Safety information
FIAP has manufactured this unit according to the highest quality standards and the valid safety
regulations. Despite the above, hazards for persons and assets can emanate from this unit if it is used
in an improper manner or not in accordance with its intended use, or if the safety instructions are
ignored.
For safety reasons, children and young persons under 16 years of age as well as persons who
cannot recognise possible danger or who are not familiar with these operating instructions, are
not permitted to use the unit!
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place! Also hand over the operating instructions
when passing the unit on to a new owner. Ensure that all work with this unit is only carried out in
accordance with these instructions. The combination of water and electricity can lead to danger to life
and limb, if the unit is incorrectly connected and misused.
Attention! Dangerous ultra-violet radiation.
The radiation of the UVC lamp is dangerous for eyes and skin! Never operate the unit lamp ouside of
its housing. Never immerse the unit in water! Always disconnect the power supply of all units located in
water and of this unit prior to performing work on the unit! Only operate the unit when plugged into an
earthed socket. The latter must have been installed in accordance with the valid national regulations.
Ensure that the protective earth wire is led to the unit. Never use installations, adapters, extension or
connection cables without protective earth contact! The cross section of power connection cables must
not be smaller than the rubber cables identified with H05 RNF. Extension cables must meet DIN VDE
0620. Ensure that the unit is supplied via a fault current protection (FI or RCD) with a reference fault
current of 30 mA maximum. Protect the connection cable when burying to avoid damage. Only use
cables approved for external use. Protect the plug connection against humidity/moisture. Never
operate the unit if the cable or housing are defective! Disconnect the power! Do not carry or pull the
unit by the connection cable. Electrical installations at garden ponds and swimming pools must meet
the international and national regulations valid for installers. Compare the electrical data of the supply
with those on the unit type plate. This data must agree. For your own safety, consult a qualified

electrician if you have questions or encounter problems! The power connection cable cannot be
replaced. If damaged, the unit has to be disposed of. Do not operate the unit if persons are in the
water! Never use the pump for fluids other than water! Never open the unit housing or its attendant
components, unless this is explicitly mentioned in the operating instructions. Never run the unit without
water!
Attention! The outlet from the filter cannot be more than 2m (0.2 bar water pressure) vertically
above the level of the filter!
Ensure that no leaks at the filter can occur. Danger of completely emptying the pond.
Installation
Place the unit at a flood protected position at a distance from the pond edge of at least 2 m on a firm
and level ground. As an alternative, the filter can be buried up to the recess in the container. Maximum
height difference between filter lid and outlet point: max. 2 m. Do not expose the unit to direct sun
radiation. Ensure unrestricted access to the cover to be able to carry out work on the unit.
Installation
Fitting hose connections
The max. pump head height is 5m WC (0.5 bar). Only operate the unit with pressure hoses which are
approved at least for 0.2 bar or the maximum pump pressure. Saw off the stepped hose nozzle at the
appropriate point of the corresponding hoses . Push or screw the hoses onto the stepped hose nozzle
and secure with a hose clip.
Installation at the water inlet
Push the union nut over the black stepped hose nozzle, fit the hose, insert the flat sealing ring in the
union nut, and screw onto the water inlet socket.
Installation at the water outlet
Push the union nut over the stepped hose nozzle, fit the hose, insert the green flow indicator flag into
the union nut, and screw onto the water outlet socket.
Attention! Never operate the unit without water or without pump strainer casing!
Start-up
Adhere to the safety information given above! Always switch the pump on prior to starting the unit, and
check the correct seating of the connected hoses, the cover cap and the clamping ring with safety
latch. Connect the power supply. Note: After a new installation, the unit only reaches its full biological
cleaning effect after a few weeks. The full effect on bacteria is only reached as from an operating
temperature of + 10°C.
Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Always disconnect the power supply prior to starting cleaning and maintenance
work!
Adhere to the safety information given above! Check and clean the water outlet into the pond at regular
intervals. When blocked, danger of an operating pressure of more than 0.2 bar. We recommend to
clean the foam filters at regular intervals (e.g. every two weeks), at the latest when the water emerging
from the outlet and returned to the pond is cloudy or dirty.
Cleaning the foam filters by washing out
If necessary, wash out or replace the foam filters. Do not use chemical cleaning agents. Disconnect
the power supply, switch off the pump and secure against unintentional switching on again. Disconnect
all hoses by turning off the union nuts, remove the clamping ring. For this purpose, pull the safety latch
replaced. If damaged, the unit has to be disposed of. Do not operate the unit if persons are in the
water! Never use the pump for fluids other than water! Never open the unit housing or its attendant
components, unless this is explicitly mentioned in the operating instructions. Never run the unit without
water!
