Commissioning/start-up
WARNING
Serious injury or death from electric shock is possible.
Disconnect all electrical devices in the water from the power supply before reaching into the wa-
ter.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before starting work on the unit.
NOTE
Operating the unit with a dimmer or timer will destroy it. It contains sensitive electrical components.
Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
Do not connect the unit to a timer.
NOTE
Never allow the rinsing pump to run dry. Possible consequences: Destruction of the rinsing pump.
Check the water level at regular intervals. Ensure that the rinsing pump is always under water dur-
ing operation.
Do not switch on the control system until the container is flooded with water.
During commissioning, Er88 is visible on the display of the control system,
– as long as the final water level is not reached in the filter container,
– if the pump status detection is not set correctly.
If the filter system operates correctly, the system message will reset automatically.
• 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
PondoVac pond vacuum cleaner for cleaning the pond.
– This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.
• It is necessary to operate the filter system for 24 hours a day during the pond season.
Pump fed system
Order of steps for start-up
How to proceed:
1. Close the slide valve for the dirt outlet at the bottom of the container.
2. Check that the entire filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
– The filter drum is stopped for safety reasons if the filter cover is lifted and Er11 is indicated on
the display of the control system.
Moving Bed filter chamber
The Moving Bed filter chamber contains three 5.3-gal bags (20 l) of Hel-X 13 biomedia (15.9 gal (60 l)).
Optionally 21.1 gal (80 l) can also be used (supplementary kit order no.: 43383).
4. Tip the Hel-X biomedia from the bags into the Moving Bed filter chamber.
– Ensure that the Hel-X biomedia can move around freely in the container.
– It can take several weeks for the Hel-X biomedia to become completely colonized. Uncolonized
Hex-X biomedia tend to float more.
When using the supplementary kit, add the biomedia gradually. Recommendation: max. 1.3 gal
(5 l) per week.
