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:

The unit can be placed within the pond (submerged) or outside of the pond (dry)
It is recommened to place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.
Do not lift the pump by its power cord. Use the handle to lift and maneuver the pump.

Submerged installation

For maximum water flow, it is recommended that the largest tubing size for your pump is used.
○ If needed, cut the adapter as shown using a hacksaw; consult packaging for tubing size
Attach the adapter to the pump first, then connect tubing to the adapter.
NOTE: Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.
Attach the other end of the tubing to desired water feature or spillway.

Installation (cont.)

Dry installation

Remove screen from pump.
Mount pump to desired area using the holes on the bottom of the pump base.
Attach both adapters to the pump first using the gasket then connect tubing to the adapters. ○ If needed, cut the adapter using a hacksaw; consult packaging for tubing size.
NOTE: Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.

To prevent air from being taken in, ensure that unit and supply hose are always below the water level.

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.
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.

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 screen and disassemble the impeller housing by unscrewing the screws to expose the impeller assembly.
Remove the impeller assembly by pulling on the back round plate behind the impeller
Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.

● Check parts for damages such as cracked shaft, cracks in the bearing, and broken plastics. Replace parts if necessary.

Reassemble in the reverse order.

Storage/Winterization

Put the unit out of operation at water temperatures below 46 °F (8 °C) or, at the latest, when freezing temperatures are to be expected.

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 inlet screen and/or pump cover, and impeller housing 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.
Pump is not completely submerged| Completely submerge the pump or make sure inline setup is completely below the water line.
Insufficient flow| Pump is not completely submerged| Completely submerge the pump or make sure inline setup is completely below the water line.
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 hose diameter, adapt stepped hose adapter to 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)

Impeller worn| Replace impeller
Unit switches off after a short running period| Excessive soiled water| Clean impeller housing, bearing and impeller assembly
Impeller blocked, shaft broken| Remove the inlet screen and/or pump cover, and impeller housing 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.
