Blagdon Force-Hybrid Pumps
are centrifugal pumps with a magnetic impeller
movement driven by a watertight asynchronous motor. They require minimum
cleaning, only periodic cleaning of the pre-filter cage and impeller is necessary.
Monthly Maintenance/Opening the cage
Remove cage and impeller cover, wash all parts thoroughly with fresh water.
Warning -
Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the pump
under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods (i.e. blocked
outlet, pipework filter cage) will result in a shorter pump life and will
invalidate the guarantee.

Annual Maintenance/Removing the impeller
First follow the Monthly Maintenance/Opening the cage steps.

Dismantle pump and examine all parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts that
show obvious wear and/or damage. (See getting to know your pump for parts/
description and replacement parts codes.) Particular care should be taken to examine
the cable entry point and the cable; if there is any sign of damage the pump should be
discarded.
Winter Storage
The pump can be run in the pond during the winter but care should be taken to
ensure that it is fully immersed and cannot freeze solid. If the pump is not used
during the winter, follow annual maintenance procedure and store frost-free in the
house or garage until spring.
