INSTALLATION
1. Only install this system in ponds where no swimming, wading,
boating, or fishing is allowed. Disconnect power to the pump
before fishing or entering the water.
2. Post appropriate warning signs per local and state codes.
3. Inspect pump system for damage before installing in pond. Check
that all bolts and screws are tight. Check for any bent prongs or a
cracked case on the GFCI.
4. The unit ships with one spray nozzle attached. To change to one
of the other two nozzles, remove the four screws from the nozzle
then replace with the desired nozzle. Refer to Figures 2, 3, and 4
for spray pattern appearance. Nozzles are marked “This side up.”
Make sure the o-ring is seated in the groove before installing
nozzle. Tighten screws until seated, approximately 10 to 12 in-lbs.
5. Attach nylon anchor ropes to two eyebolts located at top of screen.
Secure (make sure rope is tight) to weights placed on pond floor
or stakes on pond shore. When using weights to anchor the pump,
place weights approximately ten feet from unit, 180 degrees apart.
6. Before connecting the unit to the power receptacle, check to
ensure there is no leakage to the ground. This can be done by
using an ohm meter and setting the scale to the highest setting
(i.e. Rx100K). Connect one ohm meter lead to the unit power
cord ground (round prong) and to one of the flat prongs. It should
read infinite or at least two megohms. Repeat with the other
prong. If reading is below two megohms on either prong, contact
Technical Service Help Line at 800-928-7867.
7. Do Not Operate System on an Extension Cord! If no power is
accessible at the pond, contract a licensed electrician to install the
proper power supply in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
8. After installing the unit, checking ground and connecting power to
the unit, the unit can be powered up. Check operation of the
GFCI by pushing the “Test” button, the unit should stop. Pushing
the “Reset” button should restart the unit. If pressing the “Test”
button does not stop the unit, immediately shut off power to the
unit and contact Technical Support Help Line at 800-928-7867.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
l
#2 Phillips screwdriver to change nozzles.
l
Nylon rope to anchor unit.
l
Stakes or weights for anchoring unit.
l
Ohm meter to check insulation resistance to ground.
WINTER STORAGE
l
Rinse unit with clean water to remove any build-up on unit.
l
Check unit for any damage.
l
Store unit in heated space in freezing climates.
The pump motor is water lubricated and is factory filled with an anti-
freeze solution. During operation the antifreeze might exchange, thru
the filtered check valve, with the pond water. In climates where freezing
may occur, the unit must be stored in a heated storage space to prevent
damage to the motor
