Aqua One CPF Series Pond Pressure Filter Instruction Manual

Aqua One CPF Series Pond Pressure Filter

CPF-Series Pond Pressure Filter

The CPF-Series Pond Pressure Filter is a closed filter system designed for the biological and mechanical cleaning of pond water.
The filter comes with an integrated UV lamp for optimal cleaning performance.

Description

The user manual for the CPF-Series Pond Pressure Filter is available in German (pages 2-11) and English (pages 12-19) and can also be accessed online at www.aquaristikwelt24.de. The filter should be set up near the pond, and the water pump should be connected to the water inlet using a pressure hose. Clear water is defined as being able to see fish or stones at the bottom of the pond at a depth of one meter. The filter system should run continuously 24 hours a day, and the UV lamp should be replaced after 8,000 hours of use.

2. Connect the water pump to the water inlet using a pressure hose.
3. Ensure that the function switch is set to “Filter”.
4. Read and follow the safety instructions before starting the filter.
5. Turn on the water pump. Note: The UV lamp should not be operated without water flow.
6. The filter system should run continuously 24 hours a day.
7. The UV lamp should be replaced after 8,000 hours of use to ensure optimal cleaning performance.
8. If the filter needs to be cleaned, follow these steps:
9. Unplug the filter from the power source.
10. Turn off the water pump and secure it to prevent accidental turning on.
11. Remove the filter cover.

How the filter works

The pressure filter with integrated UV is a sealed filter system for the biological and mechanical cleaning of pond water.
A. water inlet
The pump is connected to the water inlet with a pressure hose.
B. vortex system
Under the action of gravity, suspended solids and mud are separated.
C. mechanical filter
When the water through the filter sponge into the internal , dirt particles will be stopped by filtering sponge surface.
D. Biological clarifying
The pores of the filter sponge from a large inner surface which microorganisms can colonize. The yellow and blue filter sponges differ in size and density. This creates zones in which the water can flow at different speeds. Zones with a high flow speed(blue filter sponges) favour the colonization of microorganisms which convert ammonium to nitrate via nitride(nitrification). Zones with a low flow speed (yellow spongesl support the colonization of anaerobic microorganisms which reduce nitrate to nitrogen(denitrificationl.
E. Clarify the pond water
As the water flow out, it is briefly exposed to ultraviolet radiation under the UV lamp. This kill off germs and bacteria and inhibits algae growth.
The water subsequently flow from the edge into the filter in a circular fashion.
F. water outlet with flow indicator
At the water outlet, the clarified water is fed back into the garden pond via pressure hose or a watercourse etc.
G. cleaning connection
When cleaning the filter, a drainage hose can be connected to the cleaning connection which diverts the dirty water into the sewerage system or onto a flower bed.
H. function switch
The function switch is used to switch between normal water discharge into the pond “filter” and the cleaning connection “clean”.
I. cleaning the filter sponges with the handle function
The filter sponges can be cleaned by turning around the cleaning handle.
Definition of clear water
Clear water is achieved if the fish or stones at the bottom of the pond can be seen at a depth of 1m.

The installation of the filter

1. lnstall the filter so that it is safe from flooding. Secure your filter so that will not fall into the pond. it should be placed at least 2 m from the edge oft he pond.
2. Dig a hole beside the pond, bedded filters below Clamp. Or put the filter in a strong smooth place.
3. In order to facilitate work on filter, installed to ensure that the lid can open.
4. Pumping height (the vertical height of the outlet to the pond water), more than 1m to choose a correspondingly more powerful pump.

Connecting hoses

We recommend warming the hose with hot water, pushing it onto the spiral stepped hose adapter and securing it with a hose clip. This makes the con- nection more watertight.

1. Try to choose larger diameter hose to connect the filter.
2. For hoses that are longer than 4 m, please always use hoses that correspond to the upper value of the scale.
3. In order to avoid pressure loss, cut the spiral stepped hose adapter at the relevant points for each hose.

Cleaning connection

Connected to the cleaning connection. This allows you to drain the dirty water directly into the sewerage system or onto a flower bed.

Starting on the pressure filter

Before each start-up, you should check that the connected hoses, the sealing cap and the clamp with safety latch are sitting correctly.
the function switch must be set to the “filter” symbol. lt is imperative that you read and follow the safety guidelines before start-up.

1. Switch on the pump.Caution! The UV lamp must not be operated without water flowing it.
2. Check all the sealing connection, lt there is leaking,it should be adjusted.
3. Pass filter on the power supply.
4. The filter system with integrated UV must be running permanently, 24 hours a day.
5. The UV lamp must be replaced after 8,000 hours of operation in order to ensure that the filter UV continues to operate with optimum effectiveness.
6. The filter system must be cleaned regularly.

Attention: in the case of a new installation, the pressure filter only reaches its full biological cleaning effectiveness after a few weeks. Extensive bacterial activity only starts at temperature of + 10°C or above.

Washing the filter sponges
Suspended matter and dirt are deposited in the filter sponges over time. These deposits reduce the effectiveness of the filter, so the filter sponges should be cleaned regularly, e.g. Every week.
The filter sponges should be cleaned when cloudy or even dirty water flows out of the water outlet and back into the pond.(When the red indicators which in the handle function is float on.)

1. Turn clockwise until it clicks into the “clean” position.
2. Circumgyrate cleaning handle hard and several times. This squeezes the filter sponges and cleans them mechanically. Circumgyrate for deasil and at will achieve a better results.
3. The filter now will be rinsed .Once clean water could be seen through the transparent spiral stepped hose adapter at the cleaning connection, turn anti-clockwise until it clicks into the “filter”position.
4. The filter is now operating again. Check the water flow into the pond.

Replacement of the filter sponges
lt the water flow is too small due to dirty filter sponges and can not be improved through cleaning with the handle function. The filter sponges must be washed or replaced.
Please do not use any chemical cleaning agents so as not to kill oft the microorganisms in the filter sponges.

1. Disconnect the mains plug of the filter.
2. Switch oft the pump and ensure that it cannot be switched on unintentionally, remove all hoses by unscrewing the union nuts.
3. Remove protective buckle, then open the clamp.
4. Lift offthe lid with the filter sponge assembly. Place the lid upside down on another clean surface. The filter sponges are lying with filter plat facing up.
5. Remove the diversion pipe anticlockwise,remove the screws on the gear and the separate plate.
6. Remove the filter sponges to replace or clean.
7. Pull oft the filter sponges part and clean them under flowing water. Give the filter sponges a good squeeze.
8. Clean the container, filter sponges,0-ring and the edge of the container by spraying them with a water hose.
9. Put the sponge part as follow,put on the separate plate,fixed cleanness gear set, fasten the diversion pipe.
10. Place the 0-ring 3 onto the upper edge of the container.(ln order to easy to fit you should make it wet).press down on the lid.
11. Put the clamp on the right place,pull on the pull-tab ,finally push the safety latch in.
12. Fasten all hoses with flat seals or flow vane to the corresponding connection by screwing the union nuts on tight.
13. Start the pressure filter up again.

Attention: there is a channel connection between the container with the lid, so when installation, you need to aim before installation.
(The area indicated by the two arrows should be aligned)

Cleaning the quartz tube and replace the UV lamp

1. Unscrew the four screw on the lid.
2. Pull out of the light head, then you can clean the quartz glass tube.
3. Clean the quartz glass tube with wet cloth.
4. Remove the fixing-nut on the quartz glass tube.
5. Pull out of the quartz glass tube then you can replace the UV lamp.
6. Check the quartz glass tube set,change it if broken.
7. Set up all part of the filter as before and start up the filter again.
