4 Installation and connection
4.1 Installation planning
F, G
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injuries caused by electric shock from electrical units operated in
or near water.
Protective measures for accessible ponds:
• Only use electrical units or installations with a rated voltage of U
AC
≤ 12 V or UDC ≤ 30 V in the water.
• Electrical installations with a rated voltage of U
AC
> 12 V or UDC > 30 V must be located at a distance of at
least 2 m from the water.
Protective measures for non-accessible ponds:
• Electrical installations with a rated voltage of UAC > 12 V or UDC > 30 V must be located at a distance of at
least 2 m from the water.
Note:
Use suitable transport and lifting aids to transport and install the unit.
The unit weighs more than 25 kg. (→ Technical data)
Distance from the pond
Electrical components of the filter system operate with a rated voltage of U
DC
= 12 V. The supply voltage is
supplied via an external transformer connected to the mains.
• Filter system without UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system can be installed directly next to the water. No minimum distances apply. The trans-
former must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• Ponds that can be accessed by persons, filter systems with UVC clarifier fitted:
– The filter system and transformer must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• Ponds that cannot be accessed by persons, filter systems with OASE UVC clarifier of the Bitron Eco series:
– The filter system may be installed directly next to the water No minimum distances apply. The trans-
former must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.
• Ponds that cannot be accessed by persons, filter systems with OASE UVC clarifier of the Bitron C or
Vitronic series:
– The filter system and transformer must be located at a distance of at least 2 m from the water.

Optimum ambient and operating conditions
Optimum operating results can be obtained with careful planning, taking the ambient conditions into account.
• As the filter is very heavy when filled, it must be placed on a suitable base (at least on slabs, but preferably
on a poured concrete base) to prevent it from subsiding.
• Align the base slab horizontally.
• Ensure sufficient room for movement for carrying out cleaning and maintenance work.
• Allow the dirty water to drain out into a drain or far enough away from the pond to ensure that it cannot flow
back into the pond.
• Do not position the inlet into the pond higher than the outlet of the filter system (e.g. above a water course
or waterfall).
Note:
A water course or waterfall guarantees optimum water return to the pond.
In this way, the filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen before it is returned to the pond.
4.2 Connecting the inlet
The filter system has two inlets with stepped hose adapters.
• For connecting a filter pump
• For connecting a UVC clarifier (→ Connecting a UVC clarifier)
• If an inlet is not used, fit a closed stepped hose adapter.
– The stepped hose adapters are delivered closed.
Prerequisite:
• The container is open. (→ Opening the container)
• The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
How to proceed:
H
1. Shorten the stepped hose adapter to the diameter of the hose used.
– This reduces pressure losses.
2. Insert the stepped hose adapter with flat seal into the inlet opening.
3. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– BioTec ScreenMatic² 140000: Alternatively fit a 50 mm (2") hose connector.
4. Slip the hose clip over the hose, fit the hose onto the hose connector and secure with the hose clip.
4.3 Connecting a UVC clarifier
Prerequisite:
• The container is open. (→ Opening the container)
• The screen holder is hinged up. (→ Hinging the screen holder up/down)
How to proceed:
I
1. Fit the UVC clarifier with flat seal into the inlet opening.
2. Screw the distributor nut with O ring onto the stepped hose adapter and hand tighten.
– Read the UVC clarifier operating instructions.

4.4 Connecting the outlet
• Use suitable pipes.
• Do not use any right-angled bends. Bends with a maximum angle of 45° are very efficient.
• Standing water in pipes can freeze when there is a hard frost and cause pipes to burst. For this reason, lay
the pipes and hoses with a gradient (50 mm/m) to ensure that they can run empty.
• Pipe dimensions: (→ Technical data)
Fitting the DN 110 outlet
BioTec ScreenMatic² 140000: The outlet is not fitted on delivery.
Prerequisite:
• The container is open. (→ Opening the container)
How to proceed:
J
1. Fit the O ring onto the outlet.
2. Fit the outlet into the respective hole of the container wall from the outside.
– Ensure that the raised marking is at the top and aligned in relation to the hole pattern.
3. Fasten the outlet from the inside with oval head screws.
– Tighten all screws diagonally using the cordless screwdriver to ensure that the sealing ring is uniformly
applied. Further tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.
4.5 Connecting the dirt outlet
The water in the container can be drained via the dirt outlet with slide valve at the bottom of the container
when required (for cleaning, repair, overwintering).
• Connect the pipe and drain the dirty water, for example, into a flower bed or into the sewage system.
• Pipe dimensions: (→ Technical data)
4.6 Carry out the electrical connection
How to proceed:
K
1. Thread the connection cable through the opening in the container wall and seal off the opening using the
sealing plug.
– Ensure that the connection cable inside the container is sufficiently long so that it is not subjected to ten-
sion when the ScreenMatic rotating screen unit is hinged up.
– Avoid tangling of the cable inside the container.
2. Connect the plug of the connection cable to the socket on the transformer and hand-tighten the union nut.
5 Commissioning/start-up
Note!
Remove the protective film from the substrate tubes and insert the substrate tubes into the container.
(→ Cleaning/replacing the substrate tubes)
• The substrate tubes are sealed in protective film on delivery.
• Thoroughly clean the pond before starting up the filter system for the first time to ensure that the filter sys-
tem is not overloaded by excessively soiled water. OASE recommends using the PondoVac pond vacuum
cleaner for cleaning the pond.
– This cleaning measure is normally not necessary for newly installed ponds.
• It is necessary to operate the filter system for 24 hours a day during the pond season.
Page 18

5.1 Biological filter starter
The foam filters take several weeks to reach their full biological cleaning effect. We recommend using the
OASE filter starter Biokick to ensure fast growth of bacterial populations. Micro-organisms colonise the filter
system, multiply and ensure an enhanced quality of the pond water by the decomposition of excess nutrients.
Note!
The final water level is not reached in the container until the bacteria are established and the filter becomes
fully effective.
• The water level is initially lower when new foam filters are fitted; the foam filters are not completely covered
by the water.
5.2 Order of starting up steps
How to proceed:
1. Close the slide valve of the dirt outlet.
2. Check that the filter system (pipes and hoses) is complete.
3. Remove the container cover.
4. Connect the transformer for the control device to the power supply.
5. Switch on the filter pump and UVC clarifier (if applicable).
– Ensure that the water is returned to the pond via the return pipe.
6. Check all pipes, hoses and their connections for leaks.
– Expansion seals may leak initially until they have fully expanded on contact with water.
7. Adjust the control device to the flow rate if necessary. (→ Aligning the control device)
8. Check the function of the ScreenMatic rotating screen unit. (→ Operation)
9. Fit the container cover.
When using filter starter, medicines or pond water treatments, leave the UVC clarifying unit switched off for at
least 36 hours so as not to impair their efficacy.
5.3 Aligning the control device
Do not align the control device until after the running-in period
• Lowering the pump into the pond may swirl up so much debris that starting up the filter system straight
away could cause the ScreenMatic screen to overflow.
• The filter system requires a running-in period of 2 to 3 hours. After this, the control device can be aligned if
necessary.
• Align the control device such that the sensor only switches when a well-formed line of debris has formed on
the screen.
– A well-formed line of debris can be optimally removed by the stripper and conveyed into the debris tray.
– The stripper brush under the ScreenMatic screen collects the fine debris, which falls into the debris tray.
How to proceed:
L
1. Remove the screw from the control device and take out the control device.
2. Insert the control device into the determined position, insert the screw and hand tighten.
Aligning the control device depending on the degree of soiling of the pond
In order to prevent premature soiling of the foam filters, ensure that the dirty water does not flow beyond the
"Max. water jet" mark directly into the debris tray.
• Do not change the position of the control device unless the water flows as far as or beyond the "Max. water
jet" mark, even when the ScreenMatic screen has been cleaned (with the enclosed brush).

• Press the button again for 1 s: The rotational movement stops prematurely.
6.3 Automatic cleaning
Due to the build-up of debris the water level on the ScreenMatic screen also rises. When the sensor in the
control device comes into contact with the water, it triggers the rotational movement of the ScreenMatic
screen.
By briefly moving the ScreenMatic screen back several times a larger line of debris is formed, which can be
better removed by the stripper.

9 Storage/Over-wintering
The unit is protected from frost:
The unit can be operated as long as the water temperature does not go below +4 °C.
The deeper areas of the pond have a water temperature of approx. +4 °C in winter and are essential for the
fish. By taking the following measures it is possible to reduce the cooling effect on the water of the circulation
by the filter system:
• Position the pump nearer to the surface of the water so that only colder water closer to the surface of the
pond enters the pump.
• Insulate the return pipes from the filter system into the pond.
• Do not allow water to flow into the pond via a water course.
The unit is not protected from frost:
Take the unit out of operation at water temperatures below +8° C or, at the latest, when freezing temperatures
are to be expected.
• Drain the unit as far as possible, clean thoroughly and check for damage.
• Empty all hoses, pipes and connections as far as possible.
• Leave the slide valves open.
• Cover the filter container to prevent the penetration of rain water.
• Protect pipes and slide valves that are in contact with water from frost.
