• If running through winter conditions, check regularly to make sure it is functioning properly and ice is not forming around the
pump.
• In the event of a power failure, the powerhead should be removed to prevent any damage.
• If concerned about possible freeze damage, disconnect and remove the powerhead. Clean with fresh water and store the
pump in a frost-free location.
Winter Application
• Over time, depending on conditions, the powerhead may collect debris around the outside of the unit. Remove this debris
from the outside of the unit to provide maximum water flow.
• Outer/Inner Cage Cleaning:
– Remove the single screw located at the center of the unit (Ex. 8). Depress all three external tabs and gently lift upward
to remove the front cage (Ex. 9).
– Clean the exterior and interior of the cage to remove any existing debris or buildup. If needed, use Aquascape Pump
Cleaner Maintenance Solution (#91143) to remove stubborn buildup.
• Propeller Cleaning:
– Remove the water chamber cover by rotating it counter-clockwise and gently pulling (Ex. 10).
– Remove the propeller by pulling gently.
– Clean the propeller and internal pump body with Aquascape Pump Cleaner Maintenance Solution (#91143), using a
sponge or soft-bristled brush.
– When reinstalling the propeller, be sure to align the three tabs with the corresponding indentations before locking into
place (Ex. 11).
– When reinstalling the cage, be sure to align the screw with the proper external tab.
General Maintenance
• Plug the quick-connect
fitting into a 12-Volt,
outdoor-rated transformer
or existing low-voltage
system. The Pond
Powerhead is designed to
operate on a power source
with a maximum operating
range of 9V-15V. Operating
the powerhead outside of
this voltage range voids the product warranty (Ex.7).
