Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How often should the filter foams be cleaned? It is recommended to clean the filter foams every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the organic load of the pond, to maintain optimal performance.
2. How do I replace the UV-C lamp, and how often? The UV-C lamp should be replaced annually to ensure maximum effectiveness. Replacement is simple: unscrew the clarifier lid, remove the old lamp, and install the new one, taking care not to touch the glass with your fingers.
3. Can the system run continuously, or should it be stopped periodically? For optimal water quality, it is recommended to run the filtration system continuously. This ensures constant water circulation and effective filtration.
4. Is it possible to partially bury the filter for better landscape integration? The filter is designed to be installed above the water level in a gravity position. It is not recommended to bury it completely, but discreet landscape integration can be achieved by camouflaging it with appropriate decorative elements.
5. Where can I buy spare parts or additional accessories for this system? Spare parts and accessories are available from authorized Ubbink dealers, specialty aquarium stores, or online sites dedicated to pond equipment.
