(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.

impeller or other moving parts.
• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. DO NOT insert fingers
in pump with power connected.

OPeratiOn and maintenanCe
• Inlet Screen 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 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. always disconnect the power before
performing maintenance on the pump.
• Internal Pump Cleaning -
If you have thoroughly cleaned
the pump’s inlet screen 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
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 – The pump can be run during freezing weather, if
desired, but should be removed if shutting down the pump for the winter.
Disconnect the tubing from the discharge fitting and remove the pump
from the pond. clean the pump and inlet screens with fresh water and
store the pump in a frost-free location.
