CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit. Remove the unit from the water. The filters and sponges in this unit will clog 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 Pond & Fountain pumps are water cooled, if pump becomes restricted, or blocked, it will overheat and
could cause permanent damage. 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 impellor life.
• Take off the fountain set first. Unscrew the fountain kit
from the top of the unit. Examine the nozzles to ensure
all ports are unblocked. Clean with a suitable brush if
necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how
quickly the sponge gets clogged up. When the flow
starts to be reduced, check and clean if necessary.
• Unclip the front filter cage from the front of the pump
and take out the filter sponge and clean. If using an
optional prefilter block sponge, slide the sponge off the
threaded core and wash out. It is recommended that
this is done in a bucket of pond water to ensure the
good bacteria that are present in the sponge are not
killed by the Chlorine in tap water. Check for wear and
tear of the sponges. Replace if necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your filter
sponge with a bacterial additive, available from your
local stockiest.
• To maintain the impellor of the pump, turn the Impellor
cover locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction to
the stop position and lift off. Then you can separate
the impellor cover from the pump body. Take out the
impellor. (Take care not to break ceramic shaft because
it is brittle.)
• Clean the impellor with clean water and a suitable
brush. Inspect for signs for wear and tear. If the
impellor set 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.
The impellor set is a wearing consumable part.
• Once the cleaning and inspection process is completed,
reassemble in the revers manner. Reinstall the shaft
into the motor body, and then carefully slide the
impellor onto the shaft. The impellor will pull itself in by
magnetic force, this is normal (take care not to pinch
your fingers or break the shaft).
• Replace the impellor cover, making sure the shaft is
located properly on the impellor cover. You may need
to place rubber impellor locator (Grommet) on end of
shaft to locate into impellor cover properly. Reattach
the locking ring.
• Replace the internal sponge and front cage or foam
block sponge prefilter.
• Re-attach fountain kit and/or tubing, relocate in water,
connect to power supply and turn on.
INSTALLATION
• Once a fountain nozzle has been selected, assemble the fountain kit as per the diagram.
• Screw the T-piece onto the pump outlet and adjust the telescopic riser to the desired height and align vertically. On
the Dual Control Flow Adjuster, on the T-piece, you can vary the flow between the fountain head and the waterfall
outlet. Close the second outlet of the T-piece if this is not required for an optional waterfall or water spout.
• Place the pump in desired location, ensure the pump is on a stable surface that is free of sludge, sand and other
debris, and connect tubing to the outlet or attach fountain kit.
• Position the device in the pond horizontally, on a solid base, in such a way that it is fully covered with water and the
fountain nozzle protruding out of the water.
• Push the plug into the power supply outlet and switch on.
• Use the power supply switch for turning the unit on and off.
