HIGH FLOW 

FILTRATION PUMP

BENEFITS

Suitable for filtration, water aeration and circulation, in bodies of water such as indoor and outdoor garden ponds; 
medium to large aquariums, aquaculture, seafood markets and restaurants, as well as indoor and outdoor water 
fountains. Suitable for both fresh and salt water. 

•  Your pump has a single moving part (an impeller set) enabling easy cleaning and maintenance.

•  The Pumps have intelligent circuitry that analyses the speed and torque of the motor. It will increase and    decrease 

the energy usage to maximise efficiency. The soft start nature of the system helps to avoid sudden pressure surges 
causing pipes to blow off. The intelligent system will change the motor speed to maximise the flow of water in heat, 
through lack of water flow through the motor.

•  The motor and electrical components are totally encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe operation under water.

•  The pump has a robust bearing and shaft design so no oil/grease lubrication is required.

•  PondMAX Filtration & Waterfall Pumps are continuous rated therefore are designed to be heavy-duty and to 

operate 24/7.

•  Any damage to the equipment or unmerited operation 

will bring dangers to the surrounding precincts. So if 
there is any damage of the equipment, it must not to 
be used. The equipment should be placed out of reach 
of children.

•  For your own safety, disconnect from the power supply 

before any maintenance of any equipment is attempted 
on the tank or water body. Always unplug the pump 
from the power supply when not in use

•  Never pull the cable to disconnect the plug from the 

power supply - Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

•  If required, have a qualified electrician install a 

weatherproof power supply point near to the pond 
or water-feature (within the cable length of the 
appliance).

•  Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the 

water. The depth should not be greater than 2m.

•  Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any 

components of the system, such as the power cable, 
have been damaged. Check appliance for defects 
regularly.

•  Always use a properly grounded power supply that is 

connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating 
current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS 
3350.2.41:1997

•  To avoid an electric shock, do not attach the plug to the 

power supply socket with wet hands. On installation, 
the drip loop method should be used to prevent water 
from traveling down the cable and onto the plug or 
power supply. If the plug does get wet, do not unplug 

the cable. Immediately disconnect the circuit breaker 
that supplies power to the power supply point. Then 
unplug and examine the plug, and power supply point, 
for presence of water. If the power point has become 
wet, you should consult an electrician before using the 
power point again.

•  Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your 

warranty.

•  Do not install or store the appliance where it will be 

exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not 
use in water above 35°C.

•  Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so 

that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.

•  Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance 

yourself. Return to an authorized service centre 
or place of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular 
maintenance is not considered repair and is required 
by the user)
