The All Pond Solutions PP pump range can be used to circulate water, pump to
and from a separate filtration system or water features using suitable flexible
hose (flexible hosing sold separately).
Please read the below instructions carefully before beginning to set up your
pump. DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE MAINS UNTIL SET UP IS
COMPLETE AND UNIT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
1. Connect the required attachments - make sure
the O-rings is added to the outlet hosetail (see image
on the right for reference). This will prevent leakage.
2. Connect your outlet pipe to either your filter, water
feature or alternative location. Secure the outlet pipe
using the included nut and ensure this is tight and
secure.
INSTALLATION & USE
You can add filter foam (sold separately) to the inlet of
the PP. This may slow down your flow rate but will
ensure you pick up larger dirt particles before this
enters your pump/filter system.
3. If you need to connect the inlet pipe you can
remove the front case cap before attaching the hose.

4. Position the unit - fully submerge your PP unit.
Place it on a level and sturdy surface at the bottom of
your pond, this is to avoid silt entering the pump
causing excessive wear and increasing pump cage
cleaning. If you have a pond liner, use the provided
suction cups.
5. Connect your PP pump to the mains - Connect the unit to the mains using a
residual current device (RCD) for additional safety.
6. Switch on your unit at the mains - turn on the operation by switching on the
unit at the
mains.

MAINTENANCE
To ensure optimal performance and that your unit functions correctly, regular
maintenance is essential. Failure to do so may result in damage to your unit and
may invalidate your warranty.
We recommend that a regular cleaning and maintenance schedule is followed
to ensure responsible fishkeeping. Depending on water volume and stocking
levels, regular cleaning of the impeller and inlet/outlet pipework will help
ensure that the product works efficiently and your pond remains healthy.

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 PP unit.
Front cover - can be removed by gently depressing
the push clips located on either side. Wash through
the cover to remove any debris.
It is vital that O-rings are regularly inspected and replaced as the rubber
watertight seal will perish over time, which may cause your unit to leak. Before
replacing your o-rings, ensure they are well lubricated to ensure the seal is
kept water tight.
O-rings
Impeller - unscrew a single screw fixing located on
top of the impeller cover. Turn it anti-clockwise and
pull away from the body.

The impeller can then be gently pulled away from the housing and inspected
for damage. Clear the fittings and parts of any waste build-up.
Reassemble the unit. Ensure the O-rings are in place to avoid leakage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Slow Flow RateSlow 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 pipe work 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.
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.
