1. Range of Uses for Your GARDENA UVC Pond Filter Set

The GARDENA UVC Pond Filter Set is intended for private use
in domestic gardens and allotments and should only be used out
of doors for cleaning garden ponds with and without fish.

F 5000 S: F 8000 S:

for ponds with a volume of for ponds with a volume of
up to 5000 l without fish / up to 8000 l without fish /
2500 l with fish 4000 l with fish

The GARDENA UVC Pond Filter Set cleans the pond water biolo­gically and mechanically and reduces the growth of algae. Algae
is bound together and pathogens (particularly in fish ponds) are
destroyed.

The GARDENA UVC Pond Filter Set is not suitable for
industrial use or in combination with chemicals, food,
easily combustible and explosive substances.

This radiation is harmful to eyes and skin.
➔ Never operate the UV unit when the

housing has been removed.

Electrical safety:

vv

Inspect the equipment before use to
ensure that the pump and the UVC unit,
especially the power cable and plug, are

undamaged.
Do not use a damaged UVC unit or pump.
Do not use the light if the connection lead,

glass tube or the housing of the UVC unit
appear to be defective.

If the pump or UVC unit is damaged, please
have them checked by our GARDENA Service
Centre or an authorised electrician.

The UVC-unit and the pump must be operat­ed via a residual-current device (FI-switch)
with a nominal fault current ≤ 30 mA (DIN
VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738).

v 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.

The information on the model plate of the
UVC unit must match the power supply.

The connection cable of the UVC-unit and the
pump cannot be replaced.
If the cable is damaged the UV unit must be
scrapped.

Do not use extension leads, connection leads
or adapters without a protective contact.

The fountain 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.

v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
Never carry the UVC-unit and the pump by the

cable. Do not pull on the cable to unplug the
plug from the socket.

Please protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Make sure that connection
points remain dry.

Always unplug the equipment when dis­mantling the set, when it is not in use and
before maintenance.

v Always disconnect the UVC unit and the

pump from the mains before undertaking

any work on them.

For Austria

In Austria power cables should correspond to
ÖVE-EM 42, T2 (2000) /1979 § 22 according
to § 2022.1. According to this standard units
used in swimming pools and ponds should
only be operated via an isolating transformer.

v Please contact your electrician.

For Switzerland

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

Notes:

Never operate the UVC unit without water
throughput.

Never let the pump run dry; running dry
generates heat and will damage the pump.

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

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

Safety switch:

If the UVC light overheats, it is switched off
by the built-in thermal protection switch. The
UVC light switches itself on again automati­cally when it has cooled down sufficiently.

Due to the integrated safety switch the lamp
only comes on when the UVC unit is properly
installed.

Positioning the filter:

v

Stand or bury the filter housing in a stable
position at least 2 m away next to the
garden pond.

The filter must be positioned higher than the
surface of the pond.

Bacterial Activity:

Extensive bacterial activity arises
from + 10 °C onwards.

The filter system is a biological system and
therefore, when newly installed, needs a few
weeks until it is fully effective.

If possible, the filter should be in permanent
operation from spring to autumn and should
not dry out.

3. Function

Water intake

Universal connection for the pump supply hose in the pond.

"

UVC-radiation

The pond water, which has already undergone preliminary
treatment, is subjected to short wave UVC-light (ultraviolet rays).
During this process, the algal growth is reduced and germs which
cause disease in fish ponds are killed.

§

Mechanical filtering

Dirt in the pond water is retained mechanically by the large outer
surface of the foam components in the filter.

$

Biological treatment

The biological pond water treatment takes place in two different
areas of the filter:

• Blue filter sponge/bio-surface elements :

This promotes the growth of micro-organisms which guarantee
the conversion of ammonia into nitrate via nitrite (nitrification).

• Black filter sponge/ lava stone:

This supports the growth of anaerobic micro-organisms which
promote denitrication (reduction of nitrate to nitrogen).

Water outlet

Connection nipple (11/4” ) to enable the treated water to be
