Highlights:
Our SunSun bio pond filter is suitable for garden ponds up to 90000 litre.
With a pond filter capacity of approx. 180 litre, distributed throughout 3 chambers, it ensures a reliable of the water with minimum effort. The Filter is equipped with 8 coarse filter, 4 fine filters and 3 Japan-filter mats.
The pond filter is positioned at the banks of the pond and connected with a suitable pond pump (not included in the delivery, check the max. flow rate) in the water.
Measurements:
Measurements - distance to inlet, measured from bottom to the hole centre - 30, 5 cm
Measurements - overflow stages 1-2, measured from bottom to the hole centre - 29 cm
Measurements - distance to outlet, measured from bottom to the hole centre - 26 cm
Fundamental Functionality:
Pond filter combine the mechanical and biological cleaning. Microorganisms settle on the filter material and remove germs and bacteria from the water. By mechanical filtering, suspended particles and dirt remain in the pond filter and by this means no longer return to the pond water.
It takes about 4-6 weeks, until Filter Bacteria have sufficiently colonized the bio pond filter. Only thereafter t is advisable to switch on a UVC Pond Clarifier. Starter bacteria help to shorten the start-up phase of a new filter. Starter bacteria refer to microorganisms especially grown in a laboratory. By adding them, you can shorten the start-up phase considerably. Bacteria are active above a temperature of approximately 10°-12°C, the pond filter´s temperature should exceed 40°C. So the pond filter should be placed in the shadow and not be exposed to direct sunlight.
UVC-pond clarifiers irradiate the water in a flow-through reactor with UV rays. The UV-C radiation destroys the swimming algae. The algae agglutinate to large particles and ca be easily removed by means of mechanical filtering.
Our UVC clarifiers modify the tertiary and the quaternary structure of the algae proteins by means of UV-radiation. This means the destructions of the algae which can be removed from the water by pond filters.
Mounting Instructions:
According to the VDE Directive, the pond filter that is connected to a UV clarifier has to be installed at 2m safety distance from the water.
