4. Opsætning og installation
- Filterplacering: Position the filter unit on a stable, level surface near your pond. Ensure it is easily accessible for maintenance and that the power cable can reach a suitable outdoor power outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The filter can be partially buried, but the lid and connections must remain above ground level.
- Slangeforbindelser:
- Connect a suitable pond hose (not included) from your pond pump to the filter's inlet connection. Secure with hose clamps.
- Connect another pond hose from the filter's outlet connection back to your pond. Ensure the outlet is positioned to create good water circulation.
- If your filter has a separate waste outlet for cleaning, connect a short hose to it, directing it to a drain or garden area for backwash water.
- Elektrisk tilslutning: Plug the filter's power cable into a weatherproof outdoor power outlet protected by a GFCI. Ensure the cable is routed safely to prevent damage.
- Indledende opstart: Before switching on, ensure all connections are secure and the filter is filled with water. Once water is flowing through the system, switch on the power. Check for any leaks.
5. Betjening
The SuperFish SF Top Clear 5000 operates continuously to filter your pond water. Water is pumped into the filter, passing through mechanical filter sponges that trap debris. It then flows through biological media where beneficial bacteria break down harmful substances. Finally, the integrated UV-C unit helps to clarify the water by clumping algae cells, making them easier for the filter to remove.
- Overvågning: Regularly check the water clarity and flow rate. A clear section on the outlet may allow visual inspection of water quality.
- Trykindikator: Some models include a pressure indicator. If the indicator shows high pressure, it suggests the filter media is becoming clogged and requires cleaning.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal filter performance and pond health.
6.1. Filter Cleaning (Backwash Function)
The SF Top Clear 5000 features a convenient cleaning mechanism. Refer to the 'CLEAN' dial on the filter head (see Figure 1).
- Ensure the waste outlet hose is directed to a suitable drainage area.
- With the pump running, turn the dial on the filter head to the 'CLEAN' position. This diverts water through the filter media in reverse, flushing out accumulated debris.
- Allow water to flush until it runs clear from the waste outlet. This typically takes a few minutes.
- Once clean, return the dial to the 'FILTER' or 'RUN' position.
6.2. Deep Cleaning Filter Media
Periodically, a more thorough cleaning of the filter media may be required.
- Disconnect the filter from the power supply.
- Carefully open the filter housing and remove the filter sponges and biological media.
- Rinse the sponges thoroughly with pond water (not tap water, as chlorine can kill beneficial bacteria) until clean.
- Clean the biological media gently, again using pond water, to preserve beneficial bacteria.
- Inspect the inside of the filter housing and clean any accumulated sludge.
- Reassemble the filter, ensuring all seals are correctly seated before securing the lid.
6.3. UV-C Lamp Udskiftning
UV-C lamp has a limited lifespan (typically 8000-10000 hours or about 9-12 months of continuous use) and should be replaced annually, ideally in spring, to maintain its effectiveness against green water algae.
- ALWAYS disconnect the filter from the power supply before replacing the UV-C lamp.
- Follow the specific instructions provided with your replacement UV-C lamp for safe removal and installation. Avoid touching the glass of the new lamp med bare hænder.
- Ensure the quartz sleeve (if present) is clean and free of deposits. Clean with a soft cloth and vinegar solution if necessary.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Water remains cloudy/green | Clogged filter media, old UV-C lamp, insufficient filtration capacity for pond size. | Perform backwash or deep clean filter media. Replace UV-C lamp. Ensure filter is correctly sized for your pond. |
| Reduceret vandgennemstrømning | Clogged filter media, pump blockage, kinked hose. | Perform backwash or deep clean filter media. Check and clean pond pump. Inspect hoses for kinks or blockages. |
| Filter not operating | No power, damaged cable/plug, faulty UV-C unit. | Check power supply and GFCI. Inspect cable for damage. Contact qualified electrician or SuperFish support if unit is faulty. |
| Water leaking from filter | Loose connections, damaged O-ring/seal, cracked housing. | Tighten all hose connections. Inspect and replace O-rings/seals if damaged. Contact SuperFish support for housing damage. |
