Operation • Safety • Warranty
This guide describes the basic procedures for operation and maintenance.
For specific equipment on the skid, please reference individual owners and operation
manuals.
Service and maintenance on these systems is to be done ONLY by trained and
experienced personnel.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This water feature utilizes high voltage electrical equipment and is therefore
potentially dangerous to operating and maintenance personnel if proper procedures
are not followed.
Only persons qualified and authorized should be allowed to operate or maintain this
electrical equipment. Failure to follow procedures can result in injury, fatal shock, or
significant damage to equipment.
SKID MOUNT POND FILTRATION SYSTEM
GFCI breakers should be tested at regular intervals.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
The skid mount pond filtration system will need to have a
level and stable area. A concrete pad or compacted area
is recommended. Be sure to leave enough room around
the pad for servicing the unit in the future.
Skid mount system can be installed in flooded suction
or in suction lift applications. For flooded suction
applications check valves are highly recommended on the
discharge/return side of the pumping system.
Connect and glue the plumbing from pond skimmer and/
or bottom drains to the inlet of the pump. Connect and
glue the plumbing on the return lines back to the pond.
Tips for operating an external pump:
Proper plumbing selection and set up is important when
choosing to use an external pump. Below are some ways
to set up an external pump with skimmer. There are limits
to how high a pump can be placed in a suction lift set up.
Each pump is different, but these general rules show how
an external pump can be used. There are
two basic set ups with an external pump:
flooded suction or suction lift.
A flooded suction set up is where the
pump is situated below the water level
and water flows by gravity to pump.
A suction lift set up is where the pump
is located above water level. “Suction lift” is a technical
term for this set up, it does not mean the pump acts like a
vacuum cleaner.
Never create a high
spot between pump and
skimmer/pond, it will create an air lock in the line and
your system will not work correctly. See your pump’s
manual for more information.
CHECK FOR LEAKS
Check to be sure that all union fittings are securely hand
tightened. These are installed at the factory but could
have come loose during transit or in process of installing
unit. Also, be sure that the head of the filter is secured
(see filter owner’s manual for details).
