1. Where to Use Your Pond Filter

The GARDENA Pond Filter is designed exclusively for use in gar­den ponds in private, domestic gardens. It is intended for cleaning
ponds either with or without fish.

The Pond Filter must not be used for industrial applications and
in conjunction with chemicals, food, flammable and explosive
substances.

3. What You Should Know About Ponds and Filters

Garden ponds are not as deep as natural water features.The lack
of depth means that a garden pond heats up and cools down
much more quickly. These changes in temperature and environ­mental factors such as fertilisers, plant residues etc., are among
the main causes of excess levels of nutrients and hence of growth
of algae.

In garden ponds the density of fish stock per cubic meter is usually
higher than in natural ponds. As the fish usually also receive more
food than in their natural environment, the amount of pollution due
to excrement is very high.

Excess growth of algae, as well as the high level of pollution due
to fish excrement causes a lack of oxygen in your pond; its bio­logical balance has been disturbed.

➔ Problem : the level of nutrients in your pond is too high.
The most effective solution to this problem is to decrease the
level of nutrients available by means of a biological process and
to remove excess nutrients while at the same time increasing
the oxygen supply.

The growth of algae can be restricted by installing a filter. Floating
substances (e.g. floating algae), which cause the water to be
murky, are filtered out and the water is purified. This helps the
pond to regain its biological balance. However, existing algae (e.g.
thread algae) visible at the time of installation must be skimmed off
(e.g. with the GARDENA combisystem Pond Net, Art. No. 7933).

4. How the Pond Filter Works

foam filtering elements.

Installing a filter

5. Using the Pond Filter for the First Time

1. Screw the hose clockwise onto the thread G 3/4 (26,5 mm)
of the pump.

2. Screw the hose clockwise onto the thread G 3/4 (26,5 mm)
of the Pond Filter.

3. Position the Pond Filter and Pump in the garden pond so that
the Pond Filter and basket of the pump are completely covered
by water.

You can fill the pump basket with stones to make the pump
more stable.

You can achieve the best cleaning results by using your Pond
Filter in the dirtiest area of the pond.

We recommend using two filters for ponds larger than 16 m

3

with slightly dirty water or for ponds larger than 8 m3with very
dirty water (ponds containing fish).

Operating two filters in parallel:

1. Screw another hose clockwise onto the second connection
of the first Pond Filter.

2. Screw the other end of the hose onto the connection of the
second Pond Filter.

Operating two filters in series:

1. Press out the cap

a

of the lower Pond Filter from the inside.

2. Remove the lowest part of the filter bfrom the top Pond Filter.

3. Position the second Pond Filter on top of the first Pond Filter.

6. Pond Filter Maintenance

The GARDENA Pond Filter is largely maintenance-free.
However, it may require cleaning from time to time.

1. Unplug the pump from the mains.

2. Remove the Pond Filter from the pond.

3. Unscrew the hose clockwise.

4. Empty the Pond Filter completely.

5. Press in both clips

1

at the same time and remove the top

part of the filter.

6. Remove all other parts of the filter in the same way.

7. Remove the foam filter elements

2

from the filter and rinse

under running water.

8. Also clean the round foam filter element

3

under running water.

9. Remove the Zeolith

4

from the bottom part of the filter and

clean (using saltwater, for example).

10. Reassemble the Pond Filter in the opposite order.

11. Screw the hoses back onto the Pond Filter and position in

the pond (see “Using the Pond Filter for the First Time –
Initial Operation”).

To ensure the zeolith functions correctly, we recommend you
replace or clean it every 6 months (e.g. in salt water).

2. For Your Safety

The pump should be operated via a residual current device
with a residual current rating of ≤ 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100-702
and 0100-738). The pump must be placed on solid, even ground.
Please ask your electrician for his advice.

Mains power cables should not have a smaller cross-section
than a rubber sheathed cable of the designation H05 RNF.
Extension cables must meet the requirements of DIN VDE 0620.

In Austria power cables should correspond to ÖVE-EM 42,
T 2 (2000) /1979 § 22 according to § 2022.1. According to this
standard pumps used in swimming pools and ponds should only
be operated via an isolating transformer. Please contact your
electrician.

In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors,
must be connected via a residual-current device.

Before operating the pump, look to see if there is any damage
of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and plug). A damaged
pump must not be used. In case of damage, please have the
pump checked by our GARDENA Service Centre or by an autho­rised electrician.

Check line voltage. Data indicated on the type plate must match
technical data of the mains supply.

The pump must not be operated when there are people in the
water.

Swimming pools and garden ponds should be designed accord­ing to international and national design regulations. Please
consult a professional electrician.

Do not use the power cable to carry the pump or to pull the plug
out of the socket. Protect the power cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.

Please unplug the pump after operation and before carrying out
any maintenance works.

The temperature of the liquid used must not be below 4°C or
above 35°C.

Sand and other abrasive substances in the liquid cause in­creased wear and reduce the output of the pump.

Please observe the local noise prevention regulations.
