Product Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:Please read these instructions thoroughly before use. Failure to follow instructions may result in equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death.

DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock:

• If the power cord has been damaged, DO NOT operate, the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter should be replaced.

• Prior to installation, inspect the quartz sleeve and UVC bulb to ensure there was no damage during transportation.

• Close supervision is necessary when the unit is used by or near children.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Connect only to a properly grounded receptacle, which is serviced by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter and never remove the ground pin from the plug.

• Provide a “drip loop” for the power cord. This is a loop in the cord below the level of the receptacle or plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord in the direction of the receptacle.

• ALWAYS unplug the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter from power source when it is not in use, and before installing, removing or servicing the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter components.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord may overheat if the cord is rated for less amperes or watts than the unit rating.

• DO NOT immerse the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter plug in water or attempt to use a wet plug.

• The ClearSolution™ G2 Filter is NOT suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds, or other situations where bodily contact is made with the water.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of equipment damage or failure:

• ALWAYS keep the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter completely submerged during operation for proper cooling.

• DO NOT place ClearSolution™ G2 Filter near flammable or other dangerous materials or objects.

• DO NOT use the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter with fluids other than water.

• ALWAYS unplug the unit if there is no water running through it to prevent over heating.

• DO NOT operate during freezing conditions. Drain the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter and store in a protected location.

• DO NOT operate the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter with a pump larger than the pump indicated by the unit specifications. Operating with a pump larger than recommended can reduce the UVC’s effectiveness or cause damage to the UVC and filter and will NOT be covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT: The Pond Guy® is not responsible for equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death resulting from failure to follow safety precautions, misuse or abuse of equipment.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:First, the water is pulled through the ClearSolution™ G2 Filter System by an energy efficient pump. The intake cover and media pads prevent large debris from entering and clogging the filtration system. Then, Bio media and Bio Media Rocks act as biological filtration and provide an abundant amount of surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow. This beneficial bacteria helps to break down ammonia and organic matter as it passes through the system. The final step is to pass water through the powerful UV Clarifier. This ensures the pond water stays crystal clear all season. The filtered water can now be routed back to your pond using the fountain with either the classic, bell or fan pattern, or by diverting water to a small waterfall or spitter.

Tools Required: • Soft, damp cloth• #2 Phillips Screwdriver• Replacement UV Bulb• Replacement Filter Media Pads• Replacement Quartz Sleeve if yours is cracked or damaged

Step 1Unplug UV and PumpUnplug the UV and pump, disconnect any plumbing and remove the unit from the pond.

Step 2Remove Fountain AssemblyUnscrew the diverter and fountain assembly from the unit.

Step 3Remove Intake CoverUnlock and remove the intake cover to expose the filter media.

MAINTAINING YOUR CLEARSOLUTION™ FILTER:


Step 4Remove Media PadsRemove and discard the old filter media pads.

Step 5Remove UV and PumpRemove the UV and pump assembly from the filter base.

Step 6Clean Filter BaseGently rinse any heavy debris from the filter base with water.

Step 7Remove UV HousingPress and hold the clip on the UV and twist the UV housing in the direction indicated to remove.

Step 8Remove Compression NutRemove the screw in the compression nut using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the compression nut to remove the quartz sleeve.



Step 9Replace UV BulbReplace the UV bulb by gently removing the bulb from the socket and replacing with a new one. Avoid touching the new bulb with your hands as the oils from your skin cause damage to the bulb.

Step 10Transfer Rubber CapBe sure to remove the rubber cap from the old bulb and place it on the new bulb.

Step 11Clean Quartz SleeveClean the quartz sleeve using a soft damp cloth. Any debris buildup will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the UV Clarifier. If your quartz sleeve is cracked or damaged, it must be replaced. Note: Condensation may form on the quartz sleeve. This cannot be avoided and does not impair the function or safety of the unit.

Step 12Reassemble UVOnce cleaned, reassemble the o-ring and quartz sleeve and lock into place with the tension nut and screw.

Step 13Connect UV HousingPlace the UV housing back on to the UV and twist to lock into place.

Step 14Test UVTemporarily plug in the UV Clarifier to test. The view window on the UV housing will tell you if the UV bulb is working.



Step 15Remove ImpellerRemove the pump cap to expose the impeller, then pull gently to remove impeller.

Step 16ReassembleWash all parts with clean water and check for any wear or debris trapped inside the pump. Reassemble the impeller and pump cap.

Step 17Reassemble FilterPlace the pump and UV back into the filter housing. Install filter media pads. Note: Media pads may be rinsed throughout the season anytime water flow is reduced. Avoid using chlorinated tap water or detergents, which will strip the media of beneficial bacteria.

Step 18Reinstall FilterReconnect the diverter and fountain assembly and any additional water features. Place the filter unit back into the pond. Plug in the pump and UV, and then adjust the fountain spray and diverter flow.

Winter StorageThe ClearSolution™ G2 Filter should not be operated during freezing temperatures and should be disconnected, drained, cleaned and stored for the winter.

TROUBLESHOOTING: If water is not clear, check the following:

• Check the UVC Filter to ensure it is operating. If the lamp is overheating it will turn off automatically. Allow the lamp to cool, UVC will automatically turn back on.

• Replace UVC bulb if it has not been replaced in the past year, even if it is operational.

• Check that the quartz sleeve is clean.

• Verify that the proper amount of water is flowing through the filter. See recommendation for proper water flow under Techical Specs.

Loss of water flow, check the following:

• Verify pump and filter intake is not plugged with debris.

• Verify the filter sponges, bio media rocks, bio balls or UVC are not plugged with debris.
