Winter Application

If running through winter conditions, check regularly to make
sure it is functioning properly and ice is not preventing water
from reaching the pump. In the event of a power failure, the
pump should be removed to prevent any freeze damage to
the pump or the piping.
If concerned about possible freeze damage, disconnect
and remove the pump. Be careful not to lose the flat rubber
washer. Clean with fresh water and store the pump in a
frost-free location. If needed, use Aquascape Pump Cleaner
Maintenance Solution (#91143) to remove excessive buildup.
