Thank you for purchasing this Clarke Submersible Pump.
These highly efficient pumps are designed for pumping clean water, or water containing
sand or solids in suspension, (please see Features, page 5), and are ideally suited for draining
ponds, pools, building excavations etc., where water temperature does not
exceed 50°C.
These pumps are NOT suitable for pumping salt water, or for permanent installation in fish
ponds as the acidity, found in fish ponds, will damage the pump seals.
Before attempting to operate your pump, please read this instruction manual thoroughly
and follow all directions carefully. This is for your own safety and that of others around you,
and to help you achieve long and trouble free service from your pump.
