See Maintenance section for Lampreplacement.

The Hozelock Cyprio EasyClear™ hasbeen designed to allow fast and easymaintenance. As with all pond

equipment, occasionally it will becomenecessary to clean or replace parts.Refer to the safety sections beforeattempting any maintenance.

Fountain Head (Fig 1-I)Follow the below procedure if thefountain head is blocked:

1 - Place a coin or similar in the slotand gently lever off the fountain head.

2 - Rinse in clean water andreassemble.

FoamFollow the below procedure if flowappears reduced:

1 - Release the Foam Cover by pushingthe two buttons (Fig 5-M) and lift thecover (Fig 6-N).

2 - Remove the Foam (Fig 7-O). Note:-If the unit is out of the pond for morethen 20 minutes the biological filteraction may stop working.

3 - The Foam Cover and Base shouldalso be rinsed.

4 – It may also be necessary to cleanout the biomedia and stones (Fig 7-P) ifthese have become clogged.

5 - Reassemble the Filter.

Quartz Tube Follow the below procedure if yourpond remains green:

1 - Remove the bayonet locking screw(Fig 8-Q), twist and lift the bayonettube (Fig 8-R).

2 - Clean the Quartz Tube. Take extracare when handling the Quartz tube. Inhard water areas, the quartz tube maybecome covered in limescale, whichwill reduce efficiency. Clean the tubewith a soft cloth and a gentle de-scaler(such as vinegar and water), rinse inwater before refitting.

restart (Fig 8-S).

Warning! Ensure that the quartz tubeis not damaged before refitting.

Lamp ReplacementFollow the below procedure if thelamp needs replacing or does notilluminate:

Change the lamp at the start of thenew season. Even though the lamp stillglows it may not be giving out anyuseful UV radiation. How well theEasyClear™ performs is related to thestrength of the UV radiation produced.This will slowly decline from the dayyour lamp is switched on. The UVClamp has an effective life of 12 months.You need to change the lamp whenthere is a significant reduction in waterclarity. Make sure this is due to anexpired lamp and not a badlymaintained filter or a dirty/limescaledquartz sleeve. Both can greatly reduceUV transmission into the water.

1 - Remove the bayonet locking screw(Fig 8-Q), twist and lift the bayonettube (Fig 8-R).

2 - Remove the quartz tube, rotatingthe plastic moulding anticlockwise andlifting up and away (Fig 9-T).

3 - With the lamp now accessible pull itout of the holder (Fig 9-U) and push ina new lamp.

4 - Reassemble the bayonet tube andrestart (Fig 8-S).

Warning! Ensure that the quartz tubeis assembled correctly so that itprovides a completely watertight seal.

Check the condition of the two o-ringson the Quartz Tube Assembly (Fig 11-3). If these are damaged in any way oryou can not guarantee a water tightseal, contact Hozelock ConsumerServices.

Biological FilterNormally, there is no need to removethe biomedia as any cleaning may killthe colonies of bacteria that make toxicwaste harmless.

1 - Remove the foam.

2 - The bag of Kaldnes Biomedia (Fig 7-P) can be removed for cleaning.

3 - Wash in pond water.

4 - Reassemble the filter and restart.

Rotor Cleaning/ReplacementFollow the below procedure if the nowater is being pumped or flow isreduced:

1 - Release the Foam Cover by pushingthe two buttons (Fig 5-M) and lift thecover (Fig 6-N).

2 - Remove the foam (Fig 7-O),biomedia (Fig 7-P) and stone bag.

3 – Turn the unit over and remove the4 fixing screws (Fig 10-V) and lift thebase clear.

4- Remove the 2 fixing screws (Fig 10-W) and lift the Pump Assembly clear.

5 - Twist the Pump Chamber anti-clockwise (Fig 10-X) and lift clear. Therotor can now be pulled out forcleaning or replacement ( Fig 10-Y).Important! Take extra care so as tonot drop any of the small components.See Fig 10A for assembly of the rotor.
