FAQs

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter using the rotating handle when the float indicator signals, typically every few weeks, depending on pond conditions.

How do I replace the UV bulb?

Disconnect the power, open the UV housing (refer to the manual), and replace the bulb with a new one of the correct wattage.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Regularly clean the filter sponges, replace the UV bulb, and check/replace filter media as needed.

What size pond is this filter suitable for?

The PFC-5000-Kit is suitable for ponds up to 5000L.

Can I use this filter with a waterfall?
