Zawartość opakowania

• TetraPond Water Garden Pump (Model 26588)
• 1-inch ID (Inner Diameter) Adapter

Konfiguracja i instalacja

1. Rozpakowywanie: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the pump for any signs of damage.
2. Podłączenie adaptera: Attach the provided 1-inch ID adapter to the pump's outlet. Ensure a secure fit.
3. Połączenie przewodów: Connect appropriate tubing (not included) to the 1-inch ID adapter. For optimal flow, use tubing with an inner diameter matching the adapter. Secure the tubing with a hose clamp (nie dołączone) aby zapobiec przeciekom.
4. Placement in Pond:

   Place the pump on a stable, level surface at the bottom of your pond. Ensure it is fully submerged in water. Avoid placing it directly in heavy sludge or debris, which can clog the intake.

5. Podłączenie elektryczne: Route the 12-foot power cord to a GFCI-protected electrical outlet. Ensure the cord is not pinched or damaged. Plug in the pump only after it is fully submerged and all connections are secure.

Działanie

Once the pump is installed and connected, plug it into the GFCI-protected outlet. The pump will begin to circulate water. The flow rate of the pump is rated at 1000 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) at zero head height. The actual flow rate will decrease as the vertical distance (head height) the water is pumped increases.

• Waterfalls: For waterfalls, approximately 1 inch of waterfall width is achieved for every 100 GPH of flow. Adjust the pump's position or the tubing to achieve desired waterfall effects.
• Fountain Heads: If using fountain heads (not included), attach them securely to the pump's outlet or a diverter valve.
• Filtry: This pump can be used to power external filters. Ensure the filter is compatible with the pump's flow rate.

Konserwacja

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump. Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance.

1. Czyszczenie wirnika:

   Over time, debris can accumulate around the impeller, reducing pump efficiency. To clean:

   • Odłącz pompę.
   • Wyjmij pompę ze stawu.
   • Carefully remove the pump housing or intake screen to access the impeller.
   • Remove any debris (leaves, algae, etc.) from the impeller and its chamber.
   • Opłucz wszystkie części czystą wodą.
   • Reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts are securely in place.

2. Czyszczenie sitka wlotowego: Periodically check and clean the intake screen to prevent clogging. A clogged screen will reduce water flow.
3. Zimowanie: In freezing climates, remove the pump from the pond before temperatures drop below freezing. Clean the pump thoroughly and store it in a frost-free location submerged in a bucket of water to keep seals moist, or follow specific manufacturer guidelines for dry storage.
