• The extremely versatile rotational ball outlet (Ex. 4)
provides you the ability to adjust the pump discharge
to the perfect position that your water feature set-up
requires. Loosening the threaded collar allows you to
rotate the upper half of the ball. A flat rubber washer seal
(Ex. 5) is included to ensure a hand-tight and leak-free
connection. Make sure the flat rubber washer is in place
before installing the fittings.
• Install the right-sized multi-hose adapter, based on the
diameter of the tubing you are using (Ex. 6).
• If using pipe with a larger diameter than the smaller fittings
of the multi-hose adapters, cut off the smaller section to
avoid any flow restriction (Ex. 7).
• Attach tubing to the fitting. If tubing is loose on the fitting,
use a hose clamp (not included) to secure tubing onto the
fitting (Ex. 8).
• Connect the other end of the pump tubing to the pond
filter, such as a biological filter, waterfall spillway or
pressurized filter (Ex. 9).

• Connect the pump to an
outlet that is protected by
a ground fault interrupter
(Ex. 10). Once the pump
is running and water is
circulating, check for any
leaks where the external
connections are made.
Using the AquaForce as a Winter Bubbler
• The AquaForce can also
be used to prevent winter
fish loss by keeping a hole
open in the ice during the
cold winter months. The
AquaForce helps ensure
there is sufficient oxygen
levels and proper gas
exchange in the pond,
helping to prevent fish
loss. For best results use the AquaForce in combination
with the Aquascape 300-Watt Pond De-Icer (Ex. 11). The
combination of the AquaForce pump and a pond de-icer
will further increase the pond’s oxygen levels, remove
potentially harmful gases from the water, and allow for a
back-up in case one of the devices stops working.
• It is important to not place
the AquaForce on the
bottom of the pond during
the winter. This may disrupt
the natural thermocline
found in the deeper
portions of the pond where
the fish overwinter. Instead,
place the pump at least one
foot above the deepest part
of the pond. The rotational ball should be turned upwards,
allowing the water to bubble at the surface of the pond
(Ex. 12). Bricks or stones can be used, if needed, to raise
the pump to the proper level.
