FAQs Bermuda Wi-Fi Pressure Filter

Yes, the Bermuda Pressure Filter  is a sealed unit and can be installed both above ground or in the ground. For optimal performance the filter outlet should be above the water level.

If the water is leaking around the hosetails, check that the supplied rubber washers have been fitted. Check that the hose is the right size for the hosetail and that the hose clip has been properly tightened.

If water is leaking from the clamp, check that it is done up properly and tight, and that the O-ring is present inside the filter casing.

If the water turns green, check that the UV is plugged in and running 24 hours per day. If more than 6 months old the lamp will need replacing. Check that the quartz sleeve is clean and clear, to allow the UV light to penetrate the water. Check that the pump and filter have been properly matched for pond size.
