Pump Maintenance
IMPORTANT!
Failure to carry out routine maintenance and/or leaving the pump
with reduced/no flow rate for long periods will result in a shorter pump life and
will invalidate the warranty.
It is recommended to disconnect your pump and clean the impeller and
pipework monthly. Pipework will become blocked with waste and protein slime
over time, so regular cleaning is important for optimal performance.
The frequency of how often you will need to clean and inspect your unit of
course will depend on a lot of factors like how dirty the water is when you first
start using your pump, your pond volume and also how many fish you have.
How often you feed your fish and seasonal light levels will also affect how
quickly your pond water gets dirty and will need to be taken into consideration
when planning how often to clean your AquaECO unit.
Impeller
- can be accessed by removing the pump’s housing. Simply rotate it
in anti clockwise direction to release lock.
The impeller can then be firmly pulled away from the housing and inspected.
Ensure that the plastic propeller part of the impeller is attached to the
magnetic part and that they have not come apart or split. If this is the case you
need to replace your impeller. Wash parts with fresh water carefully.
Clean body and all attachments. Reassemble.
Pump casing
- can be removed by unfastening the casing clips on the side of
the pump’s body and lifting up the .upper filter cage
