FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter when the pop-up cleaning indicator shows it is necessary. This will depend on the pond conditions and the amount of debris present, but is usually every few weeks.

How do I backflush the filter?

Simply crank the handle on top of the filter. This process takes approximately 5 minutes.

How often do I need to replace the filter foams?

The filter foams are reusable. Rinse them during backflushing. Replace them only if they are damaged.

How long does the UV lamp last?

The UV lamp's lifespan varies, but it is typically recommended to replace it every season or as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Can I bury the filter?

Yes, the filter can be buried. Ensure that the access points and the handle remain accessible for maintenance.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product documentation or contact the manufacturer for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Poor water clarity

Check the filter foams for debris and backflush the system. Ensure the UV lamp is functioning correctly and is not expired.

Reduced water flow

Check for blockages in the filter or the connecting pipes. Clean the filter foams or replace them if necessary.

Cleaning indicator not working

Check for any obstructions that might be preventing the pop-up cleaning indicator from functioning. Contact customer service for assistance.
