1. Where to Use Your GARDENA Pond Silt Remover

The Pond Silt Remover is intended for use in domestic gardens
and allotments. It is designed for removing particles of dirt up to
30 mm in diameter, algae, leaves, and silt from garden ponds.
The Pond Silt Remover can also be used to remove large particles
of dirt from swimming pools.

The GARDENA Pond Silt Remover is not suitable for continuous
use (e.g. industrial use, continuous suction).

3. Function

The pump "draws in the pond water via the suction unit !and
pumps it via the motive water hose §through the nozzle hous­ing $into the filter trough %. The jet of motive water streaming
through the nozzle housing $creates a vacuum in the dirty water
hose

&

.

The dirty water is sucked up with the adapter nozzles /and
pumped via the dirty water hose &and nozzle housing $onto
the filter sieves )and collecting basket (or collecting bag a.

The dirt is then filtered out of the water.
(The cleaned water is not drinking water.)

The cleaned water is returned directly to the pond so that you
do not loose any pond water.The biological balance of the pond
is therefore maintained.

The slow suction speed not only ensures optimum cleaning
results, but also ensures that flora and fauna in the pond remain
unharmed, and prevents stones and plants from being drawn
into the Silt Remover by accident.

The water that is returned to the pond contains (biologically active)
floating particles. The cloudy appearance of your pond caused by
these particles may last for several days.

If you accidentally suck up small creatures into the Pond Silt
Remover (e.g. water snails, beetles) you can remove them from
the open collecting basket

(

and return them to the pond.

You can then dispose of the dirt and silt on your compost heap
or with other garden refuse.

ing, and connect it to a 230 V mains socket.

Lay the 230 V mains connection on dry ground, protected from
carrying off into water. Take care that the pump cannot fall into
water.

completely under water at
the place you want to begin drawing in water, so that the dirty
water hose Ilies flat along the bottom of the pond.

once the pockets of air in the dirty water hose have dispersed.

If the water level rises in the collecting basket 4, remove and
empty the basket and clean the filter (see 6. Cleaning).

You may have to empty the collecting basket several times
depending on the size of the pond and the amount of dirt in the
water.

Avoid kinking the hose to prevent the dirty water hose blocking up.

in order to achieve a better filter performance.

1. Remove the collecting basket and if necessary the filter sieves
of the filter tub 1.

2. Pull up the collecting bag Pfrom the rear on the filter trough

1

and stretch with the elastic strip cord Q.
