AquaScape Aquasurge 2000-4000 Instructions Et Entretien page 5

• The AquaSurge includes a wide assortment of fittings from
which to choose. Select the appropriate fitting or fittings
needed for your application.
NOTE: If using a check valve, please follow the installation
instructions included with the check valve for proper
plumbing steps.
• The threaded collar, on all of the fittings enables the
AquaSurge pump to be installed and removed without the
need for any tools (Ex. 3).
NOTE: Do not use tools to install the fittings to the pump
discharge. Fittings need to be only hand-tight.
• The extremely versatile rotational ball outlet provides you
the ability to adjust the pump discharge to the perfect
position your water feature set up requires. Loosen the
threaded collar on the rotational ball and rotate to desired
position (Ex. 4). A flat rubber gasket is included to ensure
a hand-tight and leak-free connection. Make sure this flat
rubber washer is in place before installing the fittings
(Ex. 5).

• Install the right sized multi-hose adapter based on the
diameter of the tubing you are using.
• If using a pipe diameter larger than the smallest section
of the multi-hose adapter, trim off the smaller sections to
avoid flow restriction (Ex. 6).

• In some instances the tubing may be tight or difficult to
connect to the fitting. If this is the case, we recommend
heating the hose with a hair dryer or dipping the hose for
a few seconds in very hot water. Lubrication can also be
used; we recommend silicone grease or olive oil. Put the
fitting on the pump before attaching the tubing/hose. Once

the fitting is in place, attach the tubing/hose onto the fitting
with a twisting motion.
• Lower the pump into the skimmer or Pondless filter
(Ex. 7) and rotate the rotational ball output to line up with
the tubing. Attach tubing to the fitting and then tighten a
hose clamp (not included) to secure tubing onto the fitting.
In-Line Operation
• The AquaSurge pump can also be operated "in-line" by
attaching a pipe connected directly from the pond (or
aquarium) pump inlet. In this case the water must be

pre-filtered of debris to prevent damage to the pump. The
pump must NEVER be operated dry without water. This
pump is water-cooled and requires water flowing through
the pump at all times to operate correctly and stay cooled.
