Pond installation
Fig. B
The PondECO RC pump is suitable for pond hoses with diameters of 25, 32 and 40 mm. Cut the Multi-step hose connector to
the desired diameter and fasten it on the pump.
• Connect the pond hose to the hose connector using a hose clamp (not included).
Fig. C
Preferably install the pump in the deepest part of the pond (max. 2 metre depth), or at least 20 cm below the water surface.
• Make sure that the pump stands horizontally and firmly on a flat surface so that it cannot fall over.
Inline installation
Fig. D
For inline use, the pump section must be taken out of the housing.
Fig. E
Open the housing by pressing the latch at the front and back, which will release the upper shell.
Fig. F
Remove the bracket that runs over the pump by unscrewing the 2 screws and take the pump out of the housing.
• At the front of the pump is the inlet (suitable hose connector (Art. 07070487) not supplied). At the top is the outlet (for the
supplied hose connector (Art. 07070487)).
Fig. B
First, cut the hose connectors to the desired diameter and then fasten them to the pump.
• Connect the pond hoses to the hose connectors using hose clamps (not included).
• Install the pump horizontally and firmly on a flat surface outside the pond. Make sure that the pump cannot tip over, if
necessary you can secure the pump with screws.
General installation
Fig. A
Connect the plug of the pump to the receiver, make sure that the plug connections are protected against moisture. Install the
receiver in a dry place, with a minimum 2 metre clearing from the pond.
• NOTICE!
The receiver must not get wet, place it in the handy SuperFish DriBox (Art. 06070035) available from your dealer. This
prevents water damage to your receiver.
• Plug the receiver into the socket and make sure there is a drip loop in the cord.
• Make sure that no one can trip over the cord and that the cord cannot be damaged.
Usage of the remote control
The PondECO RC pump is equipped with a remote control with which you can easily switch the pump on and off. You can set the pump
capacity, stepped head, thus aiding with consumption.
• At its lowest settings the pump will consume less energy but will also have a reduced performance and will therefore pump
less water around. This may cause the pump to come to a standstill (especially with a lot of head, the use of long pond hoses
and many bends). In that case, increase the pump capacity by one or two steps.
• This Remote Control is dedicated to the SuperFish PondECO Plus RC 5000 and E 5000 pumps. When used on a different type
of pump, this pump will not work or will work incorrectly. Make sure the remote control does not get wet, store it in a dry
place.

Maintenance
• The pump should be cleaned regularly (minimum twice a year) to ensure trouble free operation. Scale deposits, in particular,
can cause your pump to cease. There is no warranty on failures due to dirty pumps and scale build up inside the pump caused
by improper or lack of maintenance.
• Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out maintenance!
• Disconnect the pump from the pond hose and rinse the housing under the tap or garden hose.
• For proper cleaning and descaling, it is best to use SuperFish Pump & UVC Clean (Art. 07070500), which is available from your
dealer.
