EAZYPOD AUTOMATIC

The automatic choice for your pond

Also available as:

The EazyPod Automatic is a self-cleaning, mechanical and
biological filter system for garden ponds up to 10,000 litres.

The integrated control box contains an adjustable timer which

initiates a cleaning cycle automatically - even when you’re not there!

Inside the control box, the electronic connector blocks control the
automated waste valve, along with your choice of circulating pump
(not supplied). It even houses an integral air pump which kicks in
automatically to clean the K1 Micro media.

Crystal clear, healthy water is achieved by K1 Micro filter media,
which also provides enhanced biological benefits by way of its
protected surface area.

The EazyPod UV Automatic features an integrated 18 Watt UVC
built in to the inlet section of the filter, helping to clear green water.

Available in 2 models, users can select either the EazyPod
Automatic or the EazyPod UV Automatic (with built-in 18 watt
UV). Both models are also available either in Grey or Green
body colours.

How the EazyPod Automatic works

The concept of the EazyPod Automatic is simple and yet
innovative. Water enters via the inlet and passes over an 18
watt UV Clarifying bulb (on UV versions), helping to kill any
single celled algae in the water.

The water then enters the outer chamber, which runs around
the entire circumference of the EazyPod. Between the outer
chamber and the inner chamber, there is a stainless steel
perforated screen. These perforations are situated in the lower
half of the screen and around its entire face. This means that
when the water passes from the outer to inner chamber,
a downward and upward flow is created. This causes many of
the larger solids to settle in the base of the outer chamber, due
to the force of gravity.

The size of the perforations will not allow large mechanical
waste to enter the inner chamber, thus acting as a first stage
mechanical filter. The inner chamber holds 18 litres of static
K1 Micro media. As the water enters the inner chamber, the
fine smaller solids become entrapped in the K1 Micro. After
passing through the K1 Micro, the clean water then rises and
overflows into the inner return pipe. From here it returns to the
pond via the return outlet.

The EazyPod Automatic filtration system gives water quality
and clarity that surpasses all expectations. The nature and
volume of the K1 Micro means, that when static, apart
from being a very efficient mechanical filter, there is more
than enough surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonise.
Therefore on a smaller pond, the EazyPod Automatic is an
excellent complete filter.

Cleaning overview

The K1 Micro is cleaned by the integrated air pump located
inside the control box, that is connected to the air line in the
EazyPod Automatic, which in turn goes to an air ring in the
base of the inner chamber. The air ring has small holes in it
which causes the K1 Micro to move and therefore clean itself.

During the cleaning cycle, the finer particles escape into
chamber from the K1 Micro. This waste water will be
automatically dumped via a 1½ inch motorised ball valve

*NOTE: If the circulation pump does not switch on, then the waste valve is not fully closed and you
will see both the green and amber lights illuminated. This safety feature is built in to ensure that
you cannot empty your pond.

Cleaning is fully automated on the EazyPod Automatic, and is controlled
by a built-in timer, which is factory set at one clean every 3 days,
however, this is easily adjustable to fit in with your pond requirements.

The EazyPod Automatic will run a cleaning cycle which lasts
approximately 6 and a half minutes.

EazyPod Automatic Cleaning Cycle

Adjusting the Cleaning Cycle

If you do not want to have your EazyPod cleaned once every 3 days, as is factory set, you can alter the
cleaning frequency to suit your needs. Simply turn SCREW A and SCREW B to point to the different
digits using the sequences shown in the tables below:

SCREW A - This screw sets the time of the cycle.
(Factory set pointing to 10 d)

Use a pozi-drive screwdriver to turn the screw head,
so the arrow on the dial points to the appropriate digit.

SCREW B - This screw sets the frequency as a
percentage of the time set above. (Factory set
pointing to 30%)

Pump Fed Install Only

By this we mean that if your pump
is going to be used to supply the
water to the filter, and the filtered
water then returns back into
your pond via gravity, i.e. down
a waterfall, or through a large
diameter pipe, this is referred to as
PUMP FED (i.e. the water is fed to
the filter using a pump).
