Maintenance
Your pump performance will be reduced if the water intake is restricted in any way.
Occasionally large solids may block the holes in the filter cage surrounding the pump –
these should be carefully wiped away.
A clogged or dirty intake will put a strain on the motor and greatly reduce its performance.
If the area where the pump is stood is very dirty, raising its position slightly will assist flow.
To clean the pump more thoroughly first disconnect the pump from the electricity supply
and carefully remove the pump from the pond.
For quick cleaning your pump has a inlet at the front of the strainer cage through which a
garden hose can be used to flush out any waste.
To clean the pump more thoroughly you will need to remove the impellor housing and
impellor (to remove the external strainer cage see fig1). Locate and unscrew the impellor
housing security screw as shown in fig 3, this plate can then be twisted off to reveal the
impellor itself (fig 4). Remove any dirt/debris using clean water and a small brush and
reassemble.
