Pond Pump   Instructions
IMPORTANT READ BEFORE USE

PUMP INSTALLATION

Ideally and for convenience the pump should be positioned within reach of the side of the pond on a solid platform (e.g. paving slabs).  The pump must be at least 200mm (8″) below water level to avoid problems of freezing and  low water levels in summer. All electrical work should be completed by qualified electrician.

Waterfall/Filter Only
For use with a pond filter you will often get  improved results with the pump sited at the  opposite end of the pond to the filter return.  The pump comes as standard with pond-life  friendly slots to help protect spawning life. In  some ponds this may not be necessary and you may want to modify the pump to enable solids handling as below. The pump may be connected to a waterfall or filter using 19mm (3/4″), 25mm (1″) or 32mm    (11/4″) bore hose. For maximum flow use 32mm (11/4″) hose connected directly to  the hose adaptor on the rotor cover.  The rotor assembly can be rotated through  90° as required by twisting the front end of the pump.

Fountain (and Waterfall/Filter)
Insert fountain components as instructed IN Fountain  Kit.
