This Hozelock Cyprio Aquaforce pump is electrically operated and is designed to pump solid particles
up to 10mm in diameter with minimal prestrainer maintenance. These types of pumps are particularly suitable for pumping water to external filters or for use in high flow waterfalls or watercourse applications where low maintenance is important. The pump does not use oil or grease for lubrication and can be used safely in ponds containing fish or plants. The motor consists of a sealed stator and water-cooled rotor. All electrical components are isolated from the water.

ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT
To help ensure your pump’s long life and to prevent damage, it is fitted with automatic thermal overload protection. This switches off the pump if it overheats. If this occurs, switch off the power at the mains supply to the pump. Check for the cause. Usually it will be debris blocking the inlets of the pump or obstructing the impeller. Remove the obstruction and wait for the pump to cool down. Then switch on the pump again.

Typical Installation

NOTE: When running amphibiously, the dry sited pump MUST be positioned horizontally, as shown.

Amphibious operation

Pump Assembly & Installation

– Submerged Operation ASSEMBLY

1. Open the clips at either end of the strainer cage (Fig 1 – F) and open the cage.

2. Remove the Small fish protection insert (Fig 1 – A).

3. Remove & unpack the ball joint, hosetails & Flow control (Fig 1–D,E & H).

4. Remove the mains supply cable and unwind.

5. Ensure that the outlet of the pump is secured to the outlet adaptor (Fig 1 – C). Locate the pump onto its mounting area ensuring that the adaptor piece slots into the location ribs in the front of the lower cage (Fig 4).
   Note:
   The adaptor should be orientated with the outlet at the bottom of the cage (fig 5).

6. Locate the mains supply cable into the recess on the side of the cage. Ensure it is seated in the correct position so that the cable does not get trapped when the cage is closed. (Fig 6).
   Refit the small fish protection insert.

7. Close the cage lid ensuring that the end cap (Fig 1 – G) is in its correct position and secure by pressing in the centre of the clips (Fig 7).

8. Checking that the ball joint’s inlet and outlet bosses are in line, firmly screw the nut on to the screw thread on the outlet adaptor (Fig 8).

9. Using small bore hoses leads to excessive restriction of the water flow. The larger the diameter of hose that you use the better the performance of the pump will be, especially over long hose runs. The hosetail supplied with this unit will accommodate 25mm (1”), 32mm (1.25”) and 40mm (1.6”) hose as well a ¾” BSP screw thread for attaching fountain accessories. We would always recommend that on pumps of this size, that the  40mm diameter hose should be used when using the pump as a waterfall pump or in combination with a filter (Fig 2 & 3). Once you have selected the hose diameter you wish to use, cut the steps off the hosetail which are smaller than the hose diameter to eliminate restriction (Fig 9). Attach a suitable length hose to the hosetail and secure with a suitable hose clip and position the outlet end of the hose in the desired position.

10. Screw the hosetail directly onto the outlet boss of the ball joint (Fig 10). The ball joint can be rotated to allow the hose to be directed away from the pump.

Position

11. For the best results, the pump should be positioned in the deepest part of the pond at least 200mm under the surface. This will ensure the best circulation of water in the pond and when being used as a filtration pump, its solids handling capability will be maximised.
    For best results, the pump should not be placed directly  on the bottom of the pond. We recommend that the pump be installed on a flat level platform which is raised approximately 300mm from bottom of pond. This will prevent the pump sucking dirt directly from the bottom of the pond and will also ensure that sufficient water remains in the pond in the event of accidental leakage of pond water (See Fig 11).

Small Fish Protection Insert

12. If you have fish or other wildlife in your pond, there are periods in the year during which they may breed. At this time the fish ‘fry’ are small and can be sucked into the pump. To minimise this possibility, the Aquaforce range of pumps has a unique small fish protection insert, which reduces the inlet strainer hole size down to 2mm at this critical time in fishes’ life cycle. To use this feature, locate the insert’s 4 legs into  the corresponding area in the lower cage as shown in Fig 12 ensuring that the insert is the correct way round. Close the top of the cage and secure the clips. Whilst the insert is in use, you may need to unblock the Strainer Cage more frequently. Once the fish or other wildlife have grown to a sufficient size you can then remove the insert from your pump’s cage and return the strainer size to its maximum 10mm size.

Using The Flow Control

The flow Control (Fig 1 – H) can vary the amount of water entering the pump. Alternatively, it can be used to connect a second inlet to the pump such as a satellite filter or a skimmer. Do not use the flow control when the pump is being used amphibiously.

1. Open the cage and remove the end cap (Fig 1 – G).

2. Close the flow control by rotating the outer part until the arrows are aligned.

3. Firmly screw the flow control to the inlet of the pump aligning the arrows on the flow control with the arrow in the centre of the top of the pump chamber (Fig 13).

4. Locate the pump into the cage. Ensure that the slots in the outlet adaptor align with the ribs in the lower cage and that the grip of the flow control is on the outside of the cage (Fig 14).

5. To use as a flow control, screw the end cap to the free end of the flow control.

6. Rotate the grip to the desired position. This varies the opening size on the flow control. The arrow on the grip aligns with the pointer on the outside of the top cage. When the pointed end of the arrow is aligned with the pointer on the outside of the filter cage, this indicates minimum flow. When the wide end of the arrow is aligned with the pointer, this indicates maximum flow (See fig 14).

7. Locate the cable into its recess (See point 6 under Submerged Operation), close the cage lid and secure the clips.

8. This allows you to reduce the flow of water to your filter and control the waterfall size.

9. To use a second inlet connect a suitable length of hose to a hosetail which has been cut to a suitable diameter and screw to the free end of the flow control in place of the end cap (Fig 15).

10. The other end of the hose can be connected to a satellite filter (Fig 16) (available as a spare from Hozelock) or to a skimmer (Fig 17).

11. By rotating the grip of the flow control, the amount of water coming through the satellite filter or skimmer can be varied.
    

Pump Installation

– AMPHIBIOUS
This pump can be used amphibiously (i.e. it can be used whilst not submerged).
WARNING! Ensure that the unit does not take in air or run dry otherwise your pimp will be damaged.
WARNING! Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the pond from the electricity supply before putting your hands in the water whilst equipment is being installed, repaired, maintained or handled.

NOTE: This pump does not self prime. The suction hose and pump must be filled with water before switching on.

1. Open the clips at either end of the strainer cage, open the cage, and remove all the contents.

2. Unscrew the outlet adaptor from the pump outlet and locate it into the ribs in the lower cage (Fig 18).

3. Place the pump under the surface of the water near the side of the pond to allow water to flow into the pumping chamber (Fig 19).

4. Cut 2 hosetails to the required size (See point 9 under Submerged Operation). Attach a suitable length hose to each hosetail and secure with suitable hose clips.

5. Submerge the inlet hose under the surface of the water ensuring that the complete hose fills. Screw the hosetail to the inlet of the pump ensuring a watertight seal using the washer provided (Fig 20).

6. Fix the outlet hose to the pump outlet by screwing on the hosetail. Ensure a watertight seal using the washer provided (Fig 21).

7. Check that the pump chamber and hose are full of water and switch on the pump. The pump can now be removed from the water to its amphibious operating location ensuring that the inlet end of the hose remains submerged.

8. To prevent the pump becoming clogged, connect the cage to the inlet end of the inlet hose using another hosetail.

9. When using the pump amphibiously, protect the pump from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may overheat the motor.

10. The ball joint is not designed to be used out of water.

Maintenance

The Hozelock Cyprio range of Aquaforce pumps have been designed to allow fast and easy maintenance. To prolong the life of your pump and keep your pump in peak condition, you should follow these maintenance guidelines.

Caution: Always unplug or disconnect ALL appliances in the pond from the electricity supply before putting your hands in the water or starting maintenance.

1. When the pump is newly installed, you should check your pump daily that it is performing correctly.

2. If you notice a drop in performance (low flow) you should clean the strainer cage. Cleaning intervals will vary depending on the condition of your pond’s water. This could be as often as weekly in the summer months. To clean the strainer cage, open the clips and remove the pump. The cage can then be wiped clean of debris blocking the strainer holes and washed in clean water. You should also check that the pump chamber & rotor are not blocked  with debris.

3. At least once a year you should completely disassemble the pump including the rotor assembly as described below and wash all components in clean, fresh water.
   Replace worn or broken parts.

4. If you live in a hard water area (water with high levels of calcium or limescale content), the pump, rotor assembly and steel can should be cleaned at regular intervals. The cleaning interval required will vary depending on the hardness of your water, so you should inspect for signs of calcium build up regularly.
   To clean off calcium or limescale deposits a small nylon bristled brush (such as a toothbrush) may be used.
   Dismantle the pump as described above and remove the rotor. Clean the limescale deposits from the rotor using fresh clean water If excessive calcium deposits build up, the thermal overload protection may be activated (See INTRODUCTION).
