Electrical Connections
1. WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all
appliances in the pond from the electricity supply
before putting your hands in the water whilst
equipment is being installed, repaired, maintained
or handled.
2. Check that the voltage marked on the unit
corresponds to the mains supply.
3. The pump is supplied with 10m of 3 core electric
cable which is permanently connected and sealed
to the motor.
The supply cable cannot be replaced. If the cable
is damaged, the pump should be discarded.
The plug supplied with this product is not
waterproof and must be housed in a dry,
waterproof enclosure.
4. A 10mA or30mA Residual Current Device (RCD)
must be fitted to the mains supply.
5. The installation must conform to the National and
Local wiring regulations which could include the
use of plastic or metal conduit to protect the cable.
6. WARNING: This appliance must be connected to
an earthed supply.
7. The pump cable (and extension cable) should
be positioned and adequately protected against
damage especially where contact with gardening
equipment, (lawn mowers, forks etc..) children and
domestic animals may occur.
8. Consult a qualified electrician or local authority if
in any doubt about wiring to the mains supply.
Typical Installation
NOTE: When running amphibiously, the dry sited
pump MUST be positioned horizontally, as shown.
(See Fig. 2 & 3)
Pump Assembly & Installation
- Submerged Operation
1. Open the clips at either end of the strainer cage
(Fig 1 – F) and open the cage.
2. Remove the Small fish protection insert (Fig 1 – A).
3. Remove & unpack the ball joint, hosetails & Flow
control (Fig 1–D,E & H).
4. Remove the mains supply cable and unwind.
5. Ensure that the outlet of the pump is secured to
the outlet adaptor (Fig 1 – C). Locate the pump
onto its mounting area ensuring that the adaptor
piece slots into the location ribs in the front of the
lower cage (Fig 4).
Note: The adaptor should be orientated with the
outlet at the bottom of the cage (Fig 5).
6. Locate the mains supply cable into the recess
on the side of the cage. Ensure it is seated in the
correct position so that the cable does not get
trapped when the cage is closed. (Fig 6).
Refit the small fish protection insert.
7. Close the cage lid ensuring that the end cap (Fig 1
– G) is in its correct position and secure by pressing
in the centre of the clips (Fig 7).
8. Checking that the ball joint’s inlet and outlet
bosses are in line, firmly screw the nut on to the
screw thread on the outlet adaptor (Fig 8).
9. Using small bore hoses leads to excessive
restriction of the water flow. The larger the
diameter of hose that you use the better the
performance of the pump will be, especially over
long hose runs. The hosetail supplied with this unit
will accommodate 25mm (1”), 32mm (1.25”) and
40mm (1.6”) hose as well a ¾” BSP screw thread for
attaching fountain accessories. We would always
recommend that on pumps of this size, that the
40mm diameter hose should be used when using
the pump as a waterfall pump or in combination
with a filter (Fig 2 & 3). Once you have selected the
hose diameter you wish to use, cut the steps off the
hosetail which are smaller than the hose diameter
to eliminate restriction (Fig 9). Attach a suitable
length hose to the hosetail and secure with a
suitable hose clip and position the outlet end of the
hose in the desired position.
10. Screw the hosetail directly onto the outlet boss of
the ball joint (Fig 10). The ball joint can be rotated
to allow the hose to be directed away from the
pump.
Position
11. For the best results, the pump should be positioned
in the deepest part of the pond at least 200mm
under the surface. This will ensure the best
circulation of water in the pond and when being
used as a filtration pump, its solids handling
capability will be maximised.
For best results, the pump should not be placed
directly on the bottom of the pond. We recommend
that the pump be installed on a flat level platform
which is raised approximately 300mm from bottom
of pond. This will prevent the pump sucking dirt
directly from the bottom of the pond and will also
ensure that sufficient water remains in the pond in
the event of accidental leakage of pond water (See
Fig 11).
Small Fish Protection Insert
12. If you have fish or other wildlife in your pond,
there are periods in the year during which they
may breed. At this time the fish ‘fry’ are small and
can be sucked into the pump. To minimise this
possibility, the Aquaforce range of pumps has a
unique small fish protection insert, which reduces
the inlet strainer hole size down to 2mm at this
critical time in fishes’ life cycle. To use this feature,
locate the insert’s 4 legs into the corresponding
area in the lower cage as shown in Fig 12 ensuring
