Installation
Filtral 2500
Unit assembly (Fig. A)
Assemble the branch valve (12), the connection element for the ball joint (19), the nozzle tube (11) with the clamping
screw (10), nozzle mounting (9) and nozzle insert (8), then screw the assembly on the connection thread of the UVC
water housing (26) including the washer (14). The fountain height and shape depend on the nozzle insert (8) used.
If required, connect an additional hose for features or a water course to the lateral separately regulated connection of
the branch valve (12).
If you only use the lateral outlet at the branch valve (12), close the upper outlet using the cover cap (38).
Filtral 5000:
Connecting the venting pump – option (Fig. V-Y)
If you wish to enrich the water with additional oxygen, connect the venting pump (Aqua Oxy) prior to installing the unit.
The Aqua Oxy scope of delivery includes the aeration stone and the hose.
Open the filter housing (Fig. V): Pull the clamps on both sides of the bottom strainer casing (2) to the side and lift off
the top strainer casing (1). Remove the foam filter (3).
Connect the aeration stone (figure W): Inside the housing, connect the aeration stone (25) with a section of the hose
(4) to the air connector (5) and place the aeration stone (25) between the gravel bags (24). Ensure that the hose is not
kinked. Connect the aeration pump (Aqua Oxy) to the air connector (5) outside of the housing. Read the aeration pump
documentation.
Close the filter housing (Fig. Y): Place the foam filter (3) in the bottom strainer casing (2). Attach the top strainer casing
(1) and press it onto the bottom strainer casing (2) until the clamps engage in the bottom strainer casing.
Important: Lead the connection cable (7) through the cable opening in the bottom strainer casing (2) and route the
cable such that pinching is avoided.
Unit assembly (Fig. A)
Assemble the reduction element (13), branch valve (12), nozzle tube (11) with the clamping screw (10), nozzle mounting (9) and nozzle insert (8), then screw the assembly on the connection thread of the UVC water housing (26) including the washer (14). The fountain height and shape depend on the nozzle insert (8) used.
If required, connect an additional hose for features or a water course to the lateral separately regulated connection of
the branch valve (12). For this purpose, screw the reduction element (15) and the stepped hose adapter (16) on the
lateral outlet of the branch valve (12).

Installation
Set-up the unit
Place the unit in the pond on a horizontal, firm and sludge free ground and ensure that it is completely covered by
water.
Setting the fountain/water feature (Fig. B, C)
Pull the nozzle tube (11) to the desired length. Undo the clamping screw (10), vertically align the nozzle tube (11) and
fasten the clamping screw (10) hand tight.
Fully open the rotary regulator (18) for the fountain. The rotary regulator (17) for the features or the water course is
also used to control the fountain/water feature. The additional water recirculation via the lateral outlet improves the
filtering effect, even if the feature or the water course is not connected.

Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
− Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
− Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
Attention! Ultra-violet radiation.
Possible consequences: Eye or skin injury from burns.
Protective measures:
− Never operate the UVC lamp outside its housing.
− Never operate the UVC lamp in a housing that is defective.
Filtral 2500: Opening the filter housing and cleaning the different filters (Fig. E-G)
Unscrew the branch valve (12) and the attachment elements. Pull the clamps on both sides of the bottom strainer
casing (2) to the side and lift off the top strainer casing (1). Remove the foam filter (3) and the UVC clarifying unit
including pump (20), and the fine foam filters (22), bio surface elements (23) and the gravel bag (24).
Clean the bottom strainer casing (2) and the top strainer casing (1) with clear water using a brush. Wash out foam
filters (3, 22), bio-surface elements (23) and the gravel bag (24) under running water. Do not use chemical cleaning
agents as they would kill the micro-organisms in the different filter media. At the beginning, this entails a reduced filter
capacity.
Filtral 5000: Opening the filter housing and cleaning the different filters (Fig. E-G)
Unscrew the branch valve (12) and the attachment elements. Pull the clamps on both sides of the bottom strainer
casing (2) to the side and lift off the top strainer casing (1). Remove the UVC clarifying unit including pump (20), foam
filters (3, 22), bio surface elements (23) and gravel bags (24). When the aeration stone (25) is connected, put it to the
side. Clean the bottom strainer casing (2) and the top strainer casing (1) with clear water using a brush. Wash out foam
filters (3, 22), bio-surface elements (23) and gravel bags (24) under running water. Do not use chemical cleaning
agents as they would kill the micro-organisms in the different filter media. At the beginning, this entails a reduced filter
capacity.
Unscrew pump (28) from the UVC water housing (26). Unscrew the pump lid (27) counter-clockwise (bayonet closure)
and remove rotor (29). Clean all components using clean water and a brush. After cleaning the pump, reassemble in
the reverse order.
Opening and cleaning the UVC water housing
Note!
A safety switch prevents switching on the UVC lamp as long as the UVC water housing is removed.
The UVC water housing (26) is fastened to the unit head (31) by means of a bayonet closure. Press on the engagement lug (30) at the unit head (31), turn the UVC water housing (26) counter-clockwise and carefully pull it off the unit
head (31). Clean the UVC water housing (26) under running water. Check the quartz glass (33) for damage and clean
its outer face with a moist cloth.
Note: For an optimum filter performance, we recommend to replace the UVC lamp after approx. 8000 operating hours.
Refer to 'Replace UVC lamp'.
Filtral 2500: Assembly of the unit (Fig. S-V)
Bolt the pump (28) to the UVC water housing (26) using the union nut. Insert fine foam filter (22) in the bottom strainer
casing (2), place the bio surface elements (23) and the gravel bag (24) in the bottom strainer casing (2). Insert the UVC
clarifying unit including the pump (20). Insert the foam filter (3). Attach the top strainer casing (1) and press it onto the
bottom strainer casing (2) until the clamps engage in the bottom strainer casing. Important: Guide the connection
cable (7) through the cable opening at the bottom strainer casing (2) and clip with the cable kink protection in the
bottom strainer casing (U, 37).
