3. General
Congratulations on the purchase of your new lter.
The SuperFleece removes waste particles from the
water. Biolter and protein skimmer are relieved and
the result is crystal clear water.
3.1 Features of the SuperFleece Filter:
- efcient mechanical ltration by ne lter eece
- automatic transport of the eece.
- easy changing of the used eece roll.
- the rolls are easy to change, up to 100 m length.
- the roll is 15 cm wide, for ow rates up to
2700l/h, depending on the water quality.
- minimum power consumption. Average below
0,1W.
- 12V safety voltage
3.2 Working principle
The polluted water passes the lter eece and enters
into the drum. From here it ows back into the
lter sump. If the eece is loaded with dirt, the ow
through the eece decreases and the water level
outside of the drum rises. If it reaches a certain level,
a level switch starts the motor, the drum rotates and a
small part of fresh eece is -fully automatically- loaded
on the drum. This process goes on depending on the
waste production in the system until the complete
eece is used and has to be replaced. The Fleece is
very ne. Even smallest particles are removed. The dirt
is ltered out of the system, before it is metabolized
biologically. This relieves the biolter. The pores of the
eece are even ne enough to retain many protozoa,
like sh parasites in fresh and saltwater. They cannot
pass the eece.
In the SuperFleece a level-switch is mounted. If the
eece is loaded with dirt, the ow through the eece
decreases and the water level outside of the drum
rises. If it reaches a certain level, a level switch starts
the motor, the drum rotates and a small part of fresh
eece is loaded on the drum. Fully automatically.
3.3. Construction
The eece is transported from the releasing roll to the
accepting roll. The rolls are driven by gear wheels by
gear wheels.
If the accepting roll is full – or the releasing roll empty,
it can be taken out of the lter easily. Both parts can
be separated and the eece can be discarded.

4.1 Inserting a new fleece roll
If the eece roll is replaced, it must be taken care, that
the O-rings at the left and right side of the new roll are
mounted in the right way. See the arrow on the gure
at the left. They prevent, that the roll is turning freely.
This keeps the eece always taut.
The eece is directed from the releasing roll over the
rst directing roll. The end of the eece can now be
xed to the drum (by a tape) or just pressed into the
drum. The drum is rotated carefully until the eece can
be reached from the other side.
Now, it is directed over the second directing roll and
xed on the accepting roll. This can be done with
tale as well. If the accepting roll is in place and the
transformer is plugged in the mains, the level switch
can be lifted lightly by hand. The motor starts and the
eece is pulled taut.
NOTE IN HIGHLY POLLUTED WATER:
If the water is very dirty the roll is rapidly
consumed. Then it may happen that the roll with
the trapped dirt can not dry quickly enough. It
is then so heavy that the motor can not turn.
In this case, we recommend when about half of
the eece is consumed, the eece is cut and the
dirty half is disposed. The remaining eece can
then be clamped again and used up until the
end.

4.2 Connections
Water inlet 40mm tank union/glue tting
Water outlet 40mm tank union/glue tting
Overow 25mm tank union/glue tting
4.2.1 Wasser inlet:
Gravity fed
If operated by gravity, the SuperFleece is placed
below the aquarium or below the water level of
the pond in the lter sump.
We recommend to use a pipe of 50 mm from
the overow chamber of the aquarium or from
the skimmer of the pond to the Supereece.
Use a exible coupling to connect the pipe with
the SuperFleece. If you glue the parts together,
the SuperFleece cannot be disassembled for
maintenance.
Pump fed
If the SuperFleece is supplied with water by a
pump, the maximum ow is 2500l/h. The water
inlet can be reduced by a reduction tting to
a hose connector. This connections should be
glued. The SuperFleece is placed above the
water level of the aquarium or pond. The water
ows back by gravity into the aquarium or the
pond. The return diameter should preferably be
enlarged to 50 mm, immediately after the Super
Fleece.
4.2.2 Water outlet
The water outlet may not be reduced. A 40 mm PVC
pipe should be presses into the tank union. You can
also use 50mm pipe along with a exible coupling.
From here a PVC pipe can be directed to the lter sump
or pond. The pipe should not be glued into the tank
union. If it is glued, the superFleece cannot not be
disassembled. Alternatively a 40 mm hose tting can be
pressed into the tank union and a hose may be directed
to the pond or aquarium. In any case, the water must
ow freely away from the outlet. Neither a PVC pipe nor
a exible hose may be directed higher than the outlet
of the SuperFleece.
4.3 Overflow
The emergency overow is a 25 mm tank union. Here,
you can press in a 25 mm PVC pipe. From here the pipe
is directed downwards in a free ow pipe. Alternatively
a 25 mm hose connection can be pressed into the tank
union and a hose can be directed to the pond or
aquarium.
5. Set Up
5.1 Pond, quarantaine:
The SuperFleece is placed above the water level and is
supplied with water by a pump. The puried water ows
freely back into the pond.
The motor of the SuperFleece has a power uptake
of 4W and is operated with 12V= safety voltage. A
transformer is included.

5.2 Aquarium (fresh and salt water)
The SuperFleece can be placed into the lter sump
below the aquarium. The water level in the lter
sump should always be 5 cm below the water outlet
of the SuperFleece. It must be guaranteed the water
ows out of the SuperFleece without any resistance.
Alternatively, it can be placed above the water level,
so that the puried water can ow freely back into the
aquarium.
Also assure the DC-motor is kept dry at any
circumstance.
