Hozelock Cyprio Ecocel garden pond

filters can be sited almost anywhere.

(See a,b,c Fig 1) and teamed with the

appropriate pond pump, they will remove

unwanted solids from the water and convert

dissolved organic and chemical fish waste into

harmless compounds. In addition, these filters

combined with UVC units will give

guaranteed clearwater, if the advice given in

the Hozelock Cyprio Filter Equipment

Selection Chart and on these instructions is

adhered to.

SAFETY

! This product is

NOT SUBMERSIBLE

, and

should be sited where it cannot fall into the

water or become waterlogged. However, the

design is weatherproof, and Ecocel filters can

be safely installed outdoors.

! Important – This product is not suitable for

use in direct sunlight over long periods of

time.

! Protect from frost. In cold winter weather,

when fish are not active and algae growth

ceases, the unit may be drained of water,

removed (if possible) from its installation and

stored in a dry, frost-protected area.

SIZING THE EQUIPMENT

The Filter Equipment Selection Chart overleaf

gives general guidelines on the specifications

of pump, filter, UV and flexible hose diameter

for garden ponds up to 10000 litres (2200

gallons), with stocking options for goldfish or

Koi. For best results the following condition

factors must also be taken into account.

DEPTH

Hozelock Cyprio recommends a minimum

depth of 1.2m (4’) for Koi ponds. For a pond

with an average depth of less than 0.75m (2’

6”) the Condition Factor is + 25% (ie add 25%

to the pond volume if less then 0.75m deep)

Shallow ponds are subject to full penetration

of sunlight, and warm up quickly. This

encourages the growth of algae.

LOCATION

Pond location determines the daily amount of

sunlight or shade a pond receives. Ponds

exposed to full sunshine throughout the day

have a Condition Factor of +25%.

CLIMATE

Climate affects water temperatures and fish

activity rate/feeding requirements. The more

active the fish, the greater the demands on

the filtration system.

In hot climates (i.e. South Africa), the

Condition Factor is +35%

In temperate climates (i.e. Southern Europe),

the Condition Factor is +15%

In a Northern European climate (i.e. most

areas of Great Britain), the Condition Factor is

+0%.

EXAMPLE

You have a 2250 litres (500 gallon) goldfish

pond 0.6m (2’) deep (Condition Factor +25%).

You live in London - a Northern European

climate (Condition Factor +0%). The pond is

exposed to full sunlight (+25%). The effective

volume of your pond is therefore increased

by 50% (25% + 25%), and you would need to

size your equipment as though your pond

held 3375 litres (750 gallons)

1.0 INSTALLATION

Important:

The pump supplying this unit must not

have a maximum head exceeding 6m (3.8

PSI, 0.3 Bar) The table in these instructions

will guide you through the best pump to

be fitted with your filter. Once installed

the water will flow through the filter as

shown in Fig 2

1.1

Ecocel filters are pump-fed, external

filters, ideal for being partially buried

adjacent to your pond or being positioned

above ground if desired. The filter may

also be concealed at the top of a waterfall

(See a, b, c Fig 1)

If you choose to part-bury your Ecocel

filter, the excavation should be firmly

backfilled with compacted sand or soil to

support the unit.

1.2

Ecocel filters incorporate inlet hose tails

to fit 20 - 40mm ( 3 ⁄4” – 1 1 ⁄2”) hose (refer to

Equipment Selection Chart overleaf) and

an outlet hose tail to fit 40mm (1 1 ⁄2”)

hose. The pump inlet and filter outlet pipe

should be at opposite ends of the pond

for optimal water circulation in the pond.

Bear this in mind when purchasing,

measuring and cutting the hose.

1.3

Cut the inlet hose tail on your Ecocel

Filter to the size appropriate for the

diameter of the hose to be used (See Fig

3). Then connect the hose from your pump

to this inlet hose tail and secure with hose

clips, available separately, to ensure there

are no leaks. Do not overtighten.

1.4

The filter outlet connector and overflow

moulding (2 off each on Ecocel 10000)

should be secured to the side of the vessel.

(See Fig 4) The outlet hose (if fitted)

should be secured in the same way as the

inlet hose. Avoid kinks and bends, and

keep hose runs as short as possible

(preferably less than 1m) to minimize flow

restrictions.

1.5 Wet Test:

It is essential that the unit is

wet tested. Connect the hoses to the inlet

and outlet as described in 1.3 above.

Switch on the pump and run for an hour.

Inspect for leaks and tighten connector if

necessary. If leaks persist then return the

filter to the retailer. This test should be

repeated when the foam is cleaned or

replaced.

2.0 FLOW RATE

2.1

The pond volume should pass through the

Ecocel every 1 1 ⁄2 - 2 hours, the fastest flow

rate being recommended for Koi ponds.

Do not exceed the maximum, as stated in

the Equipment Selection Chart overleaf.

Correct flow rate is essential if you are to

obtain clear water. If your installation does

not suffer from high losses of flow (i.e.

long hose runs) it may be necessary to

adjust the flow down to achieve the 1 1 ⁄2 -2

hour turnover rate using a Hozelock

Cyprio Flow Control Hose Tap.

2.2

Small diameter hose, unnecessarily long

hose runs and a high pumping lift (‘head’)

can all considerably reduce water flow

from the pump to the filter. We

recommend choosing a pump that will

deliver the required flow for the filter

against full static lift (= vertical distance

between pond surface and filter inlet),

plus 0.6m (2ft) to allow for friction losses

in hoses.

2.3

The object of filtration is to transfer waste

material from the pond into the filter, and

therefore any pump used as part of the

package should be capable of handling

solids. We recommend the Hozelock

Cyprio Titan filter pump, specifically

designed for ponds in the size range

covered by Ecocel. The pump should be

positioned on the bottom in the deepest

part of the pond, as this is where solids

accumulate.

2.4

How to check your flow rate:

Take a container of a known volume and

time how long it takes to fill (in seconds).

Then divide 3600 by the number of seconds it

takes to fill the container, and multiply by the

volume (litres or gallons)

of the container. The result will be the

flow rate in gallons or litres per hour ie

Flow Rate Litres per hour LPH = (container

volume m

3x 1000) / (3600/time ‘s’ to fill

container ). To get gallons per hour GPH

divide answer by 4.5

3.0 PERIODS OF OPERATION

Maintain filtration 24 hours a day

throughout the fish-feeding season (until

water temperature falls below 10ºC), but

preferably all year round. In the winter,

operating the pump and filter will

maintain a background level of friendly

bacteria in the Ecocel, and will help

prevent the pond icing over in all but the

severest weather conditions. If the pump is

switched off for winter, the filter media

(foam and/or plastic biomedia) must be

thoroughly washed before resuming

filtration in the spring, and your Ecocel

will need to be re-matured from scratch

(See ‘Maturation’ 5.0). Never feed your

fish when the filter is not in use.

4.0 FISH STOCKING DENSITY

Under normal conditions and feeding

regime, the Ecocel range will support up

to 50cm of fish (2 fish 25cm long or 5 fish

10cm long) per 1000 litres (10” of fish per

100 gallons) of pond capacity. Introduce

fish slowly over the first few weeks, up to

20% of maximum recommended level,

increasing this if you wish to 50% after six

months. The balance will allow for fish

growth.

5.0 MATURATION

Biological maturation means that the filter

has built up sufficient nitrifying bacteria to

convert harmful fish and other organic

waste (i.e. Ammonia, Nitrite) into harmless

Nitrate. The process normally takes 6-8

weeks, but is dependent upon many

factors such as water temperature, feeding

rate and stocking density. It is

recommended that you do not switch your

UVC on during this period. We strongly

recommend the use of Hozelock Cyprio

test kits at all times to check water quality,

but especially during this critical period.

The kits contain full instructions and

invaluable pond management advice.

6.0 CLEANING YOUR ECOCEL

6.1

Ecocel filters deliver maximum

performance with minimum maintenance.

However, as the foam blocks up less water

can flow through the foam and cleaning

becomes necessary. If the pond is very

dirty, the filter may need cleaning every

few days at first, as it takes up waste

matter very quickly. Once the pond

becomes clearer, there will be less waste to

remove and the filter will need cleaning

less often.

WARNING;

Prolonged running of the filter when it

needs cleaning will result in difficulty in

cleaning and may reduce the life of the

foam.

6.2

Switch off the pump supplying water to

the filter. Gently remove the lid from the

vessel. (See Fig 5)

6.3

Remove the foam sheet and rinse it in the

water left in the vessel (See Fig 6) Do not

over clean. Drain the vessel of all the

waste and water.

6.4

The spray head outlet (See ‘A’ Fig 7) from

the UVC chamber can be removed for

cleaning if required. To remove, unscrew

the spray head locking screw (See ‘B’ Fig 7)

Twist and unlock the bayonet and lift the

spray head away. (See ‘A’ Fig 7) To replace,

repeat the above in reverse.

6.5

Reposition the clean foam sheet. Ensure

the foam sheet is in contact with the walls

of the filter vessel around its entire

circumference and the dimples in the foam

are facing upwards.

6.6

Gently locate the lid onto the vessel and

snap down around the rim. Restart the

pump, checking for leaks, which if left

undetected could result in the pond being

drained of water.

7.0 WINTER STORAGE

IMPORTANT

When not in use, the unit should be

removed, thoroughly washed and cleaned,

dried and stored in a dry frost protected

area. Always store the unit with the lid off

to ensure adequate ventilation and drying.
