Please read these instructions thoroughly before use. Failure to follow instructions may result in 

equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death.

 DANGER: 

To avoid possible electric shock:

• If the power cord has been damaged, DO NOT operate. The MagFlo Pump should be replaced. 
• Close supervision is necessary when the unit is used by or near children.

 WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• Connect only to a properly grounded receptacle, which is serviced by a Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter, and never remove the ground pin from the plug. 

• Provide a “drip loop” for the power cord. A drip loop is a downward-

facing loop in the power cord, falling below the level of the electric 

receptacle and plug, which prevents water from traveling along the cord 

in the direction of the receptacle. 

• ALWAYS unplug the MagFlo Pump from power source when it is not in 

use.

• ALWAYS unplug the MagFlo Pump from power source before installing, 

removing or servicing the MagFlo Pump components.

• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord 14 gauge up to 100 ft. must be 

used. A cord may overheat if the cord is rated for less amperes or watts 

than the unit rating.

• DO NOT immerse the MagFlo Pump plug in water or attempt to use a wet plug. 
• The MagFlo Pump is NOT suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds, or other situations 

where bodily contact is made with the water. 

Important – This unit is equipped with a permanent magnet. The magnetic field may affect the 

function of pacemakers.

 CAUTION: 

To reduce the risk of equipment damage or failure:

• ONLY use the MagFlo Pump in fresh water applications.
• DO NOT place MagFlo Pump near flammable or other dangerous materials or objects.
• ALWAYS unplug the unit if there is no water running through it to prevent overheating.
• DO NOT run the pump dry.
• DO NOT operate during freezing conditions. Drain MagFlo Pump and store in a protected location. 

  

The Pond Guy is not responsible for equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death resulting from 
failure to follow safety precautions, or from misuse or abuse of equipment.
