MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and that your unit functions correctly, regular
maintenance is essential. Failure to do so may result in damage to your unit and
may invalidate your warranty.
We recommend that a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule is followed to
ensure responsible fishkeeping. Depending on water volume and stocking levels,
regular inspection, cleaning and replacement of o-rings, impellers and
inlet/outlet pipework will help ensure that the product works efficiently and your
pond remains healthy.

Clean & Inspect
After a period of use, it is common for debris to collect in your impeller. It is
important to clean and inspect your impeller regularly as a blockage will not only
reduce the effectiveness of your pump, but can cause long-lasting damage to
the unit.
IMPORTANT
- Before carrying out any maintenance, ensure the unit is not
connected to the power supply.
Use a screw driver to remove the 4 screws from the filter basket (image 1) and
2 screws from the base plate (image 2). The unit will then appear as per image
