MAINTENANCE
The Hozelock Cyprio range of Aquaforce pumps have been
designed to allow fast and easy maintenance. To prolong
the life of your pump and keep your pump in peak
condition, you should follow these maintenance
guidelines.
Caution
: Always unplug or disconnect ALL appliances in
the pond from the electricity supply before putting your
hands in the water or starting maintenance.
1. When the pump is newly installed, you should check
your pump daily that it is performing correctly.
2. If you notice a drop in performance (low flow) you
should clean the strainer cage. Cleaning intervals will vary
depending on the condition of your pond’s water. This
could be as often as weekly in the summer months. To
clean the strainer cage, open the clips and remove the
pump. The cage can then be wiped clean of debris
blocking the strainer holes and washed in clean water. You
should also check that the pump chamber & rotor are not
blocked with debris.
3. At least once a year you should completely disassemble
the pump including the rotor assembly as described below
and wash all components in clean, fresh water. Replace
worn or broken parts.
Pump Dismantling & Assembly
(Fig. 13 (1000) - Fig 14 (2500 & 4000))
a. Switch off the pump and remove the strainer cage as
described above and remove the pump.
b. Ensure the pump is cool before dismantling it.
c. Release the pump chamber (a) by rotating it until the
two retaining tongues are clear of the lugs on the motor
body.
d. Gently pull the pump chamber squarely away from the
motor body (d).
e. Pull the rotor assembly (c) out of the motor body (d).
Important!
Take extra care so as to not drop any of the
small components. See Fig 15-a for assembly of the 1000
rotor, Fig 15-b for the assembly of the 2500 rotor and Fig
15-c for assembly of the 4000 rotor.
f. Wash out all of the components in clean water. Do not
use detergents or other chemical cleaners.
g. Replace the rotor assembly into the motor body, refit
the pump chamber and return the pump to the strainer
cage.
4. If you live in a hard water area (water with high levels of
calcium or limescale content), the pump, rotor assembly
and the inside of the motor should be cleaned at regular
intervals. The cleaning interval required will vary
depending on the hardness of your water, so you should
inspect for signs of calcium build up regularly.
To clean off calcium or limescale deposits a small nylon
bristled brush (such as a toothbrush) may be used.
Dismantle the pump as described above and remove the
rotor. Clean the limescale deposits from the rotor using
fresh clean water.
If excessive calcium deposits build up, the thermal overload
protection may be activated (See INTRODUCTION).
WINTER CARE
1. Your pump should be removed from your pond during
the autumn.
2. Clean the pump as described above.
3. During winter, we recommend storing the pump in a
bucket of water. This is to prevent the bearings from
drying out and potentially seizing. This is especially
important if you have been using your pump in a hard
water area. The bucket of water containing the pump
should be stored in a frost protected area.
