the pump to your supplier for diagnosis & advice.
Operation:
1. Place the pump in the water near the bottom of the feature.
2. Measure and then Connect the water features tube to the outlet of the pump. Make sure there are
no kinks in the tube.
3. Set the flow volume by hand initially to the maximum.
4. Fully submerse the pump into the water of the water feature and check it has a stable positions
before suctioning the feet to the side/ bottom of the water feature reserve water tank 90 mm 180 mm
4. Turn the pump on, adjust the flow as required and check for any splash wastage of water.
Maintenance & Cleaning:
WARNING
Disassembling the motor or any alteration to the power cord will void the warranty as the
power cord is moulded into the casing and is not replaceable.
In case of damage to the cord, the whole pump will need to be replaced.

Regular Care:

This pump is lubricant free & requires minimal maintenance to keep the pump operating in the best
condition with a long life-span. Simply follow these easy maintenance steps below
periodically or if the pump stops working.
1. Disconnect the pump from the power sources & move it to a dry safe place.
2. Unclip the base pre-filter so that you can take out the pump Impeller to clean it & the housing.
3. On the pump, release the impeller cover guard & take out the vortex rotor assembly from pump
body.
4. Clean all the parts with running water.
5. After cleaning, assemble the rotor carefully and return to the pump body making sure that the 2
locating holes on the impeller cover & the 2 locating pins on main body fitted together snugly before
inserting the Impeller and installing the rotor assembly properly.
6. Turn the impeller gently to check that it is secure and correctly inserted so that it can turn smoothly.
At this point make sure that the sealing ring is in its place.
8. Return the impeller cover to the pump body.
9. Then reconnect the power & return the pump to its place.
Winter Care:
If you pond freezes over during winter, the pump should be removed from the pond, cleaned and
stored properly.
We recommend storing the pump in a bucket of water. This is to prevent the bearings from drying out
and potentially seizing.
This is especially important if you have been using your pump in a hard water area. The water will
help dissolve the calcium or lime-scale deposits.
You can add mild acid solution, such as vinegar or lemon juice to the water to be more effective.
Special Care for hard water:
if you live in a hard water area (water with high levels of calcium or lime-scale content), the pump,
rotor assembly and steel should be cleaned at regular intervals.
The cleaning interval required will vary depending on the hardness of your water. inspect the pump
periodically for signs of calcium buildup.
to clean off calcium or lime-scale deposits, a small nylon bristled brush (such as tooth brush) may be
used on the body of the pump and its parts. Dismantle the ^pump as described in the maintenance
section above and remove the rotor. Clean the lime-scale deposits from the rotor with fresh clean
water only. Do not use soap or any abrasive materials. These can damage the pump and the water
quality of your pond.
If there are excessive calcium deposits that have built up, the thermal overload protection may be
activated. This can be avoided with regular care and cleaning of the pump and your pond.
