Technical Specifications

CAUTION

These Pumps should be installed according to your local electrical installation code. Please contact an electrician. For all technical data, please refer to the content stated on the rating label of the pump. These pumps are not for use in swimming pools!

Safety Instructions

• Read and observe all the instructions supplied with the appliance and on the appliance.
• Make sure that the outlet voltage corresponds to the stated on the rating label of the pumps.
• Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
• The electrical connection should be located in a water-proof area and should be at least 6 feet away from the edge of the pond (see fig. 1).
• Keep the electrical connections dry! Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a “Drip Loop” (see fig. 3). This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
• Always unplug the appliance when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before cleaning the pumps and before doing any work for the fountain or pond.
• The pump must not be used when people are working in water. Please disconnect the pump first.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or in abnormal state. The supply cord of the appliance cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• For safety reasons, any repair work should be done only by the manufacturer of the products or the authorized service facility or discard it.
• Never hang or transport the pump by means of pulling the power cord!
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
• If you want to disconnect the pump, you can pull out the plug and the plug must be placed where you can access it.
• Never use accessories which are not recommended by the appliance manufacturer. It may result in fire, electric shock and/or personal injury.
• The pump is to be connected through a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.

Pump Specifications

• Min. Length of power cord: 33 feet. Do not use extension cords.
• These pumps are designed as submersible pumps and have been provided with overload protection for use in garden ponds, fountains, terraced fountains, indoor fountains to circulate and oxygenate clear water.
• You can use the suction cups or four screws to fix it. If it is fixed to any appropriate bases, make sure that the appliance is securely installed before operating it.

Facts

• High performance asynchronous motor with new design
• Energy saving up to 50% more than other pumps.
• High pump heads and larger flow.
• Can pump dirt particles of size up to 1¼"
• Wear proof ceramic shaft which can be used for a longer period of time.

Used as submersible pumps (see fig.1)

IMPORTANT: Do not let the pump run dry – this could cause damage to the motor.

• Submerse the pumps completely in your skimmer so as to make the pump body fill with water.
• A water level of approx. 6 in. is required for submersible use in order to prevent the pump from taking in air. (See fig.1)
• To prevent the screen becoming prematurely clogged, place the pump above the mud in the pond!
• The pump is designed to accommodate 2" external threads through the socket (fountain jets, nozzles, water height regulators, standpipes, etc.).
• Running in conjunction with fountain jets, the pump should be stationed firmly and horizontally (on a brick).
• The pump can be switched on by simply plugging it in and switched off by plugging off.
• The water temperature should not exceed 35°C (95°F) and do not let the pump freeze in the wintertime.

Overload protection

The pump has a built-in thermal overload trip which prevents the pump from overheating. The pump must be allowed to cool down before restarting. If the pump will not start again automatically when cooling down, please check the following conditions:

• Is there a sufficient water supply? [Add water if necessary]
• Has the screen become clogged? [Clean it if necessary]
• Has dirt entered the pump housing? [Follow the cleaning instructions below]
• Have hoses or jets become clogged? [Clean them if necessary]
• Has the pump sufficiently cooled down after overheating?

As soon as you have completed this checklist, you can start the pump again by plugging it back in.
