Instructions for filter bypass when medicating pond
Turn valve to "Re-circulate". This will bypass the filter media. Note; The bacteria in your filter is aerobic which means it needs oxygen to keep living. You can keep the bacteria oxygenated during the medicating of your pond without allowing the medication to contact your bacteria by following this simple procedure;
1) Turn off the pump.
2) Turn valve to "Rinse".
3) Turn on blower for 30 seconds.
4) Turn off blower.
5) Turn valve back to "Re-circulate".
6) Turn pump back on.
* This procedure should be performed once every 3 hours for as long as the beads
are being bypassed.

10 Simple Steps to Easy Filter Installation
1. Place filter body on a level hard surface. We recommend pouring a small cement pad.
2. Attach the valve head to the filter body. Do not over tighten unions.
3. Adjust the position of the filter to create the easiest connection of the pipes to and from your pond.
4. Cement the one way valve in line between the pump and the filter. (Note; make sure the arrow on the one way valve is aligned on the top and is pointing toward the filter.)
5. Connect the pipe coming from the pump to the filter at the opening on the valve head marked "TO PUMP".
6. Connect the pipe returning to your pond to the opening on the valve head marked "RETURN". If you have an ultraviolet light, it should be installed after the filter.
7. Connect a pipe from the opening on the valve head marked "TO WASTE" to a pipe leading to an appropriate area to dispose of your waste water. This can vary from your garden to a sewer line.
8. Pour the rest of the beads into the filter and screw the "top cap" onto the filter. Tighten the cap down slightly with the enclosed plastic "top cap wrench".
9. Install the blower on the 2" check valve extending up from the valve head. Secure by tightening unions. Connect the electrical to the blower. We recommend that you have a competent electrician hard wire it to a GFI switch.
10. Place control value to the "Filter" position and turn on your pump. When water begins to flow through filter, check for any leaks. If you have no leaks, congratulations, you did it.
