Safety information

WARNING: Risk of electric shock – This pump has

not been approved for use in swimming pool or

marine areas.
WARNING: To provide continued protection against risk

of electric shock, connect to properly grounded, ground

fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets only, using the

following guidelines:

(A) Have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded

receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor use and protected

from snow and rain.

(B) Inspect cord before using.
(C) Do not use extension cords.
(D) Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualified

electrician to ensure code compliance and user safety.

(E) Unplug pump at receptacle outlet when

not in use or before removal from pond.

(F) To reduce risk of electrical shock, all wiring and junction

connections should be made per local codes. Requirements

may vary depending on usage and location.

(G) The power cable should be protected at all times

to avoid punctures, cuts, bruises and abrasions.

(H) Never handle power cords with wet hands.
(I) Do not remove cord and strain relief. Do not connect conduit to pump.
(J) Do not use power cable to lift pump.

inStruCtionS for uSe

• Always operate the pump fully submerged. Failure to do so will

overheat the pump and cause it to fail, thus voiding the warranty.

DO NOT OPERATE DRY!

• Use only in fully assembled state. Failure to operate the pump without

the cover/strainer in place will allow large debris to enter the pump,

causing the pump to fail and voiding the warranty.

• Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled in the

impeller or other moving parts.

• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. DO NOT insert fingers

in pump with power connected.

• Do not pump hazardous materials or liquids such as oil, saltwater or

organic solvents.

• Products returned must be cleaned, sanitized, or decontaminated, as

necessary, prior to shipment so as to ensure that employees will not be

exposed to health hazards in handling said material. All applicable

laws and regulations shall apply.

ImPORTANT! Aquascape, Inc. is not responsible for losses,

injury, or death resulting from a failure to observe these

safety precautions, misuse or abuse of pumps or equipment.

typiCal inStallation

• The Aquascape Container

Water Garden Filter is

ideally sized and designed

for small to medium-sized

water features up to

approximately 50 gallons.

It’s small enough to fit into

tight spaces, yet contains

everything you need to

filter the water: a pump,

mechanical filter sponge and

biological carbon media.

• The Aquascape Container

Water Garden Filter is

designed to be operated

fully submerged.

DO NOT RUN DRY.

add either the Spray Bar or Hose Barb

attachment to the filter discharge:
• Spray Bar: The Spray Bar will ensure circulation and water

movement necessary for proper aeration when keeping fish.

• Attach the threaded elbow portion of the Spray Bar kit directly to the

Aquascape Container Water Garden Filter, then add the remaining

two pieces of the spray bar, as shown here. The far end of the spray

bar is sealed with a circular rubber plug. (To position the Spray Bar

farther from the pump add the extension between the threaded elbow

and the slip X slip elbow.)

• Position the Spray Bar horizontally at the surface of the water.
• Hose Barb Attachment: The

Hose Barb Attachment allows

you to use the Aquascape

Container Water Garden Filter

to run a variety of ornaments or

accessories. Attach the threaded

portion of the Hose Barb directly

to the filter and then attach the

hose running from the ornament

to the Hose Barb.

• Place your filter in your container water garden. The filter can

be placed in either the horizontal position on the shelf of the

container water garden, or vertically or horizontally on the bottom of

the container.

• Connect the filter to an outlet that is protected by a ground fault circuit

interrupter (GFCI).

• Once the filter is running and water circulating, check for any

fitting leaks.

operation and maintenanCe

• Component parts cleaning – The filter cartridge is easily separated

from the pump for maintenance purposes. Grasp the pump in one hand

and gently pull while bending the filter cartridge away from the pump.

It will pop off, allowing access to both the filter carbon cartridge and

the filter sponge.

• Inlet Screen & Filter Cleaning – We recommend inspecting your pump

on a regular basis to ensure it is functioning properly. If you notice

the water flow rate diminish, it may be due to the pump’s inlet screen

or internal filters becoming clogged with debris. In many cases the

clogged screen can be cleaned by pulling the pump out of the water to

remove debris from the pump cover. With the filter sponge and carbon

cartridge removed, rinse them in a bucket, using clean water from your

container water garden to dislodge debris. Always disconnect the

power before performing maintenance on the pump.

• Internal Pump Cleaning – If you have thoroughly cleaned the intake

screen and filters and still have diminished flow rates, then you will

need to remove the impeller cover to inspect the impeller rotor assembly.

• If your rotor assembly impeller and internal pump body have excessive

scale build-up, clean with a mild acid, such as white vinegar or non-

abrasive calcium, lime and rust remover product using a sponge or

soft-bristled brush that won’t scratch the impeller. Removing scale build

up will allow your pump to run like new again.

• Replacing the Impeller Assembly – The impeller assembly is the only

moving part on the pump and will experience wear and tear. If you’ve

cleaned the pump, as described above, and still experience poor pump

performance, it is most likely time to replace the impeller. Replacing

the impeller is extremely easy. Replacement Impeller Kits are available

through your local Aquascape dealer.

• Winter Storage – Disconnect the tubing from the discharge fitting

and remove the pump from the container water garden. Clean the

pump and inlet screens with fresh water and store the pump in a

frost-free location.
