Typical Installation in an
ecosystem water garden
• The AquaForce
®
Pump is designed to
be submerged directly into the pond.
To maximize pond circulation, locate
the AquaForce
®
pump as far away as
possible from the location of the water
entering back into the water feature.
• It is recommended that the pump NOT
be positioned in the deepest area of
the pond. This will protect the fish by
preventing the pond from completely draining in the case
of a leak in the plumbing or filter. Bricks or stones can be
used, if needed, to raise the pump up off the bottom of the
pond.

Installation
• Always operate the pump fully submerged. Failure to
do so will overheat the pump and cause it to fail, thus
voiding the warranty. DO NOT OPERATE DRY.
• Use only in fully assembled state, and be sure that both
the upper and lower cage screens are completely snapped
together. Failure to operate the pump without the filter
cage closed will allow large debris to enter the pump,
causing the pump to fail and voiding the warranty.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing that may become
entangled in the impeller or other moving parts.
• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings.
DO NOT insert fingers into pump with power connected.
• DO NOT pump hazardous materials or liquids,
such as oil, saltwater or organic solvents.
• DO NOT block or restrict discharge.
• Products returned must be cleaned, sanitized, or
decontaminated as necessary prior to shipment.
This will ensure that employees will not be exposed
to health hazards in handling said material. All
applicable laws and regulations shall apply.

• The AquaForce
®
includes a wide assortment of fittings to
choose from. Select the appropriate fitting(s) needed for
your application.
• The threaded collar, on all of the fittings, enables the
AquaForce
®
pump to be installed and removed without the
need for any tools. Do not use tools to attach the fittings onto
the pump discharge. Fittings need to be hand-tightened only.
• The extremely versatile rotational ball outlet provides you
with the ability to adjust the pump discharge to the perfect
position required by your water feature. Loosening the
threaded collar allows you to rotate the upper half of the
ball. A flat rubber washer seal is included to ensure a hand-
tight and leak-free connection. Make sure the flat rubber
washer is in place before installing the fittings.

• It is recommended to mount the receiver above the ground
on a post, fence or wall.
• Plug the pump into the receiver making sure that blue plug
gasket is in plug port.
• Plug the Receiver into an external GFI-rated electrical
source. Once the pump is running and water is circulating,
check for any leaks where the external connections are
made.
Using the AquaForce

as a Winter Bubbler
• The AquaForce
®
can also be used to prevent winter fish
loss by keeping a hole open in the ice during the cold
winter months. The AquaForce

• Select the Multi-Hose
fitting that best fits your
new or current tubing/
hose.
• In some instances the tubing/hose may be tight and
difficult to use with hose fitting barbs. If this is the case,
we recommend heating the hose with the use of a hair
dryer or simply dipping the hose in very hot water for a few
seconds. Lubrication can also be used; we recommend
silicone grease or olive oil. We recommend putting the
fitting on the filter before attaching the tubing/hose. Once
the fitting is in place, attach the tubing/hose onto the fitting
with a twisting motion, pushing it into place.
• Attach tubing to the fitting. If
tubing is loose on fitting, use
a hose clamp (not included) to
secure tubing onto the fitting.
• Connect the other end of
the pump tubing to the pond
filter, such as a biological
filter, waterfall spillway or
pressurized filter.
• If using pipe with a larger
diameter than the smaller
fittings of the Multi-
Hose Adapters, cut off
the smaller section or
sections to avoid any flow
restriction.
