MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

IMPORTANT – Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the pump under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods will result in a shorter pump life and will invalidate the guarantee.

The Pennington Inpond pump is centrifugal with a magnetic impellor movement driven by a watertight synchronous motor. They require minimum cleaning, only periodic cleaning of the impellor is necessary.

Routine Maintenance

1. Switch off electricity.
2. Remove Inpond from pond using carry handle (do not use the cables to lift the Inpond).

How it works – Flow detail
The water flows through the top of the filter cage down through the filter foams and ceramic media then through the UV chamber ready to exit via the pump.

Opening and locking filter handle

Easy lift integrated locking handle

1. Handle in the locked position

2. Handle is in the central position. This will enable the filter and pump to be carried in and out of the pond.
   *Ensure the filter is not carried by the pump cable.

3. Close handle down to open position

4. The handle is in the unlocked position allowing the filter media to be removed and cleaned.

Foams may be cleaned vigorously in a bucket of pond water.

Ceramic bio media
These will only need very occasional cleaning (once per year), but must be rinsed in pond water to prevent damaging the beneficial bacteria which help maintain a healthy pond.

Polymer wool cartridge

The polymer wool pad may be washed a limited number of times before it starts to lose efficiency and block rapidly.

Replacement packs of polymer wool are availible from your retailer and are quick and easy to replace.

See page 15 On how to remove the cartridge easiliy from the Inpond.

Removing led Lamp

Replacing or removing the lamp can be easiliy done by unscrewing the lamp screw cap, then the clear cover can come apart. Allowing the LED lamp to be disconnected. See getting to know your In pond for part descriptions.

IMPORTANT – Ensure that the mains supply is switched off and the power isolated before removing the lamp cover.

LED Automatic Photo Sensor – detects when light levels are low/dusk

The LED automatic sensor is positioned on top of the motor body between the outlet and the lamp. Ensure this is kept clean from dirt and algae as it needs sufficent light to activate correctly.

This extremely effcient lamp uses less than 1 watt of electricity which automatically turns on at dusk and off at dawn.

If the LED light is not required you can permentently remove the lamp.
Inpond comes complete with a rubber cover that can be used to keep the LED light on permenantly.
See instruction sticker on the pump for more information.

Annual maintenance of the filter

Check for wear. Once a year you should dismantle your Inpond. Dismantle the filter examining all the parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts showing obvious signs of wear and/or damage (see getting to know your filter for replacement codes and parts descriptions on pages 2, 3, 4 & 5).

Annual maintenance of the pump

Check for wear. Once a year you should service your pump. 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 Inpond for parts/description and replacement codes). Particular care should be taken to examine the cable entry points.

Annual maintenance of the UVC

Check for wear. Once a year you should dismantle your Inpond UVC section. Ensure you have disconnected the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Dismantle the UVC containing all the parts for wear and damage, replacing any parts that show obvious signs of wear and damage (see getting to know your Inpond for parts/ description and replacement codes).

Winter Storage
The In pond 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 Inpond is not used during the winter follow the annual maintenance procedure and store frost-free in the house or garage until spring.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In pond Filter

Cloudy/brown water

• The flow rate / pond turnover is to high or to low. Check that you have correctly calculated the pond volume and that pump flow rate is within limits.

• The filter is not being supplied with water 24 hours a day. Do not turn off your Inpond.
  Continuous running is needed to maintain a clean and healthy pond.

• The filter foam pads are insufficiently blocked to trap the fine waste.

• The water is extremely dirty, remove pond waste and leaves – carry out a partial water change.

• Filter is incorrectly sized – refer to filter performance and specification chart.

• The filter foams have not been positioned or replaced correctly, ensure that the foams fit tightly within the filter chamber.

UVC leaks

• Check that the UVC O-ring has been correctly assembled.
• Check that the UVC cap is correctly locked with the yellow quartz sleeve section.

Arrows on both caps should be correctly aligned when fitted. See page 8 on how to correctly install and remove UVC section.

Inpond Pump

Problem

Low flow from pump

1. Follow routine cleaning procedure if no improvement.
2. Follow monthly 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 Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the more 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 frictional loss of flow and so increases pump flow rates.

Poor Fountain performance

• Reduced height.
• Jets blocked.

Clean flow adjusters and fountain head. Wash under a tap or hose.

Pond Pump Cleaner should be used to remove lime scale build-up/waste (see diagram) for improved results.

DAISY
To clean, remove head and rinse.
Or in hard water areas, use Pond Pump Cleaner

No flow from pump

1. Check power supply is on.
2. Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Follow low flow procedure as above.

If none of the above works contact Pennington customer marketing Department (See Faults problem procedure Page 20).

Green water

• Settlement test the water to ensure that there is no sediment suspended in the water. If there is, follow the brown cloudy water troubleshooting guide.

• In order to check that the UVC lamp is operating: Open the filter unit (see page 15) remove the filter foams and cartridge. Positioned on top of the yellow UVC contact chamber will be a round viewing window where you should see a faint blue light.
  This operation may need to be carried out at dusk as UVC lamps emit a dim blue light under normal operation. Turning the lamp on and off may aid visual identification. (Ensure the UVC lamp is not more than 6 months old).

• The UVC may be working effectively but the filter foam/media is too clean and is unable to remove the fine coagulated waste.

• The filter is too small for the pond, check your filter selection chart.

• The UVC quartz sleeve is dirty or coated in lime scale. Gently remove the quartz sleeve and clean.

• Follow all cloudy water trouble shooting points.

UVC light not illuminated

• Check all fuses / RCD and electrical connections follow electrical installation

Faults – Problem Procedure

Before returning your Inpond to your dealer or contacting our Consumer Advice Department, please carry out the following steps. This will solve most problems quickly and easily.

1. Ensure electrical procedures have been followed fully. Check fuses and any cable connectors/switch boxes.
2. (a) Follow routine maintenance procedure fully. (b) Check location and connecting your pump details including flow rates. (c) Ensure that your pond volume and pump flow rate meet the maximum pond size recommended for the filter model on the filter performance and specification chart. (d) Follow troubleshooting guide.
3. If there is a mechanical breakdown of the filter or UVC, return to the point of purchase for inspection and advice (You will need proof of purchase).
