Equipment Installation

Operation • Safety • Warranty

This guide describes the basic procedures for operation and maintenance.
For specific equipment on the skid, please reference individual owners and operation 

manuals.
Service and maintenance on these systems is to be done ONLY by trained and 

experienced personnel.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

This water feature utilizes high voltage electrical equipment and is therefore 

potentially dangerous to operating and maintenance personnel if proper procedures 

are not followed.
Only persons qualified and authorized should be allowed to operate or maintain this 

electrical equipment. Failure to follow procedures can result in injury, fatal shock, or 

significant damage to equipment.

SKID MOUNT POND FILTRATION SYSTEM

GFCI breakers should be tested at regular intervals.

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION

The skid mount pond filtration system will need to have a 

level and stable area. A concrete pad or compacted area 

is recommended. Be sure to leave enough room around 

the pad for servicing the unit in the future.
Skid mount system can be installed in flooded suction 

or in suction lift applications. For flooded suction 

applications check valves are highly recommended on the 

discharge/return side of the pumping system.
Connect and glue the plumbing from pond skimmer and/

or bottom drains to the inlet of the pump. Connect and 

glue the plumbing on the return lines back to the pond.

Tips for operating an external pump:

Proper plumbing selection and set up is important when 

choosing to use an external pump. Below are some ways 

to set up an external pump with skimmer. There are limits 

to how high a pump can be placed in a suction lift set up. 

Each pump is different, but these general rules show how 

an external pump can be used. There are 

two basic set ups with an external pump: 

flooded suction or suction lift
flooded suction set up is where the 

pump is situated below the water level 

and water flows by gravity to pump.
suction lift set up is where the pump 

is located above water level. “Suction lift” is a technical 

term for this set up, it does not mean the pump acts like a 

vacuum cleaner. 

Never create a high 

spot between pump and 

skimmer/pond, it will create an air lock in the line and 

your system will not work correctly. See your pump’s 

manual for more information.

CHECK FOR LEAKS

Check to be sure that all union fittings are securely hand 

tightened. These are installed at the factory but could 

have come loose during transit or in process of installing 

unit. Also, be sure that the head of the filter is secured 

(see filter owner’s manual for details).
