Betjeningsvejledning

The TotalPond Complete Pond Filter with UV Clarifier operates as a multi-stage filtration system to ensure clear and healthy pond water.

  • Mekanisk filtrering: Water is pumped into the filter and first passes through a coarse black filter pad, which traps larger debris and solid waste.
  • Finfiltrering: Following the coarse pad, water flows through a fine blue filter pad, capturing smaller particles and suspended matter.
  • Biologisk filtrering: The water then moves through bio-balls, which provide a large surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. These bacteria naturally break down harmful ammonia and nitrites, converting them into less toxic nitrates.
  • UV Clarification: Finally, the water passes over the 9W UV Clarifier bulb. The ultraviolet light eliminates microscopic organisms, such as single-celled algae, which are responsible for green water. This process helps maintain clear water without the use of chemicals.
  • Kontinuerlig drift: For best results and continuous water clarity, the filter system should operate continuously.
