the existing inlet filter housing clockwise and pulling
outward at the same time.
The extra capacity pump filter is connected to the inlet of
the pump with the hose supplied. An adapter is also sup-
plied for connection to some models of pumps (Table 1).
On smaller pumps the adapter fits over the outside of the
pump inlet and on larger pumps the adapter fits inside of
the pump inlet.
