Before reaching into the water, always unplug
the mains plugs of all equipment in the water.
Compare the mains electrical power supply

3. Function
The Pond Silt Remover sucks the pond water into the collecting
tank3via the adapter nozzle1and suction pipe2.
When the collecting tank is full, the Pond Silt Remover releases
the dirty water via the drainage hose
4
over a 25 second period.
Circulation system:
The water flows back into the pond
5
through the fine filter bag.
This means no pond water is lost, and the biological equilibrium
of the pond is maintained. The water that is fed back contains
biologically active floating particles. The resulting turbidity of
the pond can last several days.
Discharge system:
The pond water that is sucked out is discharged into the
environment. The fine filter bag
5
can also be used for this.
Fine filter bag:
The particles of dirt and pond silt that are collected in the fine
filter bag
5
can be used as fertiliser or disposed of in the
compost.
