5 Installation
We recommend to thoroughly clean the garden pond to ensure almost maintenance-free operation of
the FiltoMatic CWS from the very beginning. OASE's recommendation for this cleaning work is the use
of the pond sludge suction unit Pondovac. In general, cleaning work can be omitted when the FiltoMatic
CWS is used in a newly installed garden pond.
Installing the FiltoMatic CWS (Figure D,E)
Plan the installation of the FiltoMatic CWS. Careful planning and taking the environmental conditions
into account will lead to optimum operating conditions for the FiltoMatic CWS. The following points can
help you with your planning.
►A water course guarantees optimum water return from the FiltoMatic CWS to the garden pond. In
this manner, the filtered pond water is enriched with oxygen prior to returning to the pond. Should
the local situation not allow the installation of a water course, extend the outlet using a DN70 pipe for
the filtered water to return to the pond via the pipe. Please refer to the Installation chapter for the
installation of a DN70 pipe.
►Horizontal alignment of the FiltoMatic CWS is crucial to prevent drainage of the pond in the event of
an overflow. Carry out the alignment using a spirit level.
►Take the large volume of the FiltoMatic CWS as well as the resulting weight when filled into account.
Select a suitable ground or a bottom slab in the pit to prevent the FiltoMatic CWS from sagging.
► Plan sufficient space for movement to be able to carry out cleaning and maintenance work.
► Dig a suitably dimensioned pit for the installation of FiltoMatic CWS (Figure D). Take into
consideration that the FiltoMatic CWS can be buried up to the top recess (Figure E, height c).
Please use the following table as a basis for the pit dimensions:
Model a b c (+ bottom slab height)
FiltoMatic CWS 7000 approx. 50 cm approx. 50 cm approx. 30 cm
FiltoMatic CWS 14000 approx. 50 cm approx. 50 cm approx. 50 cm
FiltoMatic CWS 25000 approx. 50 cm approx. 70 cm approx. 50 cm
► Fill the container (3) with water prior to backfilling the soil to avoid compressing the container.
► Route the DN40 pipe end for the dirty water outlet at a distance from the pond that prevents the
pumped out dirty water from flowing back into the pond.

6 Installation
Installation of the FiltoMatic CWS
The FiltoMatic CWS is delivered pre-assembled. Assembly is reduced to the outlet and the inlet and
dirty water outlet connections.
The outlet sheath (8) for the dirty water outlet is transparent. In this manner, the degree of soiling of the
outflowing water is visible during future cleaning. Pumping can be stopped as soon as visibly clean
water flows out of the dirt outlet. Cleaning is then completed.
Installation of the outlet (Figure F)
1. Place the flat sealing (5) over the outlet screw (25) pre-fitted on the housing.
2. Screw the outlet (4) on the outlet screw (25).
3. If necessary, connect a DN70 pipe (26) to the outlet (4) as an extension to allow the filtered pond
water to return into the pond. Ensure a minimum incline of 1.5 % for the DN70 pipe.
As an extension for the outlet, OASE recommends the following:
− DN70 pipe, 480 mm, black (OASE Order No. 55034)
− DN70 pipe elbow, 45°, black (OASE Order No. 55044)
− DN70 pipe elbow, 87°, black (OASE Order No. 55045)
− DN70 pipe elbow, T, black (OASE Order No. 55046)
Installation of the inlet (Figure F)
1. Plug the inlet sheath (9) and the flat sealing (6) into the union nut (10) and tighten at the stop valve
thread (21).
2. Slide the hose clip (11) over the hose (24) arriving from the Aquamax. Push the hose on the inlet
sheath (9) and fasten with the hose clip.
Hose recommended by OASE: Spiral hose, green (OASE Order No. 52981)
Prior to the assembly, place the hose end in hot water for two minutes. It will then be easier to slide the
hose onto the inlet sheath (9).
Installation of the dirty water outlet (Figure F)
1. Fit the O ring (7) on the outlet sheath (8) and into the union nut (10). Then tighten to the thread of
the pre-assembled dirty water outlet (22).
2. Plug a DN40 pipe (23) onto the outlet sheath (8). Route the end of the DN40 pipe to a point where
the dirty water to be pumped out can trickle into the ground. Ensure a gravity of 1.5 % to 2 % for the
DN40 pipe.
As an extension for the dirty water outlet, OASE recommends the following:
− DN40 pipe, 480 mm, black (OASE Order No. 50307)
− DN40 pipe elbow, 45°, black (OASE Order No. 50308)

8.2 Setting the dirty water pump
In addition to the water temperature, the degree of soiling of the pond water greatly depends on the fish
population. The dirty water pump pumps out the dirt from the container bottom in intervals. The four
different cleaning programs allow individual adaptation of the interval for pumping off the dirty water
according to the degree of soiling. One cleaning cycle takes approx. 9 sec. and requires approx. 4 litres
of water. The table shows the cleaning program selection options. The cleaning program INTERVAL 1
includes the majority of cleaning intervals, INTERVAL 4 the smallest number of intervals. Select a
program that is best suited for the degree of soiling of the pond water. When delivered, cleaning
program INTERVAL 2 is set as a default.

8.3 Setting the UVC clarifying unit
The degree of soiling of the pond water by the formation of algae is notably determined by the water
temperature. With its UV light, the UVC clarifying unit operating under water removes green algae, as
such forming a significant component for pond water cleaning. Depending on the water temperature, the
UVC lamp of the UVC clarifying unit is switched on and off in intervals with the AU operating program. In
this manner it can be individually adapted to the degree of soiling. The following table shows the
operating program AU (Automatic) of the UVC clarifying unit as well as the operating statuses ON and
OFF.
Water temperature

10 Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
► Prior to reaching into the water, switch off the mains voltage to all units used in the water.
10.1 Cleaning foam filters
►Switch off the mains voltage prior to carrying out work on the unit.
Cleaning intervals depend on the degree of soiling of the foam filters. A higher water level in the soiling
indicator (Figure C, 12) in the inner cover signals that the foam filter cleaning capacity has decreased.
Cleaning is due from a degree of soiling of 75 % or in the event of an overflow at the latest.
How to clean the foam filters (Fig. H, I, J)
1. Open lid (1) with the rotary handle (2) and remove lid from the container (3).
2. Close the stop valve (17) by pulling it up.
− Pond water no longer flows into the container.
− Note: Water will spurt out of the air intake socket when closing the stop valve (17).
3. Pull foam filters (13) up several times.
−The foam filters will be compressed. The soiling will be washed out.
4. Press the PUMP key (C4) on the controller (15) for longer than 10 seconds.
−The LED (C2) is lit green. All of the dirty water in the container will be pumped out.
5. Open the stop valve (17) by pressing it down.
−The container fills up with pond water again.
Repeat the cleaning cycle if the foam filters are heavily soiled.
10.2 Remove and separate the cleaning components from each other
For cleaning and maintenance of the cleaning components of the dirty water pump (14) and the UVC
clarifying unit (16) it is necessary to take both out of the container. The controller (15) is fitted to the UVC
clarifying unit. The cleaning components are not permanently connected to the inner cover (47) but rest
in the guides of the inner cover (47) or of the stop valve (17) respectively.
This is how to remove the cleaning components (Figure K)
1. Open lid (1) with the rotary handle (2) and remove lid from the container (3) (Figure H).
2. Close the stop valve (17) by pulling it up.
− Pond water no longer flows into the container.
− Note: Water will spurt out of the air intake socket when closing the stop valve.
3. Lift the cleaning components of the dirty water pump (14) and of the UVC clarifying unit (16) out of
the inner cover (47) as one unit.
This is now the cleaning components and the controller are separated from one another (Figure
L)
1. Keep the engagement hook (30) on the UVC clarifying unit (16) pressed.
2. Remove the controller (15) from the UVC clarifying unit by applying force.
3. Pull the connection cable (28) of the dirty water pump off the controller (15) by applying force.

10.7 Thorough cleaning of the unit
Light-weight suspended matter is mechanically filtered by the foam filters and, if necessary, biologically
broken down. Suspended matter heavier than water will sediment out and soil the container bottom.
Thoroughly clean the unit once per year, preferably when you prepare the FiltoMatic CWS for the winter.
Fully drain the container
Full drainage takes a maximum of 4 minutes.
1. Switch off the Aquamax pump.
2. Open lid (1) with the rotary handle (2) and remove lid from the container (3) (Figure H).
3. Pull up the foam holder (13) three times (Figure J).
−The foam filters will be compressed. The soiling will be washed out.
4. Press the PUMP (C4) key for longer than 10 seconds.
− The LED (C2) is lit green. The container is emptied.
− You can stop the drainage cycle by pressing the PUMP (C4) key once. Once the container if fully
drained, when the dirty water pump switches off no water flows through the transparent outlet
sheath (6).
Cleaning the unit
For this purpose, remove the lamella separator (51) and the dirt pyramide (52). To this effect, completely
empty the container and remove the inner cover (47). Please refer to the chapters above.
How to remove and clean the lamella separator
1. Press down the engagement hook (50) and pull the lamella separator (51) upward and out of the the
guide on the container (3) (Figure V).
2. Press in the engagement hook (52) at the lamella separator top (51) and fold out both sections of
the lamella separator (51) (Figure W).
3. Clean both parts using clean water and a soft brush.
4. Reassemble the lamella separator (51) in the reverse order
5. Insert the lamella separator (51) in the container (3) (Figure Y).
−Ensure that the engagement hook (50) engages at the stop valve (17).
How to remove and clean the dirt pyramid (Figure X)
Only remove the dirt pyramid (53) if necessary. A great deal of force is required for disassembly and reassembly.
1. Reach beneath the dirt pyramid (53) and detach the pyramid from the three holders at the container
bottom by vigorously pulling up.
2. Clean the dirt pyramid (53) using water and a soft brush.
3. Wash out the container bottom.
4. Plug the dirt pyramid (53) onto the holders by applying a large amount of pressure.
−The engagement in the holders is audible by a click.
- GB -
An approx. 8 mm spacing is provided between the dirt pyramid (53) and the container bottom. This gap
allows the dirty water pump to pump off the dirt gathered at the container bottom. Take this spacing into
account during assembly. Do not attempt to press the dirt pyramid (53) fully down to the container
bottom by applying excessive force!
Prior to the period of frost starting, store the cleaning units dirty water pump (14), controller (15) and
UVC clarifying unit (16) in a frost-free place.
1. Thoroughly clean all components (see chapter Carry out complete cleaning) and check all
components for damage.
−The container (3) and the foam filters (49) need not be stored frost-free. However, completely
empty the container (3) prior to storing using the pump.
2. Cover the container (3) to prevent the ingress of water.
−The lid (1) being closed is not sufficient, as water can enter the container through the recess
provided for the controller.
OASE recommends the following cover:
− FiltoMatic Cap, size L, for FiltoMatic 7000 CWS and 14000 CWS (OASE Order No. 50268)
− FiltoMatic Cap, size XL, for FiltoMatic 25000 CWS (OASE Order No. 50269)
13 Disposal
Dispose of the unit in accordance with the national legal regulations.
