• Step 2: Lay out all the individual filter pieces.
• Step 3: Install the lid O-ring around the top of the base of the filter. It should fit snugly and almost snap into place.
• Step 4: Attach the top part of the filter and close the lid securely using the lid clamp. Attach the Click-Fit couplings and hosing. You should do this by connecting the hoses to the Click-Fit couplings and securing them with a stainless steel hose clamp.

• Step 6: Perform a water test before starting the filter to get a reading on pH levels. You'll want to perform another test 2-3 days later to make sure your Laguna pond filter is functioning properly.

Important note for Step 5: You can disguise your Laguna pond filter by placing plants and other pond foliage around it or you can partially bury it to keep the area looking as natural as possible.
