ULTRAKLEAN

POND FILTER

The Aquascape UltraKlean Pond Filter with UV and integrated

electronic bulb-saver adjustment provides pond owners with

optimum water conditions and crystal-clear pond water.

The unique design utilizes small plastic UltraKlean BioBalls

instead of sponges, maximizing efﬁcient mechanical and

biological ﬁltration and minimizing maintenance on the ﬁlter. The

UltraKlean’s simple-to-use cleaning feature allows for the unit to

be backwashed in less than ﬁve minutes without opening the

canister or getting your hands dirty.

This instruction manual will guide both the installation of your

ﬁlter and the recommended maintenance procedures to ensure

long-term effectiveness.

INFORMATION

Installation

• Use only in fully assembled state, and make sure that all

clips securing the ﬁlter top to the base are completely

snapped down into the closed position before turning on

the pump. See page 6 for more information.

• The UV lamp and quartz sleeve are fragile. Please inspect

for any signs of damage prior to installing, and check to

make sure quartz sleeve is threaded tightly.

WARNING: 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.

• The ﬁlter is weatherproof, but it is not designed

to be submerged into the pond. Submerging

the pond ﬁlter could cause electric shock

with AquaForce®Pond Pump

with AquaJet® Pond Pump with Ultra Water Pump

and will void the product warranty.

• If located in a cold freezing climate, remove

pond ﬁlter in winter months. Drain the ﬁlter

completely and store in a frost-free location.

• Do not ﬁlter hazardous materials or liquids such as oil,

saltwater, or organic solvents.

• Do not block or restrict the ﬁlter discharge.

See page 7 for more information.

• Products returned must be cleaned, sanitized, or

decontaminated as necessary prior to shipment. This

will ensure that employees will not be exposed to health

hazards in handling said material. All applicable laws and

regulations shall apply.

IMPORTANT: Aquascape, Inc. is not responsible

for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure

to observe these safety precautions or misuse/

abuse of ﬁlters, pumps, and other equipment.

Typical Installation

IMPORTANT! It is recommended that the pump not

be positioned in the deepest area of the pond. This

will protect the ﬁsh by preventing the pond from

completely draining in the case of a leak in the plumbing or ﬁlter.

Bricks or stones can be used, if needed, to raise the pump up

from the bottom of the pond.

Pump Recommendation

• The Aquascape

AquaForce®Pond

Pump is ideal for use

with the UltraKlean

Pond Filter. The

AquaForce®Pond

Pump pre-ﬁlter cage

allows for the pump

to be submerged

directly in the pond

and reduces ﬁlter

maintenance by preventing larger debris from reaching the

UltraKlean Pond Filter. Other in-pond pump makes and

models can also be used.

AquaForce®Pond Pump

• Before lowering the lid and UV assembly into the canister,

inspect the O-ring in the top of the canister to be sure the

O-ring and recessed area the O-ring sits in is clean and

free of any debris which could cause a water leak. Silicone

oil can also be used, if needed, to help grease the O-ring.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the O-ring is fully

seated in the groove around the entire

canister before attaching the lid.

• Fill the canister about

half way with water.

The water will allow the

UltraKlean BioBalls to

shift around the UV tube,

making installation of the

• The UltraKlean Pond Filter

includes UltraKlean BioBalls

that must be removed

from their bags prior to

use. Additional UltraKlean

BioBalls (#95055) can be

added to increase biological

• When pumping 100% of pond water through a pressurized

pond ﬁlter, you will experience a reduction in ﬂow,

especially when using larger water pumps. The optional

2-Way Flow Control Valve (Item #88005) will allow you to

achieve the following:

1. Optimize contact time between UV lamp and water

ﬂowing through the ﬁlter.

2. Minimizing ﬂow loss when using large pumps.

• The UltraKlean Pond Filter is designed to be located

outside the pond. We recommend placing it in a location

that is easy to hide as well as accessible for maintenance.

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.

NOTE: The lid clips may require force in order for

the lower portion of the clip to lock securely to place.

• Do not use lid clips to lift the UltraKlean Pond Filter. This

could damage the clips. Instead lift the unit from under the

lip of the canister, gripping the canister lip in between any

of the clips.

• The UltraKlean Pond Filter includes

three plumbing ports:

• In – Pipe from pump

• Out – Pipe back to pond

• Wash – Connection to backwash

• Carefully align the indented lid

clamping spots with the clips

on the canister, making sure

that the tab on the lid lines up

with the tab on the tank. This

will allow for easy removal of

the lid. Once aligned, close

all the lid clips tightly. This

will seal the UltraKlean Pond

Filter lid to the canister.

IMPORTANT: Do not use tools to attach the

ﬁttings. Fittings should be hand-tightened

and installed with the ﬂat rubber gaskets

(in each ﬁtting) to achieve leak-free seals

• Due to the wide variety of different tubing/pipe measuring

standards used throughout the pond industry, Aquascape

has included different-sized tapered ﬁttings with your new

ﬁlter. We recommend selecting the ﬁttings that best ﬁt your

new or current tubing/pipe.

• Thread the selected multi-hose adapters hand-tight to

the in, out, and discharge shutoff valve with the included

ﬂat rubber gaskets. Putting the ﬁttings on the ﬁlter before

attaching the tubing/pipe will make it easier to make the

connection.

Note: We recommend using the largest diameter of tubing

possible in order to achieve maximum water ﬂow (up to

1.5” inch diameter). If using a pipe diameter larger than

the smallest section of the multi-hose adapter, trim off the

smaller sections to avoid ﬂow restriction (see below).

• Attach the tubing/pipe onto the ﬁtting with a twisting

motion, pushing it into place.

Note: In some instances the tubing/pipe may be tight and

difﬁcult to use with the ﬁtting barbs. If this is the case, we

recommend heating the tubing with the use of a hair dryer

or simply dipping it for a few seconds in very hot water.

Lubrication can also be used; we recommend silicone

grease or olive oil.

• Attach a section of tubing to the multi-hose ﬁtting

connected to the discharge shutoff valve. The

backwashed water can be discharged to an area of your

yard or garden. This nutrient-rich waste makes for an

excellent fertilizer.

• We recommend using a hose clamp (not included) to

secure tubing onto each ﬁtting.

Note: If not using the discharge shutoff valve, attach

the included backwash cap to the wash port when not

performing a backwash.

• After completing the plumbing, plug the pump and the

UltraKlean Pond Filter into an outlet that is protected by

a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Once the pump

is running and water is circulating through the UltraKlean

Pond Filter, check for any ﬁtting leaks where the external

connections are made. Since the ﬁlter is located outside

the pond, even a small leak must be corrected.

Operation and Maintenance

• The following diagrams illustrate the ﬂow of water during

the “Filtration” setting and the ﬂow of water during the

“Backwash” setting.

UltraKlean Pond Filter Biological Start-Up

• The biological ﬁltration process is nature’s way of breaking

down ﬁsh waste and other pond debris into harmless by-

products. To be successful, allow anywhere from three to

six weeks for biological ﬁltration to be fully functional. The

pump supplying water through the UltraKlean Pond Filter

should be operated 24 hours a day in order to maintain the

biological function of the ﬁlter.

Filter Cleaning

• 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.

Backwashing the UltraKlean Pond Filter

• Unplug or shut off power to pump before beginning

backwash process.

• Fully open the discharge shutoff valve. If not using the

included discharge shutoff valve, remove the backwash

cap from the port on the lid of the ﬁlter.

• If using the included discharge shutoff valve, rotate the

backwash valve 90 degrees counter-clockwise to the

“CLEAN” or backwash position.

• If not using the discharge shutoff valve, attach the

appropriate multi-hose adapter to the backwash port.

Then, attach a section of tubing that can discharge the

water to your yard or garden before rotating the backwash

valve 90 degrees to the “CLEAN” position.

Note: The valve can be a little stiff to turn, if it hasn’t been moved

in a while. Do not use tools which might crack the handle.The valve

assembly can be removed from the lid for cleaning and lubrication

with silicone grease. We recommend doing this if the valve becomes

very stiff to turn.

UV Operation

The UltraKlean Pond Filter with UV prevents/eliminates

single-celled algae commonly referred to as green water.

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.

• Setting the UV Timer – If the pond water has a planktonic

algae bloom (green water) then use the “Select UV Time”

button to set the UV timer to the 24-hour setting (always

on). In general the cleaner and clearer the pond water, the

less the UV light needs to be operated. Once the green

water is cleared you can 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.

• Bulb Life – For effective clariﬁcation, the UV bulb

should be replaced after 12 months of continuous use

when operated on the 24-hour setting. The bulb saver

feature can extend the life of the bulb up to 2 years

when operating on the 12-hour setting or 4 years when

operating on the 6-hour setting. Please note: even

though the UV bulb still emits light, it may have lost its

effectiveness at clarifying if the recommended operating

duration has been exceeded.

• Cleaning/Replacing the Quartz Sleeve – A dirty quartz

sleeve will reduce the effectiveness of the UV bulb. Debris

and mineral deposits can be cleaned using a mild acid

like white vinegar or a non-abrasive calcium, lime, or rust

remover with a soft bristled brush or sponge.

3. Remove the set screw holding the UV light tube in place

under the UV ballast. Please note: use a properly-sized

Phillips screw driver small enough to grip the set screw.

4. Twist counter-clockwise and lift to remove it and expose

the quartz sleeve.

2. Once the clips are released, use the lid and tank tabs to

gently lift the lid assembly free from the canister. The lid

may be difﬁcult to lift due to the pressure inside the ﬁlter.

Loosening one of the plumbing ﬁttings will reduce the

pressure, making it easier to remove the lid.

To access the

quartz sleeve:

1. Unplug both

the pump and

the UltraKlean

Pond Filter.
