FAQs
Does this filter come with the pump?
Yes, the kit includes an AquaECO 12000 low wattage pond pump.
How often should I use the self-cleaning dial?
Use the dial whenever you notice a decrease in water flow or an increase in back pressure, typically once every week depending on pond debris levels.
Can this filter be buried?
Yes, because it is a pressurised filter, it can be partially buried up to the lid level to hide the unit from view.
What is the maximum pond size this filter can handle?
It is rated for ponds up to 25,000 litres.
Do I need to replace the bio-balls?
Bio-balls generally do not need replacement unless they become damaged, as they are designed to house beneficial bacteria.
How do I know if the UV light is working?
Most models feature a small viewing window on the lid that emits a faint glow when the UV light is operational.
Troubleshooting
Water flow has reduced significantly
Check the hosing for kinks and ensure the sponge cleaning dial has been activated to clear debris.
Pond water remains green
Ensure the UV lamp is functioning and check if it needs replacement; UV bulbs lose effectiveness over time and should be replaced every 6-12 months.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface above the water line or partially submerged.
- Connections: Secure the 38mm hosing to the inlet and outlet ports using the provided jubilee clips to prevent leaks.
- Power: Connect the filter and pump to a weather-proof, RCD-protected power supply.
