Problem
Low flow from pump
1.
Follow routine cleaning procedure.
2.
Follow monthly cleaning procedure.
3.
Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed
or kinked.
4.
Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called
Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the
more wear on the pump.
5.
Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest
distance and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss.
6.
The larger 1" hose fitting will give maximum pump flow performance.
If you do not require a fountain a significant increase in performance will
be gained by connecting the hose fitting directly to the pump outlet flange.
Poor fountain performance
1.
Reduced height.
2.
Jets blocked.
Clean flow adjuster and fountain
head. Wash under a tap or hose.
Blagdon Pond Pump Cleaner
should be used to remove lime
scale build-up/waste (see diagram)
for improved results.
No flow from pump
1.
Check power supply is on.
2.
Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3.
Follow low flow procedure as above.
If none of the above works contact Interpet (Blagdon) Consumer Advice
Department (See Faults problem procedure Page 13).
TROUBLESHOOTING
DAISY/TRIPLE
