Installing the filter container
The filter system operates day and night and causes rinsing noises during the automatic clean-
ing cycles. (→ Technical data)
– Please protect the general public and your neighborhood from noise disturbance and com-
ply with the statutory noise regulations.
– Enclose the filter system so that the enclosure effectively absorbs the noises.
– Select the location of the filter system in order to avoid noise disturbance.
Plan the installation of the filter system. With careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into
account, you will obtain optimum operating results.
The following conditions must be met:
• The filter module is very heavy when filled. It must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs,
but preferably on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from sinking.
• Horizontally align the base slab.
– Ensure that the filter system is positioned horizontally (maximum deviation ±0.2 in (±5 mm).
– Tip: Use commercially available concrete slabs with a size of approx. 19.7 × 19.7 in
(500 × 500 mm) each. Five slabs are required (one base slab for each corner and 1 for the cen-
ter). For the gravity-fed system, an additional slab is required for the Individual Module.
• Plan sufficient space for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
• Drain the dirty water into the sewer system or far enough away from the pond so that it cannot
flow back into the pond.
– If coarse dirt and dirt water both run into the same pipe, use a pipe of at least ∅ 4 in (DN 110).
• Position the inlet in the pond (e.g. via a stream or waterfall) so that it is lower than the outlet of
the filter system.
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond. In this way, the fil-
tered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.

• Horizontally align the base slab.
• Position the inlet in the pond (e.g. via a stream or waterfall) so that it is lower than the outlet of
the filter system.
