CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the power supply is disconnected from the solar panel before attempting any
maintenance or adjustment of the unit. Remove the unit from the water. The filter will clog up over time.
Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to maintain the unit
will result in a burnt out motor and other damage. All Aquapro DC Solar Pumps are water cooled, if
pump becomes restricted, or blocked, it will overheat and could cause permanent damage. When the
flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if necessary.
The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. Regular
inspections, cleaning and maintenance of impellor is necessary to ensure longer life
1. Disconnect the tubing/fountain kit from off the pump.
2. Press on the bottom of the filter housing, and meanwhile move the filter housing apart from the
pump.
3. Turn the impeller cover together with flow valve clockwise to the end and then carefully pull the
impeller cover, together with flow valve, apart from the pump.
4. Lift out the impellor assembly. (Take care not to break ceramic shaft.) Clean the impellor with clean
water and a suitable brush taking note to remove fine sediment on and around the back end of the
impellor. Replace the impellor if necessary.
5. Clean the housing and pump with a suitable brush, taking care to clean off sludge, algae and debris.
6. Assemble the pump in reverse sequence.
7. Reconnect the pump as before.
*Be careful not to drop the ceramic shaft while cleaning the impeller, it breaks easily.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
It is important to ensure that this is carried out regularly as the cooling path inside the motor will
become clogged. If the impellor assembly becomes worn or damaged it should be replaced (available
from your dealer or special orders). Failure to do so may cause serious damage to pump. Inspect for
signs for wear and tear. The impellor set is a wearing consumable part.
