DESCRIPTIONS AND FEATURES
Your Pondmax pond pump has been manufactured
with advanced technology to provide you with the
best quality pump for your pond or waterfeature.
•
Pondmax pumps are suitable for use in many
different applications including; fountains,
water features, either submersible or inline.
•
Pondmax pumps are a magnetically driven
centrifugal pump, therefore they cannot pump
from a lower level when used inline.
•
Your Pondmax pump has a single moving
part (an impellor set) therefore enabling easy
cleaning and maintenance.
•
The motor and electrical components are
encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe
operation under water.
•
The pump has a robust bearing and
shaft design so no oil / grease lubrication
is required.
•
The Pondmax pumps that have plastic encased
impellor parts and ceramic shafts (no exposed
metal) may be used in salt water applications.

INSTALLATION
1.
If required, have a qualified electrician install
weather proof power point near to the pond
or waterfeature, (within the cable length of
the pump).
2.
Place the pump in desired location, ensure
the pump is on a stable surface that is free of
sludge, sand and other debris and connect
tubing to the outlet or attach fountain kit.
3.
Ensure pump is submerged or properly
installed inline then plug in power cable and
switch on.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the power cord from the power unit
before performing maintenance. Never lift pump
by power cord.
The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with
epoxy, therefore there is no need for lubrication
of the motor.
The only serviceable item is the impellor set, no other
maintenance is required.
The power cord can not be replaced. If the cord is
damaged, the pump must be discarded.
4.00
If the impellor set becomes worn or damaged it
should be replaced (available from your dealer).

Failure to do so may cause serious damage to

4.
Remove the impellor cover by turning
anticlockwise and pulling out (it may be quite
stiff due to algae and grime build up. Gently
remove the impellor and shaft, use long nose
pliers if needed. Take care not to break ceramic
shaft (if applicable) because they are brittle.
5.
Clean the impellor with a brush, checking for
any signs of wear or damage. If impellor/ shaft
are damaged or broken, replace immediately.
If pump is run with a damaged impellor
permanent damage may occur.
6.
Reinstall the shaft, and then carefully slide the
impellor onto the shaft. The impellor will pull
itself in by magnetic force, this is normal. (Take
care not to pinch your fingers or break the
shaft).
7.
Replace the impellor cover making sure the
shaft is located properly on the impellor cover
You may need to place rubber impellor locator
on end of shaft to locate in impellor cover
properly.
8.
Replace the internal sponge and front cage
or foam prefilter.
9.
Re-attach tubing/fountain kit, submerse in
water, connect to power supply and turn on.
