Instruction

  • Use Instructions: 1. Put the valve to position 1 FILTER''.2. Turn on pump and check all connections. Check that pressure gauge pointer is in the Green zone. Run filter with Foam Filter pad and Bio matrix Ball media at first.The Bio matrix Ball media works best when the filter's bacteria colonies are established. It takes a few weeks for the bacterial colonies to grow on the media and be effective for filtration. During the waiting period for biological filtration, the filter pad will collect debris and mechanically filter the water without disrupting the growing biological colony. If water flow becomes sluggish, the foam filter pad may have accumulated too much debris and should be removed, rinsed and replaced into filter. It may be necessary to do this several times until the biological filtration is established. After a few weeks the filter pad can be removed, rinsed and set aside for future use. It can be used anytime the pond is stirred up or appears to be cloudy.3) A backwash schedule should be established to maintain the bacteria colony level on the bio matrix ball media. This should be done every few weeks depending on your pond conditions. Bio load, sunlight, temperature and feeding habits all affect the need for backwash. The best way to tell when to backwash is to monitor water flow rate and the pressure gauge. If water flow rate diminishes or if the gauge indicator has moved to the top or past the green zone it is time to backwash. The backwash alone may not dislodge heavy bacteria colonies; it may be necessary to open the filter and stir up the Bio matrix media before backwashing. Note that for a more substantial power backwash, the Pond master Backwash Air kit can be attached to the drain valve to force 6 air through the media releasing the excess waste.
