Installation Options

The pump can be installed either submerged in the pond or dry-mounted outside the pond.

Submerged Installation

1. Connect the appropriate hose to the pump's outlet. Ensure a secure, watertight connection.
2. Place the pump on a stable, level surface at the deepest part of the pond, away from heavy sludge.
3. Ensure the pump is fully submerged before connecting to power.

Dry-Mounted Installation

1. Position the pump on a stable, dry surface outside the pond, below the water level to ensure gravity feed.
2. Connect the intake hose from the pond to the pump's inlet. Ensure an airtight seal to prevent air leaks.
3. Connect the outlet hose to your filter system or waterfall.
4. Prime the pump by filling the pump housing with water before starting, if necessary, to ensure proper flow.

Operating Instructions

Power Connection

After installation, connect the pump's power plug to a grounded electrical outlet. The pump is equipped with run-dry protection, which automatically stops the pump if there is no water in the pump chamber.

Remote Control Operation

The Superfish Pond Eco Plus Rc 5000 features a remote control for adjusting water flow.

• ON/OFF Button: Press to turn the pump on or off.
• Flow Adjustment Buttons: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to increase or decrease the water flow rate. This allows for energy saving and precise control over your pond's circulation.

The pump saves up to 75% on energy costs due to its electronic drive and adjustable flow.
