Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage
.
Possible consequences:
Death or serious injuries.
Protective measures:
• Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water: Isolate the
units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into the water.
• Isolate the unit before starting any work.
• Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.
WARNING
This pump uses a very strong magnet to achieve superior performance. When removing the impeller assembly there
will be considerable magnetic force resisting the extraction of the impeller assembly. This is normal. Likewise when
replacing the impeller assembly there will be a strong magnetic force pulling the assembly into the pump to potentially
cause injury to fingers and in rare cases damaging the ceramic shaft or rear bearing. Use thick gloves when replacing
the impeller assembly.
Cleaning the unit
●
Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending
upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the
fountain when a drop in visual performance is detected.
●
If necessary, clean the unit with warm water using a soft brush.
●
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions.
These could attack the housing surface or impair the function.
●
In the event of stubborn furring (calcium deposits), a common
household cleaner free from vinegar and chlorine can be used.
Subsequently, clean the pump thoroughly using warm water.
Cleaning the pump
1.
Disconnect the pump and the transformer from the
power source.
○ Disconnect the pump from the floating fountain.
2.
Remove the screen and disassemble the impeller
housing to expose the impeller assembly.
3.
Remove the impeller assembly by pulling on the back
round plate behind the impeller
4.
Use a soft colth or brush to clean the impeller assembly
and the inside of the impeller housing.
●
Check parts for damages such as cracked rotor,
cracks in the magnet, and broken plastics. Replace
parts if necessary.
5.
Reassemble in the reverse order.
