The Cyclone pump is designed to be submerged directly into the pond or out of the pond as long as water is running through the
pump. To maximize pond circulation, locate the pump as far away as possible from the location of the water entering back into
the water feature.
TYPICAL INSTALLATION FOR YOUR POND
It is recommended that the pump is NOT positioned in the deepest area of the pond. This will protect the fish from suffocating by
preventing the pond from completely draining in case of a leak in the tubing. Bricks or stones can be used, if needed, to raise the
pump up off the bottom of the pond. The pump should be placed a maximum depth of 6.5 feet (2 meters).
(PAL2100 – PAL8000 only)

u
The Cyclone pump includes fittings for
all water features.
y
If using tubing with a larger diameter
than the smaller fittings of the
Multi-Hose Adapters, cut off the smaller
section to avoid any flow restriction.This
way your pump will perform at optimal
level.
v
A flat rubber washer seal is included
for a hand-tight and leak-free connec-
tion. Make sure the flat rubber washer
is in place before installing the fitting.
z
Attach the tubing to the multi-hose
adapter. If the tubing is loose on the
multi-hose adapter, use a hose clamp
(not included) to secure the tubing to
the fitting.
w
The threaded collar on all of the
fittings enables the Cyclone pump to
be installed and removed without the
need for any tools. Do not use tools
to attach the fittings onto the pump
discharge as the tool might break the
fitting. Fittings need to be
hand-tightened only.
{
Connect the other end of the pump
tubing to an Alpine pond filter, waterfall,
or water feature.
x
Install the right-sized Multi-Hose
adapter based on the diameter of the
tubing you are using.
|
Place the pump into your water feature.
Be sure it is fully submerged before
plugging into a GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter). Once the pump is running
and water is circulating through the
filter(s) or waterfalls, check for any fitting
or waterfall leaks where the external
connections are made.
