Installation

Unpack the diverter valve and thread the collar clockwise
directly onto the pump discharge male thread. Do not
overtighten or use any tools (Ex. 1).
The diverter valve has two flow-control valves (Ex.2).
– The accessory diverter valve controls water flow to any
additional filters, fountains, or waterfalls.
– Side valve controls water flow to attached fountain head.
The side valve controls the fountain height, but the
accessory valve will also have an effect on the fountain’s
height. As more accessory flow is desired the amount
of water flowing to the fountain will diminish. Closing the
accessory valve will maximize flow to the fountain head.
Thread the riser stem base onto discharge. Riser stems
can be added to the base stem as desired to increase the
fountain height to the best level for your water feature and
to compensate for different pond depths.
Insert additional riser stems and lock into position (Ex. 3).
Thread riser stem base onto discharge (Ex. 4).

Install any one of the three fountain heads onto the top
riser by simply pressing it over the end of the riser. It is
held in place by friction (Ex. 5).
The AquaJet pump is designed to be submerged directly
into the pond. If using the diverter valve to send water to
any additional filters, fountains, or waterfalls, maximize
pond circulation by locating the AquaJet pump as far
away as possible from the location of the water entering
back into the water feature (Ex. 6).
If the pump is not on a level base, loosen the riser stem
collar and adjust the orientation of the riser stem to keep
the fountain head vertical (Ex. 7).
If not using the fountain kit, the diverter valve or the
multi-hose adapter can be used to supply water to an
accessory such as a spitter, external filter, or waterfall
(Ex. 8).
If using the diverter or multi-hose adapter to supply
water to an additional filter, fountain, or waterfall, it is
recommended to NOT position the pump in the deepest
portion of the pond. This will protect the fish by preventing
the pond from completely draining in case of leak in the
plumbing or filter, fountain, or waterfall. Bricks or stones
can be used if needed to raise the pump off the bottom.
Connect pump to an outlet that is protected by a ground
fault interrupter. Once the pump is running and water
circulating through the filter(s) or waterfall, check for any fitting or
waterfall leaks where the external connections are made (Ex. 9).
Fountain Height
– Pump size, as estimated in the earlier table
– How deep the pump is positioned in the water; lowering
the pump increases the flow since the discharge is also
lowered
– The two valve adjustments on the diverter valve (see
information above)
Pump Screen Cleaning
– To maintain the correct flow and fountain head patterns,
both the fountain heads and the pump screens will
require occasional cleaning.
Pump Cage
– Do not remove the upper or lower pump cage while
operating the pump. Failure to operate the pump without
the filter cage or operating the pump with a broken cage
will allow large debris to enter the pump causing the
pump to fail voiding the warranty.
Pump Cage Cleaning
– We recommend inspecting your AquaJet on a regular
basis to make sure it is functioning properly. If you notice
the water flow rate diminish it may be due to the pump’s
filter cage becoming clogged with debris. Always
disconnect the power before performing maintenance
on the pump. In many cases the clogged filter cage
can be cleaned by simply
reaching in the pond or
pulling the pump out of
the water and removing
debris from the filter cage.
The pump can also be
removed from the pond
and the debris stuck to
the pump filter cage can
be removed or sprayed off
with a garden hose (Ex. 10).
Pump Leveling
– If the pump is not on a level base, loosen the riser stem
collar and adjust the orientation of the riser stem to keep
the fountain head vertical.
Internal Pump Cleaning
– If you have thoroughly cleaned the filter cage screens
and still have diminished flow rates, then you will need to
remove the pump from the circular base to inspect and
clean the impeller rotor assembly.
– Pull the cage release tabs outward to unlock the upper
pump cage (Ex. 11).
– With the cage tabs released the filter cage can be lifted
to expose the pump (Ex. 12).

– The procedure to remove the pump from its mount
varies depending on the pump model. The 600 and
1300 are easily removed by depressing the tab on the
mounting bracket and sliding the pump forward towards
the water chamber cover (Ex. 13).

– For the 2000 model, remove the two screws securing
the pump holding brackets to allow the pump to be
lifted from the circular base. Please make a note of the
pump bracket orientation prior to removing the screws
so the brackets can be replaced onto the pump in the
same orientation. The power cord can be left in the
strain relief, if desired, in order to simplify reassembly
(Ex. 14).
– While holding the pump securely, rotate the water
chamber cover counter-clockwise so it can be removed
from the pump (Ex. 15).

– With the impeller assembly now exposed, it can be
removed from the pump by pulling outward on the
impeller blades.

IMPORTANT: Do not lose the outer rubber
impeller shaft centering bushing (Ex. 16). This
bushing sits inside the water chamber cover
and sometimes it remains in the cover when the cover is
removed (Ex. 17). If, however, this bushing stays on the
impeller shaft, simply slide it off the shaft and set it aside
or replace it in the water chamber cover so the impeller
assembly can be removed from the shaft.

– If your rotor assembly impeller and internal pump body
have excessive scale build-up, clean with a mild acid,
such as white vinegar or Aquascape Pump Cleaner
Maintenance Solution (#91143) and a kitchen sponge or
soft bristled brush that won’t scratch the stainless steel.
This will remove the scale build-up and allow the pump
impeller to spin like new again (Ex. 18).

Replacing The Impeller/Rotor Assembly and Water Chamber Cover

– The impeller assembly is the only moving part on the
AquaJet pump and will experience wear and tear. If
you’ve cleaned the pump, as described above, and still
experience poor pump performance, it is most likely
time to replace the impeller. Replacing the impeller is
extremely easy. Replacement impeller kits are available
through your Aquascape dealer.

NOTE: The replacement kits include all parts shown. Make
sure to remove all of the original parts from the inside of
the pump before installing the replacement impeller kit
(Ex. 19).

– A centering bushing is required on both ends of the
impeller shaft, one bushing is located inside the pump
and an outer bushing sits in the water chamber cover.
– Slide the first interior bearing washer onto the ceramic
shaft (Ex. 20.
– Place the ceramic impeller shaft into the pump,
checking to be sure the centering bushing sits inside the
pump (Ex. 21).

– Carefully, slide the impeller back onto the shaft. Use
caution, the impeller assembly is magnetic and will be
forcefully pulled back into the pump (Ex. 22).
– Install second outer bearing washer over the impeller
shaft (Ex. 23).

– The water chamber cover is replaced by lowering the
cover over the impeller shaft so the impeller shaft sits in
the impeller bushing. The cover tabs should fit inside the
matching slots on the pump face (Ex. 24).
– When the water chamber cover is rotated clock-wise
less than a ¼ turn, the pump discharge fitting on the
pump cover is in the vertical position (Ex. 25).

Winter Application

The pump can be run during freezing weather if desired, but should be removed if shutting down the pump for the winter.
Disconnect the tubing if using the side discharge fitting and remove the pump and fountain head from the pond. Clean the
pump and cage screens with fresh water and store the pump in a frost-free location.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water flow
– The fountain head itself may be clogged. Shut off the pump, and remove the head for a
more thorough cleaning with a garden hose and brush.
– The fountain heads can be thoroughly cleaned, if needed, by taking them apart (Ex. 26).
– Pump or plumbing may be clogged. It may be necessary to clean the pump cage screens
and impeller assembly.
– Adjust the diverter valve(s) to set the desired flow to the fountain and/or accessory.
Pump hums but doesn’t push water
– The pump or plumbing may be clogged.
• It may be necessary to clean the pump cage screens and impeller.
• Remove the water chamber cover and inspect and clean the impeller rotor assembly and internal pump body.
• Make sure nothing is blocking or wrapped around the impeller.
– Make sure the pump is receiving the correct voltage.
Pump not working
– The ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) may have tripped.
– The pump is not receiving the correct voltage.
