Installation

WARNING
Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

Important:

Always place the unit below water level.
It is recommened to place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.
Do not lift the pump by its power cord.

Attach the adapter to the pump first, then connect the appropriate tubing to the adapter. NOTE: Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.
Attach the other end of tubing to desired fountain feature.

Start-up

Attention! The pump must never run dry.
Possible consequences: The pump will be destroyed.
Protective measures: Check the water level at regular intervals. Always place the unit below water level.
Attention! The installed temperature sensor automatically turns the pump off, if it is overloaded. The pump automatically switches on again once the motor has cooled down. Risk of accident!

Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 104 ºF – 40 ºC).

Important:
The unit switches on automatically when power connection is established.

Switching on: Connect power plug to the socket.
Adjust the flow control to the preferred setting.
Switching off: Disconnect the power plug.

Maintenance and cleaning

Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage. Possible consequences: Death or serious injuries. Protective measures:

Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water: Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into the water.
Isolate the unit before starting any work.
Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.

WARNING
This pump uses a very strong magnet to achieve superior performance. When removing the impeller assembly there will be considerable magnetic force resisting the extraction of the impeller assembly. This is normal. Likewise when replacing the impeller assembly there will be a strong magnetic force pulling the assembly into the pump to potentially cause injury to fingers and in rare cases damaging the ceramic shaft or rear bearing. Use thick gloves when replacing the impeller assembly.

Cleaning the unit

Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected. Clean the unit with warm water using a soft brush.
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These could attack the housing surface or impair the function.
In the event of stubborn furring (calcium deposits), a common household cleaner free from vinegar and chlorine can be used. Subsequently, clean the pump thoroughly using warm water.

Cleaning the pump

Disconnect the pump from the power source. Disconnect the tubing.
Remove the front cover and disassemble the impeller cover to expose the impeller assembly.
Remove the impeller assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades.
Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
Reassemble in the reverse order.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Cause	Solution
The unit is not performing its suction function	Power supply not connected

Connect pump power supply, check the supply lines to make sure the voltage is correct
Impeller blocked, shaft broken| Remove the front cover, and impeller cover to expose the impeller. Turn the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed by debris. Also check to make sure that the ceramic shaft or bearings are not broken.
Fountain or spitter clogged| Check for kinks or obstructions in tubing or spitter.
Pump is not completely submerged| Completely submerge pump in the water
Insufficient flow| Flow control closed too far| Adjust flow control
Screen clogged| Clean
Tubing blocked| Clean or replace tubing
Tubing kinked| Eliminate kink, replace tubing if it is damaged
Excessive flow loss in the tubing due to friction| ○ Reduce tubing length to reduce frictional loss

○ Select larger adapter and hose diameter.

Pump overload. The flow is automatically stopped to protect the pump.| ○ Clean the pump housing and impeller assembly

○ Reduce the ambient temperature (e.g. ensure that the specified water temperature is adhered to, avoid direct sunlight)

Pump is not completely submerged| Completely submerge pump in the water
Impeller worn| Replace impeller assembly
Unit switches off after a short running period| Excessive soiled water| Clean impeller housing, bearing and impeller assembly on pump and clean fountain water
Impeller blocked, shaft broken| Remove the front cover, and impeller cover to expose the impeller. Turn the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed by debris. Also check to make sure that the ceramic shaft or bearings are not broken.
Water temperature too high| Maximum water temperature: +95° F (+35 °C)
