Aquascape UltraKlean 3500 Biological Pressure Filter 19,800 L/Hr with 28 Watt UV Clarifier Sterilizer for Pond Water Feature - 95054

The Aquascape UltraKlean Pond Filter with UV and integrated electronic UV bulb-saver adjustment provides crystal clear pond water. The unit’s simple-to-use cleaning feature offers quick & easy backwash cleaning in less than five minutes without opening the canister or getting your hands dirty.

Features:

The Aquascape UltraKlean™ Pond Filter with high-output ultraviolet clarifier and integrated electronic bulb-saver filters ponds, providing pond owners with optimum water conditions and crystal-clear water. The unique sponge-free design minimizes maintenance and maximizes efficient mechanical and biological filtration. The included biological media packs tightly together, effectively trapping debris.

• Provides optimal filtration for medium to large ponds
• High-output ultraviolet clarifier eliminates green water due to single-celled algae which causes suspended algae blooms
• The UltraKlean Pond Filter includes a bulb saver timer feature that extends the life of the UV bulb by allowing you to set the operating time for the bulb based on the water quality conditions in the pond. For a cleaner pond, reduce the UV timer to the 12-hour setting (on for 12 hours/off for 12 hours) or the 6-hour setting (on for 6 hours/off for 18 hours). If you notice the green water beginning to reappear, you can increase the UV light operation time until the green water clears.
• UV clarifier/sterilizer on/off LED indicator light lets you know when the filter is running
• Self-cleaning backwash simplifies maintenance
• Additional BioBalls can be added to increase biological filtration if desired - up to 250 additional bioballs for UltraKlean 2000 and up to 500 additional bioballs for UltraKlean 3500.
• The “CLEAN” indicator light will illuminate to remind you to backwash the filter (approximately once every two
• weeks). It takes only a few minutes to clean, and there is no need to open your filter at this time. You can backwash the filter more often if you notice the water flow from the filter slow down. Press the “RESET” button once you have completed the cleaning operation.
• The UltraKlean Pond Filter can be set on level ground or buried up to 1” below the clips on the canister to help hide the filter.
• Includes mounting bracket and necessary fittings for easy installation
• 3 years limited warranty.

 Specifications:

• Max recommended pond size: 13,200L
• Max Flow rate: 19,800 L/hr
• Min Flow rate: 7,500 L/hr
• UV Wattage: 28W
• Power cord length: 6m
• Recommended Discharge hose Tubing: 25mm, 32mm or 38mm
• Recommended pumps: Aquascape AquaForce 2700, 3600 or 5200 or Ultra 2000.

Recommendations:

• Always unplug both the pump and the UltraKlean Pond Filter before releasing the lid clips to service the filter.
• All pressure filters, even when new and clean, will reduce water flow from pump by approximately 50%. It is recommended to use the largest diameter tubing possible (up to 38mm diameter) to achieve maximum water flow rates.
• Trim off smaller sections of multi-hose adapter to avoid water flow restriction.
• The UltraKleanBioBalls will clog over time and hence requires regular backwash cleaning. Frequency of Filter screen maintenance depends on the volume of water and number of fishes / turtles in the pond.
• For effective clarification, the UV bulb should be replaced after 12 - 18 months of continuous use.
• Do not touch UV lamp with bare hands as the oil from skin may damage the bulb performance.
• Make sure there is no moisture inside the quartz sleeve or on the bulb prior to operating. Inspect area around the ballast for any water that may have collected and remove.
• When pumping 100% of pond water through a pressurised pond filter, you will experience a reduction in flow, especially when using larger water pumps. The optional 2-Way Flow Control Valve will help to optimise contact time between UV lamp and water flowing through the filter, while minimising flow loss when using large pumps.
• Do not use lid clips to lift the UltraKlean Pond Filter as it can damage the clips. Instead lift the unit from under the lip of the canister, gripping the canister lip in between any of the clips.
