MAINTENANCE
• Occasional cleaning of the lter pads will be necessary to ensure the
proper functioning of the lter. The coarse lter pad is a designed to
trap large debris. The ne lter pad catches smaller particles. All pads
should be removed and washed with clean water when they are visibly
soiled - for best results, clean the lter pads weekly.
• Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
• Filter pads should be replaced annually. Use smartpond®
Replacement Filter Pads model #MFRP / #MFRPCA.
• The exterior surface of the lter box may also need occasional
cleaning. Particularly if the openings in the top of the lter box are
obstructed. When cleaning the lter box use warm water only. Do not
use any chemicals that may destroy the benecial bacteria.
NOTE: The bio-balls in your lter system and the inside surfaces of the
lter box contain the benecial bacteria. At least once a year the entire
system should be disassembled and cleaned thoroughly using warm
water. This should not be done during the warm season as it may take
up to 8 weeks to re-establish the environmental balance. The best time
of the year to “breakdown” your system is in early spring before the
water temperatures begin to rise. This is also the ideal time to replace
the lter pads.
• Reconnect the pump to the power source when you are nished.
