Warning -
Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the
pump under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods
(i.e. blocked pre-filter cage) will result in a shorter pump life
and will invalidate the guarantee.
Blagdon Hydratech Multi pumps
are centrifugal pumps with a magnetic
impeller movement driven by a watertight synchronous motor. They require
minimum cleaning, only periodic cleaning of the pre-filter cage and impeller is
necessary.
Cleaner
The use of Blagdon Pond Pump Cleaner will give improved performance and
pump life by removing built-up lime scale and waste. Use before dismantling
for easier and cleaner handling.
Routine Maintenance
Carry out routine maintenance when pump flow is visibly reduced.
1.
Switch off electricity.
2.
Remove pump from pond (do not use the cable to lift the pump).
3.
Open pre-filter cage and remove pump (see page 2). Wash thoroughly in
fresh water. A blocked pre-filter cage will reduce the pump flow rate.

Locating your Hydratech Multi
The Hydratech Multi pump should be located on a firm and level base in the
pond/water feature in a depth of at least 10cm, but no more than 2m.
It is advisable to keep the pump off the bottom of the pond to avoid silt
entering the pump causing excessive wear and increasing pre-filter cleaning.
Fountain
Make sure there is ample cable from mains supply. Place pump in desired
location. Adjust telescopic riser pipe so fountain head is above surface of
the pond. Fountain height can now be adjusted, see “Adjusting dual control
‘T’ piece” diagram below (not 800 model). See “Getting to know your
Hydratech Multi” for parts and descriptions.
Tip:
Ensure that any fountain, waterfall, filter or feature fitted does not empty
water out of pond/water feature.
