into the pump is reduced, this may be caused by grit or algae clogging the pumps
sponge filter or wedging in between the impellor and wall of the pump.
If this happens simply follow the following steps:
•
Turn off the power supply, move the pump to a dry location (do not use the
power cable to lift the pump).
•
Remove the pre-filter cage and pre-filter foam from the pump motor (blocked
foam will reduce the pumps flow rate considerably).
•
The impeller is situated in the pump housing and can be removed by turning the
cover anti-clockwise to remove
•
Pull the impeller assembly away from the pump body.
•
When disassembling the impeller please ensure that you do not lose the small
plastic washers positioned at the top and bottom of the impeller as these ensure
the quiet and efficient operation of the pump.
•
Check the “O” Ring of the pump body.
•
Wash all parts with fresh water carefully to remove all accumulated debris.
•
Replace the impeller cover on the pump body.
•
Place the pump back in the water making sure the pump is fully submersed in
water.
LOW VOLTAGE PUMPS
Low voltage pumps are quality products, designed using the very latest technological
developments. Aqua Force pumps have been developed using synchronous
technology, whereby the electrical parts are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin and
working with low voltage will further enhance the safety when in use. Low voltage
pumps work under rated voltage and must be connected to the transformer
provided.
Always keep the transformer away from the pond in case of damage by water or
humidity. The transformer is not waterproof therefore must be kept in a dry area. It
is recommended that a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA be used in conjunction with the pump.
SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Make sure that the voltage and frequency of power supply comply with the
specifications on the product.
•
The pump is only suitable with a FI-switch 30mA and must be connected to a
regular safety plug socket.
•
Never pull the pump or remove the pump by pulling the cord.
