BIO-FILTER ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
USE : This Beckett Bio-Filter is designed for use with the following
submersible pond pumps; FR500, FR680, FR900, DP900, DP1200, and DP1800.
NOTE : The Beckett Bio-Filter is designed to operate completely submerged
in the pond.
BIO-FILTER INFO : Bio-Filters provide mechanical and biological pond
filtration for a cleaner and healthier pond environment. They efficiently
process waste and clarify the pond water as well as reduce ammonia, nitrates,
and nitrites in the pond by promoting the rapid growth of beneficial bacteria.
Bio-filters provide more efficient filtration of the pond water as compared to
just a mechanical type filter. Bio-filters provide a clean, healthy pond
ecosystem that is ideal for ponds with fish. This type of bio-filter attaches
to the pond pump intake and offers the consumer these additional benefits over
inline-type bio-filter systems. A compact design that is completely
submersible in the pond, greater filter surface area with easy-to-service
filter material, superior ability to be camouflaged into the pond setting
environment and does not offer the opportunity to leak water from the pond
that inline types do because of hose connections and seals. The BioFilter will
automatically begin to work when installed in a pond with fish. Natural
occurring bacteria (Nitro- somonas and Nitrobacter) will begin to collect and
attach themselves to the bio-balls within the filter case. It takes time for
the bacteria to colonize the bio-balls and reach maturity level. Care should
be taken when cleaning the prefilters to assure the bio-balls are not cleansed
or disturbed no more than possible because this could damage the naturally
occurring bacteria bioprocess.
ASSEMBLING ATTACHING BIO-FILTER TO PUMP
IMPORTANT : First turn off the power to the pump. Your Bio-Filter should
be assembled as shown below complete with Bio Balls inside. Start by Removing
the proper Plug 1″ or 1-1/2″ from the Bio-Filter and be certain to leave the
other plug in place, *store the plugin with Bio Balls. The Bio-Filter simply
presses up to the intake area on your pump volute. Rotate your pump or Bio-
Filter to assure that the base of the pump and Bio-Filter are flat (parallel)
to each as much as possible.
PREFILTER CLEANING
When you see a reduced flow from your pump, it is time to clean the filters. Turn off the power to the pump – remove the filters – wash the filters in clean water and reinstall on Bio-Filter – turn the pump back on and check for proper operation. Hav- ing spare filters will make this task more convenient. NOTE : If you allow your filters to become completely clogged with debris, your Bio Filter will become buoyant and float to the surface; if you experience this you can add a flat rock on top of the filters to help keep it fully submerged but cleaning the filters before this happens is the best solution.
