OPERATION
Please read the following instructions very carefully before you start. This pump is
suitable for ponds, aquariums, fountains and filtration systems.
Aqua Force pumps are safe to function both indoors and outdoors, they can be
operated both submersed & inline although they must always be full of water.
Because of the size, this lighter, smaller pump can outperform other pumps on the
market.
The vortex impeller allows this unit to be both energy saving and efficient. The
unique design of the impeller allows for a dramatic reduction in the frequency of
cleaning.
INSTALLATION
•
Suitable application for installation is either submersed or inline, however the
pump must be full of water and never run dry.
•
Place the pump on a stable surface that is free of sludge, sand and other debris,
attaching the unit to the bottom or side of the pond. If necessary, use the sliding
bracket (with four suction feet) provided.
•
The pump is best placed in an area of the pond where the water will get
maximum circulation (inlet and outlet at opposite ends).
•
The electricity supply cord to the pump should extend in a loop below the 13-
amp plug socket; this is to prevent water drops from contacting the plug or
electricity supply outlet.
•
If a low voltage pump is being used the transformer must be kept in a dry area as
it is not waterproof.
•
It is recommended that a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA be installed for the Aqua Force pump and
any other electrical products used in or around the pond.
•
If the unit is used outside of the pond it should be lower than the surface of the
water, making sure the pump always has water so that it does not run dry and
over heat.
