Applications
This pump is ideally suited to use in a water garden to circulate pond water through a pond filtration system,
a watercourse, over a waterfall or to pump water through a water feature. It can also be used to drain water
from a pond or an aquarium.
Installation Instructions
Installation when submersed under water:
See Figure 1
1. The pump must be completely immersed under water. The minimum depth of water is 15cm to prevent
the possibility of drawing air into the system.
2. When submersed in a pond and in order to prevent the filter from being clogged, the pump must be
installed on a solid, flat surface so as not to suck up sand and silt.
Installation when used outside water:
See Figure 2
1. The pump can be installed outside the pond so long as it is located in a position that is below the surface
level of the pond water. It should be placed on a solid, flat surface and fixed with screws.
2. To connect the pump, remove the filter cover and then connect the water inlet and outlet pipes. These
pipes must be well sealed and the inlet pipe primed with water before operation.
3. All piping must be of an appropriate size for use with the pump to prevent clogging. Please consult your
Aquagarden stockist for advice on the correct size and type of pipe.
Operational Instructions
During Operation
If clogging of the filter cover inlet occurs, shut off the power immediately.
If the pump does not operate as it should after cleaning, please consult your local Aquagarden stockist to
establish the cause of the problem.
If freezing temperatures are forecast, switch off the pump, remove it from the water and store it after cleaning
and drying the impeller chamber completely.
After periods of inoperation
If the pump is left submerged in pond water for a long period of time without operation, it could lead to the
accumulation of debris inside the pump. Clean the pump and run it in clean water for a few minutes before
returning the pump to the pond.
General Safety Instructions
1. Only use this pump with the voltages specified on the pump label.
2. Disconnect the mains supply before handling the pump in any way.
3. Never operate the pump when people are in contact with the water.
4. Never carry, lift, lower or pull the pump by the cable.
Electrical Safety Instructions
1. Always operate the pump at voltages between 220 & 240 volts.
2. For outdoor use, the plug must be connected to a weatherproof socket.
3. The electricity supply circuit must be fitted with a suitable fuse or a Residual Current Device (RCD), also
known as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not exceeding 30 mA.
4. It is necessary to conform to the regulations of the local electricity authority that may require additional
cable protection. There may also be building regulations covering the installation of pumps and ponds.
5. The electrical cable is permanently connected and sealed into the pump. Should the cable become
damaged, it cannot be repaired or replaced and the pump should be discarded.
General Maintenace & Cleaning
While the water chamber has a very effective self cleaning feature, any apparent reduction in the water
flow rate from your pump usually indicates that it requires cleaning. Regular cleaning and maintenance will
significantly lengthen the life of the impeller and the motor unit.
To clean your pump:
1. First disconnect it from the mains supply and press in the two sides of the water inlet cover to remove it
from the water chamber housing.
2. Now undo the 4 screws that connect the water chamber housing to the motor body and remove the
water chamber to reveal the impeller.
3. Remove and check the impeller and rotor for dirt and grime and clean all parts in clean water. Do not use
hard objects, aggressive cleaning agents, or high-pressure machines.
4. Rinse all parts thoroughly in clean water and reassemble and reinstall your pump following the Installation
Instructions above.

A guide to simple problem solving
If you encounter a problem with this pump, before returning it to your Aquagarden stockist please check the
following chart for a possible cause and solution to your problem.
SYMPTOM
PROBABLE CAUSES
COUNTERMEASURE
The pump does not run
Power is not turned on
Turn on the power
Improperly plugged in
Push the plug fully into the socket
Blocked impeller
Unplug the pump and remove foreign
matter from impeller
The motor turns on and
off repeatedly without the
pump running, or the motor
suddenly stops and cannot be
started again
The water inlet or outlet pipe is
clogged with debris
Unplug the pump and remove foreign
matter from the pipes
The pump runs normally to
start with but the water flow
reduces or there is no water
flow at all
Impeller is worn out and needs
replacing
Replace the impeller with a new one
from your Aquagarden stockist
The water level in the pond is too low,
exposing the pump to the air
Ensure that the pump is fully
submerged under water and, if
necessary, top up the pond
A hose is too long or clogged with
debris
Shorten the hose and / or clear the
blockage
There is air in the impeller chamber
(only applicable when the pump is
located out of water)
To remove the air, submerge the pump
under water and switch ON and OFF
two or three times
