Permanent installations to the mains supply (hard wiring) must comply with the regulations
of the local electricity authority which may stipulate the use of metal or plastic conduit to
protect the cable.
If in any doubt about wiring to the mains supply contact a qualified electrician or your local
electricity authority.
Protect from frost. In cold winter weather (when fish are inactive and algae growth ceases)
the unit may be switched off. It should then be drained of water, removed (if possible) from
its installation and stored in a dry, frost-protected area.
Directions for use
Installation
Once installed the pond water will flow through the pump as the pump’s impellor draws in
water. It is always best to position your pump at the opposite end to where the water returns
to the pond to provide maximum circulation.
Your pond is supplied with a hosetail. This should be screwed into the threaded pump inlet.
Pond hose size 20-40mm (3/4” to 11/2”) can be attached to the inlet hosetail. Cut the inlet
hose to the size appropriate to the size of hose you are using. Then connect the hose from
your pump to your filter system or position it where you want the water to return. Ensure a
watertight seal by the use of hose clips.
Maintenance
Occasionally large solids make 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, remove the impellor housing and impellor. Use clean water and a small
brush to remove debris. Check that the hoses or the outflow are not blocked. A garden hose
can be used to flush out any algae.
Periods of operation
Protect your pump against frost damage. Take your pump from the water for the frost
period.
