1. Range of Uses for Your GARDENA UVC Pressure Filter Set
The UVC Pressure 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.
PF 10000 S: PF 15000 S:
for ponds with a volume of for ponds with a volume of
up to 10000 l without fish / up to 15000 l without fish /
5000 l with fish 7500 l with fish
The GARDENA UVC Pressure 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 UVC Pressure Filter Set is not suitable for industrial use
or in combination with chemicals, food, easily combustible
and explosive substances.
Pond and Filter Tip
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.
14
GB
In garden ponds the density of fish stock per cubic metre 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).
Where possible, the filter should be kept in permanent operation
and not be allowed to dry out.
When newly installed, the UVC-Pressure Filter Set only reaches its
full biological cleaning effect after a few weeks. Extensive bacteria
activity only takes place from a temperature of + 10°C or above.

2. Safety Instructions
V The safety instructions on the GARDENA UVC Pressure Filter Set must be followed!
WARNING!
V Read the operating
instructions before
using the equipment
for the first time!
DANGER !
V Ultraviolet radiation.
Protect eyes from flash.
This radiation is harmful to eyes and skin.
➔ Never operate the UV unit when the
housing has been removed.
Electrical safety:
DANGER ! Electric shock!
V Disconnect the pump and the
UVC device from the power
supply before carrying out work.
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 0100702 and 0100-738).
v Please ask your electrician for his advice.
15
GB
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 adaptors without a protective contact.
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.
v Please ask your electrician for 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.
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.
Note:
Operation of the pressure filter is only
allowed with pumps to a max. operating
pressure (see Technical Data).When using
a pump with a higher operating pressure,
the filter can leak, leading to the pond
emptying.
Do not subject the pressure filter to direct
sunlight and secure against falling in.
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 output must be positioned higher
than the surface of the pond.
Bacterial Activity:
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 (3/4” –11/2” ) 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 filter sponges in the filter.
$
Biological treatment
The biological pond water treatment takes place in two
different areas of the filter:
• Filter sponges / bio-surface elements:
This promotes the growth of micro-organisms which guarantee
the conversion of ammonia into nitrate via nitrite (nitrification).
• Lava stone:
This supports the growth of anaerobic micro-organisms which
promote denitrication (reduction of nitrate to nitrogen).
%
Water discharge with contamination display
Transparent universal connection (3/4” –11/2” ) for returning
the treated water with contamination display for simple
recognition of the need for cleaning.
