4. MAINTENANCE
WARNING! With the exceptions listed below, all pump and electrical cable service maintenance and repair must be
undertaken by an authorised service agent only. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
WARNING! Ensure that the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
NOTE: The pump filter should only be cleaned out when necessary, as cleaning will simultaneously wash out the micro organisms which help
to keep the pond healthy. However, it should be cleaned whenever there is a noticeable deterioration in pump performance.
4.1.
Cleaning the filter sponge.
4.1.1. Press the filter housing together on both sides (fig 4.1) and pull off the cover.
4.1.2. Remove the sponge filter (fig 4.2) from the housing and clean with clean cold water.
Caution: Never use the pump without the filter in place as this could lead to damage to the pump.
4.2.
Cleaning the functioning parts.
4.2.1. Open the pump chamber lid (fig 4.3) by twisting it anti-clockwise a quarter turn and pulling it clear of the pump body.
4.2.2. Remove the magnetic impeller (fig 4.4) carefully from the shaft. As this is done the magnetic force of the impeller must be overcome.
4.2.3. Do not use any implements to remove dirt from inside the pump, but simply wash it out with lukewarm water.
4.2.4. Use a soft sponge to remove any dirt deposits.
4.2.5. To reassemble the pump, carefully slide the magnetic impeller onto the shaft. At a certain point, the impeller will be drawn into the
housing by the magnetic force.
4.2.6. Check that the ceramic washer (fig 4.5) and rubber bearing (fig 4.6) at both ends of the shaft are correctly mounted.
4.2.7. Before closing the pump chamber with the lid (fig 4.3) make sure that the o-ring (fig 4.7) is correctly seated.
4.2.8. Plug the supply cable into the mains supply briefly (no more than 3 seconds) to check that the impeller turns freely. A certain level of
noise is inevitable during this dry run. This is no cause for concern. When it is used in water, the pump should operate silently.
4.3.
Winter storage
4.3.1. Place the pump in water filled vessel in a frost free room. Storage in water prevents deposits from accumulating on the pump. If the
pump is stored dry, these deposits can block the impeller. If you wish to store the pump dry, you must ensure that the functioning
parts and filters have been thoroughly cleaned and dried.
