1. Safety Measures
Warning: Before starting the pump, read this instruction booklet carefully.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Important: A 10mA or 30mA Residual Current Device (GFI) MUST be fitted to the mains supply of the pump only.
The power cord must never be used to carry or move the pump. Always use the pump's handle.
Note: Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket. Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord. If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service in order to avoid all risks.
Overload Protection
The pump has a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any overheating of the motor, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cutout is tripped, it is essential to identify and deal with the cause of the overheating. See Troubleshooting.
2. Use
Multi-purpose submersible pumps with a high degree of reliability and safety designed to circulate water in garden ponds, create water falls and play water features.
Designed to work in both horizontal and vertical installations.
NOVA 4100 models are suitable to pump clean water, without fibres and with particles with maximum diameter of 0.393" (10 mm).
- Circulating water in Garden ponds.
- Water falls.
- Fountains.
- Water features.
The temperature of the fluid being pumped must never exceed 95°F (35°C).
Warning: The pump must not be used to pump salty water, sewage, flammable, corrosive or explosive liquids (e.g. petrol, fuel, diluents), greases, oils or foodstuffs.
Important: Before starting the pump, make sure that:
- The voltage and frequency specified on the pump's nameplate coincide with those of the available power supply; these pumps are designed for 115 Volt / 60 Hz or 230Volt / 60Hz operation.
- There are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord.
- The electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding.
- Conformity with local and State electric codes is mandatory. The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying sump, utility, effluent and all fountain pumps, pool pumps and other pond equipment. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company if in doubt.
Note: Given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries, make sure that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current local or state legislation.
3. Starting the Pump
Insert the plug on the power cord in a suitable power socket.
Start the pump. 20 times per hour Max.
4. Recommendations
To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following recommendations:
- The pump must never be allowed to run dry.
- Never leave the pump in operation when the delivery pipe is clogged.
- Place the pump in a vertical or horizontal position on a flat surface at the bottom of the pond. Care should be taken not to seat the intake of the pump directly into mud or pond debris as this may cause the strainer to initially block.
- The pump must only be used when it is immersed in water. If the water runs out, the pump must be stopped immediately by removing the plug from the power supply.
- It is absolutely essential to prevent any risk of the pump freezing. In the event of freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot freeze.
- Check the pump installation regularly to ensure the base inlet is clear of debris and that water is flowing unrestricted. Occasionally it may be necessary to clean the water intake chamber.
To clean the water intake chamber:
- Unscrew the four screws from the bottom plate (pos. 1) from the main body (pos. 2).
- Thoroughly flush the inner cavity and impeller with clean water.
- Refit the base taking care not to damage the o-ring.

| Fault | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| The pump does not run. | Power cord unplugged. Impeller jammed. Water level under the suction minimum. |
Plug cord securely into the socket and check if there is voltage on the line. Disconnect the power cord, disassemble hydraulic part and check if impeller is free to run. Stop the pump. Reposition pump to ensure pump is always fully submerged. |
| Suction filter clogged. | Air bubble in the pump, produced during the plunge. Suction filter clogged. Discharge tube clogged or obstructed. |
Get the air out by plunging again the pump while in a tilted position and shake it with the discharge tube open. Disconnect the power cord, clean the hydraulic part. Disconnect the power cord: take off the tube and clean it. |
| Suction filter clogged. | The thermal overload protection in the pump has activated. Water Temperature exceeds 95°F. The pump ran dry. |
Clean water intake area. Allow pump to cool for approximately 30 minutes. Maximum water temperature must not exceed 95°F. Reposition pump to ensure pump is always fully submerged. |
