Commissioning/start-up

Remove the protective film from the substrate tubes and insert the substrate tubes into
the container. (→ Cleaning/replacing the substrate tubes)
 The substrate tubes are sealed in protective film on delivery.
Thoroughly clean the pond before starting up the filter system for the first time to ensure that
the filter system is not overloaded by excessively soiled water. OASE recommends using the
pond vacuum cleaner PondoVac for cleaning the pond.
 This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.
Biological filter starter
The foam filters take several weeks to reach their full biological cleaning effect. We recommend
using the OASE filter starter Biokick to ensure fast growth of bacterial populations. Micro-organ-
isms colonise the filter system, multiply and ensure an enhanced quality of the pond water by
the decomposition of excess nutrients.

Leave the UVC clarifier switched off for at least 36 hours if you are using filter starters, med-
ications or pond care products.
 This does not affect the effect of the agents.
Order of starting up steps
How to proceed:
1. Close the slide valve of the dirt outlet.
2. Check that the filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
4. Connect the transformer for the control device to the power supply.
5. Switch on the filter pump and UVC clarifier (if applicable).
– Ensure that the water is returned to the pond via the return pipe.
6. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
– Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
7. Adjust the control device to the flow rate if necessary. (→ Aligning the control device)
8. Check the function of the ScreenMatic rotating screen unit. (→ Operation)
9. Fit the container cover.

Only operate the unit with the container cover in place.

To reduce pump noise, connect the pump to the pipework via flexible, pressure-resistant
hose lines for fixed installation.

The substrate tubes should remain completely under water to ensure maximum effective-
ness.
 If, due to the system configuration, the water level in the container is too low for this,
place the top substrate tube directly into the pond, at a well-flowed place.
