Maintenance
Hose Strainer Cleaning
In some applications where floating debris or
garbage is present in the pond, the hose strainer
may become plugged. In these applications, the
strainer will need to be cleaned on a regular basis
to maintain optimal performance of the SolarBee.
TOOLS RECOMMENDED:
Rubber Gloves
Garbage Bag
STEP 1:
Turn SolarBee off by placing the On/Off
switch into the OFF position.
STEP 2:
Locate the white float ball on one of the
floats. The float white float ball marks the chain
that attaches to the submerged strainer.
STEP 3:
Using rubber gloves, pull up on the chain
until the strainer is above the water. If there is
debris or garbage on the strainer, remove it, place
it in a garbage bag, and take it out of the pond to
prevent it from hanging up on the strainer again.
Follow all local laws and regulations when
disposing of any materials collected.
STEP 4:
Once all the garbage and debris are
removed, let the strainer sink back into place. It
is a good idea to setup your own schedule of
routinely checking the strainer for plugging based
on the amount of garbage and debris you find.
STEP 5:
Turn SolarBee back on.
