The power cable must have a drop loop to avoid 

any condensation build up reaching the mains 
(see diagram 1). If the plug does get wet, DO 
NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or 
circuit breaker that supplies power to the 
appliance. Then unplug and examine for 
presence of water in receptacle.

 

 

Carefully examine your 

filter after installation. Do not 

plug in the unit to the mains if there is  water on any 
parts not intended to be wet.

 

 

If the unit shows any signs of water leakage, 
disconnect the power supply cord from the wall 
socket and consult All Pond Solutions or the 
retailer you purchased this unit from for further 
advice.

 

 

If the plug or unit does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. First, disconnect the circuit 
breaker or fuse that supplies power to the appliance. Next, unplug and inspect 
for water presence in the receptacle.

 

 

To avoid injury, do not touch hot or moving parts such as, but not limited to, heaters, 

reflectors, UV bulbs or impellers.

 

 

 

Please note 

– this appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and 

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and 
knowledge, provided they are given supervision and instruction concerning use of 
the appliance and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the 
appliance. Any maintenance must not be made by children without supervision.
