WATERFEATURE PLUMBING GUIDE
If used to supply water to a waterfeature, cascade, waterfall, ect; where a pipe is needed to be used, use the hosetails
supplied in the package.
• For best results, use the bigger tubing size
recommended in the table previously. Depending on
the pump size, select the hose tail requiered for your
tubing size and evaluate whitch step on the hose tail
will be used. If you are using 32mm hose and you
are connecting it to the 32mm\25mm\20mm hose
tail supplied, remember to saw off the smaller size
connection (I.E.: 25mm\20mm step). Otherwise it will
create a unnessary restriction in the plumbing system.
• A omni-directional ball joint is provided for your
convenence when used under water. This is because
the diagonal side sections of the balljoint may seep
water when under pressure. Select the 1 ½” Threaded
Reducing adaptor and screw onto the top of the pump.
To seal adequitly, the use of thread seal tape on this
male thread may be requierd (availible at your local
stockest).
• The fittings pack should include the nessary O’ring
washers. Select the one that will fit the female
connection of the balljoint. Place it firmly in the locking
nut. Now screw the locking nut of the balljoint onto the
Threaded Addaptor on the pump. Fasten firmly but do
not over tighten.
• Then select the Hose tail. Locate the second O’ring
washer and the locking nut of the hose tail. Slide the
loking nut over the hose tail and insert the second
O’ring in the nut. Then connect the 1 ½” Threaded
Locking Nut on the Hosetail to the Balljoint and screw
in firmly.
• Now connect the tubing to the hose tail. Remember
to use Stainless Stell hose clamps to fasten the hose
on to the hosetail. This is to ensure that the pipe does
not blow off at a later time or leak at this point in the
plumbing system.
• When used in a pond/waterfeature enviroment,
position the pump as outlined above.
• Direct the hose to your desired location.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit or the water body. Remove the unit from the water. If your unit is connected to a sponge filter, the filters and
sponges 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 EvoII Submersible 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 life. In the centre of the
impellor you may notice a small whole opening that
protrudes through the ceramic shaft from front to back.
It is paramount that this portal is kept unblocked at all
times. This is a cooling channel for the motor.
• If using a fountain kit, take off the fountain set first by
unscrewing it from the top of the pump. Examine the
nozzles to ensure all ports are unblocked. Clean with a
suitable brush if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how
long it takes for the sponge to get clogged up. When
the flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if
necessary.
• To unclip the front filter cage from the front of the
pump, twist the cage in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull forward. See below for diagram. If available, take
out the optional Internal Bio sponge and clean. If using
an optional pre-filter 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.
