INSTALLATION

Electrical installation

• The power supply must meet the specifications on the product. The pump is intended to be used with either a weather-proof cable connector or connected by means of a plug and socket.
• The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
• Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.
• The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body.
• If the supply cable is damaged the pump must not be used.
• Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.

IMPORTANT : If this product is installed using a Blagdon Powersafe armoured gardenpower supply fitted with a flexible lead to a three pin plug, in conjunction with a circuit breaker as recommended. It would not therefore be deemed to be a permanent part of the house wiring and would not fall within the scope of Part P ofthe building regulations. However if the product is wired directly into a fixed wiring spur, it will fall under part P of the building regulations and must be installed by a qualified electrician or in consultation with a building control officer.

ELECTRICAL STANDARDS STATE THAT:

• All outdoor power supplies must be protected by a circuit breaker.
• All outdoor electrical components must comply with outdoor weatherproof safety standards.
• All power supplies across the garden must be carried by metal sheathed armoured cable.
  If buried, warning tape must be applied.

You can take power to your pond/garden using a Blagdon Powersafe Armoured Garden Power Supply and Circuit Breaker. This provides safe, legal and easy DIY power to your pond or garden. Other garden power products are available in theBlagdon Powersafe range.

WARNING – THIS PUMP MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also know as the Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA must be installed in the supply circuit. A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring

For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations of the local electricity authority and this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning the installation of your pond pump (i.e. local building regulations). These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact with the water.
Always disconnect and isolate the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being installed, repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt about wiring this product to the main supply.

Warning
The Aquagarden pump is provided with a thermal cut out that temporarily switches off the pump in case of overheating and the pump may automatically restart.

Locating your Aquagarden Pump
The Aquagarden pump should be located on a firm and level base in the pond/water feature in a depth of at least 15cm, but no more than 3m.

Water Feature / Filter / Waterfall
Depending on water feature to be supplied, your pump can be used with 11/2” 1/4” 1” 1/2” hose fitting. Hose clips should be used to secure hose.
Tip : The larger 11/2” hose fitting will give maximum pump flow performance.

• Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed or kinked.
• Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the more wear on the pump.
• Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest distance and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss of flow and so increases pump flow rates.
  Also see the explanatory diagram on page 2.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Warning – Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the pump under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods (i.e. blocked outlet, pipework filter cage) will result in a shorter pump life and will invalidate the guarantee.
Aquagarden are centrifugal pumps with a magnetic impeller movement driven by a watertight asynchronous motor. They require minimum cleaning, only periodic cleaning of the pre-filter cage and impeller is necessary.

Monthly Maintenance/Opening the cage
Remove cage and impeller cover, wash all parts thoroughly with fresh water.

Annual Maintenance/Removing the impeller
First follow the Monthly Maintenance/Opening the cage steps. Remove the impeller and wash all parts thoroughly with fresh water.

Dismantle pump and examine all parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts that show obvious wear and/or damage. (See getting to know your pump for parts/description and replacement parts codes.) Particular care should be taken toexamine the cable entry point and the cable; if there is any sign of damage the pump should be discarded.

Winter Storage

The pump can be run in the pond during the winter but care should be taken to ensure that it is fully immersed and cannot freeze solid. If the pump is not used during the winter, follow the annual maintenance procedure and store frost-free in the house or garage until spring.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem
Low flow from the pump

1. Follow monthly cleaning procedure if no improvement.
2. Follow the annual cleaning procedure.
3. Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed or kinked.
4. Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called the Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the wear on the pump.
5. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest distance, and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes the frictional loss of flow and so increases pump flow rates.

No flow from the pump

1. Check power supply is on.
2. Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Follow low flow procedure as above.
4. If the pump has overheated the thermal overload will temporarily switch off the pump.
   If none of the above works contact Interpet (Blagdon) Consumer Advice Department (See Faults problem procedure Page 13).

IMPORTANT

PROBLEMS PROCEDURE
