Pump Maintenance

IMPORTANT!
Failure to carry out routine maintenance and/or leaving the pump
with reduced/no flow rate for long periods will result in a shorter pump life and
will invalidate the warranty.
It is recommended to disconnect your pump and clean the impeller and
pipework monthly. Pipework will become blocked with waste and protein slime
over time, so regular cleaning is important for optimal performance.
The frequency of how often you will need to clean and inspect your unit of
course will depend on a lot of factors like how dirty the water is when you first
start using your pump, your pond volume and also how many fish you have.
How often you feed your fish and seasonal light levels will also affect how
quickly your pond water gets dirty and will need to be taken into consideration
when planning how often to clean your FPP unit.
Cage housing - can be removed by unscrewing single screw fixing located on
the back of the unit and gently depressing the push clips located on either side.
Wash through the cage housing to remove any debris.
Impeller - unscrew single screw fixing located on top of the impeller cover.
Turn it anti-clockwise to release lock.
The impeller can then be gently pulled away from the housing and inspected.
Ensure that the plastic propeller part of the impeller is attached to the
magnetic part and that they have not come apart or split. If this is the case you
need to replace your impeller. Wash parts with fresh water carefully.
