2.
Unclip the snap-fit catch under the base plate, and drawn out in the direction of the arrow.
3.
Take off the base plate.
4.
To maintain the impellor of the pump, turn the Impellor Cover in an anti-clockwise direction as indicated by the
arrow, to the stop position. Then separate the impellor cover from the pump motor body.
5.
Lift out the impellor assembly. (Take care not to break ceramic shaft.) The black disc behind the blades is part of the
entire impellor assembly. Clean the impellor with clean water and a suitable brush taking note to remove fine
sediment on and around the back end of the impellor including the small hole through the ceramic shaft if it has one.
Replace the impellor if necessary.
6.
Ensure to replace the O’ring in the correct place shown in the picture when reassembling the unit.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit or the water body. Remove the unit from the water. If your unit is connected to a sponge filter, the filters and
sponges will clog up over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to
maintain the unit will result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
• All EvoII Submersible pumps are water cooled, if pump
becomes restricted, or blocked, it will overheat and
could cause permanent damage.
• The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with
epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. Regular
inspections, cleaning and maintenance of impellor is
necessary to ensure longer life. In the centre of the
impellor you may notice a small whole opening that
protrudes through the ceramic shaft from front to back.
It is paramount that this portal is kept unblocked at all
times. This is a cooling channel for the motor.
• If using a fountain kit, take off the fountain set first by
unscrewing it from the top of the pump. Examine the
nozzles to ensure all ports are unblocked. Clean with a
suitable brush if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how
long it takes for the sponge to get clogged up. When
the flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if
necessary.
• To unclip the front filter cage from the front of the
pump, twist the cage in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull forward. See below for diagram. If available, take
out the optional Internal Bio sponge and clean. If using
an optional pre-filter block sponge, slide the sponge
off the threaded core and wash out. It is recommended
that this is done in a bucket of pond water to ensure
the good bacteria that are present in the sponge are
not killed by the Chlorine in tap water. Check for wear
and tear of the sponges. Replace if necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your filter
sponge with a bacterial additive, available from your
local stockist.
