applications, use the Hosetail. If used externally, use the (2) Coupling Fittings provided in the fittings pack.
SUBMERSIBLE USE
When used inside a pond skimmer / water feature
enviroment, follow proceedure as outlined below.
• For best results, use the tubing size recommended in the
Technical Specification table. Depending on the pump
size and your tubing size, select the Hosetail required for
and evaluate which step on the Hosetail will be used. If
you are using 1” hose and you are connecting it to the
3/4”, 1”, 1-1/4”, 1-1/2” Hosetail supplied, remember to saw
off the smaller size connection (I.E.: 3/4” step).
Otherwise it will create a unnecessary restriction in the
plumbing system.
• Select the 1-1/2” x 1” Reducer Bushing Fitting and thread
onto the outlet of the pump (top). To seal ,
the use of thread seal tape may be ( at
your local dealer).
• The fittings pack includes a red washer designed for
the locking nut on the Hosetail. Place a washer firmly in
the locking nut on the Hosetail fitting. Now thread the
locking nut of the Hosetail onto the 1-1/2” x 1” Reducer
Bushing Fitting on the pump. Fasten firmly but do not
over tighten.
• Now connect the tubing to the Hosetail. Remember to
use Stainless Steel Hose Clamps to fasten the hose on to
the Hosetail barbs. This is to ensure that the pipe does
not blow off at a later time or leak at this point in the
plumbing system.
• Direct the hose to your desired location.
EXTERNAL USE
When installed outside the pond enviroment, follow
proceedure as outlined below.
•
•For best results in external applications, the pump must
have adequate flooded suction at all times (installed
outside pond, below elevation of the surface of water).
Also reference the tubing size recommended in the
Technical Specification table to make sure the new or
existing plumbing configuration is sized correctly.
• In external applications it is necessary to remove the
Front Filter Screen of the pump to expose the threaded
inlet. Do this by removing the Base Plate of pump (see
“Cleaning Instructions” Section) and then turn Front
Filter Screen counterclockwise, t hen pull away from
Pump Motor Body. NOTE: You will not need either of the
Front Filter Screens in an external application, so feel free
to keep with this instruction manual or discard.
• The fittings pack includes (2) 1” x 1” female Coupling
Fittings, which are meant to fit directly onto both the
threaded inlet and outlet on pump.
• Now thread a coupling onto both the inlet and outlet of
the pump. Fasten firmly but do not over tighten. To seal
, the use of thread seal tape may be required
( at your local dealer).
• Make sure that the suction line (inlet side of plumbing)
has a suction screen or leaf strainer to catch large debris
that could potentially harm pump (ask your local dealer
for further information).
• Now the pump is ready to be connected to new or
existing plumbing configuration. Extra fittings and
adapters may be required ( at your local dealer),
based on the specific application.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance of the unit or the
water body. Remove the unit from the water. If your unit is connected to a sponge filter, the front screen and sponge
will clog up over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to maintain
the unit could result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
• All PondMAX Skimmer & Water Feature Pumps are
water cooled. If pump becomes restricted or blocked,
it may overheat and could cause permanent damage.
• The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with
epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. Regular
inspections, cleaning and maintenance of impeller is
necessary to ensure longer life. In the center of the
impeller you may notice a small hole opening that
protrudes through the ceramic shaft from front to
back. It is important that this opening is kept
unblocked at all times. This is a cooling channel for the
motor.
• If using a fountain kit, take off the fountain set first by
unscrewing it from the top of the pump. Examine the
nozzles to ensure all ports are unblocked. Clean with a
suitable brush if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how
long it takes for the screen to get clogged up. When
the flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if
necessary.
• To unclip the front filter from the front of
the pump, twist the cage in a counterclockwise
direction and pull forward. See below for diagram.
If available, take out the optional sponge and clean.
. It is recommended that this is done in a bucket of
pond water to ensure the good bacteria present in the
sponge are not killed by the chlorine in tap water.
Check for wear and tear on the sponge and replace if
necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your
filter sponge with a bacterial additive, available from
your local dealer.
