Trouble Shooting
11. Once the impeller is in place, turn it to ensure it
is installed correctly then replace the rubber seal
on the impeller.
12. Place the impeller cover back on and replace
the screws.
13. Put the strainer back on the front of the pump.
14. Prior to reinstalling the unit back into your pond
or water feature, ensure your hand is dry and there
is no water on any part of the pump which is not
intended to have water on it. Plug the pump in and
turn on to ensure the pump is working corectly.
15. Place every thing back together and follow
instructions for starting your pump.
WARNING:
Disconnect electrical supply
before commencing any work on the pump.
1. THE PUMP KEEPS SWITCHING OFF.
All pumps are fitted with thermal overload
protectors to protect the pump against
overheating. If this is activated it is normally due to
flow through the pump being restricted. When the
pump cools down it will automatically restart.
Clean the pump according to the cleaning
instructions ensuring all debris has been removed
from the strainer. Ensure water can enter the
pump without restriction.
Check that the impeller rotates freely. If not, clean
the impeller as directed. (See Accessing the
Impeller)
Check all pipes or hoses from the pump to
waterfall, UVC or filter are clear. As restricted flow
will have the same effect, reduce pump
performance and cause overheating.
2. THE FLOW HAS REDUCED.
Check all pipes for kinks. Hoses buried under
ground may also be crushed by moving soil.
Clean pump according to cleaning and
maintenance instructions.
Calcium/Limescale.
Pump output can also be reduced by the effects of
limestone or calcium build up especially in ‘hard
water’ areas. Pumps should therefore be descaled
regularly to maximize life expectancy.
Procedure: Disconnect power supply, remove
pump from pond and remove the impeller. The
whole motor and impeller should be immersed in a
suitable descaling agent like that used for kettles
or a specialist pump descaler. Once the calcium
has been removed thoroughly wash all parts in
freshwater before reassembling to remove any
traces of the descaling agent.
3. THE PUMP WILL NOT SWITCH ON
AGAIN.
Verify the pump is connected to the mains supply.
Check all fuses, earth leakage circuit breakers and
connections. If this all seems OK try an alternative
power source.
4. THERE IS POWER TO THE PUMP BUT
THE IMPELLER DOES NOT TURN.
Check the impeller moves freely and no small
pieces of grit have got caught behind the impeller.
(See Accessing The Impeller)
DO NOT USE
YOUR FINGERS TO MOVE THE IMPELLER.
If you are not able to solve any of the above
problems with your pump, please contact your
pond specialists for further advice and servicing.
