1. PUMP INSTALLATION
Ideally and for convenience the pump should
be positioned within reach of the side of the
pond on a solid platform (e.g. paving slabs).
The pump must be at least 200mm (8") below
water level to avoid problems of freezing and
low water levels in summer.
All electrical work should be completed by a
qualified electrician.
Only use pump if completely immersed in
water.
A. Waterfall/Filter Only
For use with a pond filter you will often get
improved results with the pump sited at the
opposite end of the pond to the filter return.
The pump comes as standard with pond-life
friendly slots to help protect spawning life. In
some ponds this may not be necessary and you
may want to modify the pump to enable solids-
handling as below. The pump may be connected
to a waterfall or filter using 19mm (3/4"), 25mm
(1") or 32mm (11/4") bore hose. For maximum
flow use 32mm (11/4") hose connected directly
to the hose adaptor on the rotor cover.
The rotor assembly can be rotated through
90° as required by twisting the front end of
the pump.
B. Fountain (and Waterfall/Filter)
Insert fountain components as instructed in
Fountain Kit.
2. MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Disconnect electrical supply from pump
before removing from pond or contacting
pond water.
• Do not carry or pull the pump by the cable.
A. When flow from your pump is noticeably
reduced or fountain display has deteriorated:
i) Remove strainer cover by squeezing sides and
pulling off.
ii) Clean cover and remove any weed or blockage
around pump inlet rotor inlet.
iii) If you are using a fountain, remove and clean
fountain head in water with a brush.
iv) Reassemble. If flow is still poor check to see if
outlet pipe has become kinked or blocked.
B. If flow is stopped
i) Disconnect power.
ii) Remove cover and check for free rotation/
breakage of rotor.
iii) If rotor will not turn or is broken, remove and
clean - replace if broken or worn.
If in doubt please contact Closer Pets Customer
Service.
iv) Reassemble in reverse order after careful
cleaning of all components.
v) Replace the pump in water before reconnecting
power to start pump. If pump does not start
or stops again please contact Closer Pets
Customer Service.
