TROUBLESHOOTING

Slow Flow Rate

1. For optimum function of the unit, we highly recommend the pump is

positioned on a brick, so it is not resting directly on the bottom on the pond.

This is to prevent large clumps of debris blocking the inlets and restricting the

ﬂow.

2. Follow the maintenance section. Ensure pipework is not blocked, leaking or

is laid so that it gets crushed or kinked.

3. Locate the impeller and shaft in the pump and inspect for damage and clear

the ﬁttings and parts of any waste build-up.

5. 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 these parts looks

5. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest

ﬁne and there are two rubber grommets ﬁtted on each end of the shaft, or

already inside the ﬁttings, then re-assemble the unit.

No Flow From Pump

1. Check power supply is on.

2. Check fuse and cable for any damage.

3. Follow the slow ﬂow rate guide (see above) and keep any hose ﬁttings to a

minimum. This helps to remove frictional loss of ﬂow and so increases pump

ﬂow rates.
