instruction concerning use of the appliance and understand the hazards
involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Any maintenance must not
be made by children without supervision.

ELECTRIC
This unit comes complete with a generous supply of 3 core cable, however
should any additional cable be required, the use of an approved waterproof
cable connector with a proper rating is essential. A cord rated for less amperes
or watts than the appliance rating may overheat.
Please Ensure:
· The power supply must be earthed and fused at 3amps.
· You regularly inspect the cable for damage and deterioration.
· Do not connect to any voltage other than that stated.
· You consult a qualified electrician if in doubt about any aspects of
wiring.
· A residential current device (RCD) is used for additional safety
· You have complied with Local Electricity Authority regulations if
permanently installing to the mains supply.
Please Ensure: The power supply must be earthed and fused at 3amps.
Regularly inspect the cable for damage and deterioration. Consult a qualified
electrician if in doubt about any aspects of wiring.

The All Pond Solutions FPP pump range is designed to be used with the
included fountain kit as a standalone system within a pond but 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 - Choose the required
fountain attachments.
2. Position the unit - fully submerge
your FPP 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 guard cleaning.
3. Adjust the fountain head - make sure it is above surface of the pond. Adjust
the extendable pipe until desired height has been achieved.
IMPORTANT! Ensure that the pump’s fountain does not empty water out of
pond.
4. When installing your FPP as a standard water pump connect your outlet pipe
using a clamp / bracket and ensure this is tight and secure. The included
hosetail is designed to fit 20-40mm hose.
If not using the fountain connect your outlet pipe to either your filter, water
feature or alternative location.
5. Connect your FPP 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.
INSTALLATION & USE

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.
For further maintenance guidance, please see the table and additional

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.

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.
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.
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.

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 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.
Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called
Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the
more wear on the pump.
5. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest

4. The higher the head ( the height that water is to be pumped from the water
surface) the lower the flow rate and the more wear on the pump so try to keep
it to a minimum.
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
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.
Poor Fountain Performance
1. Reduced height - extend the fountain attachment.
2. Lime scale / waste build up - clean flow adjusters and fountain head.
3. Waste blockage - remember to keep your unit raised slightly above the
floor level in your pond to help reduce the waste pulling through the filter.

My Unit is Cutting Out
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. Ensure that all O-rings are in place and well lubricated.
3. Locate the impeller and shaft in the pump and inspect for damage and clear
the fittings and parts of any waste build-up.
4. 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
fine and there are two rubber grommets fitted on each end of the shaft, or
already inside the fittings, then re-assemble the unit.
If none of the above resolves your issue, or you require spare parts for your
pump, please contact the supplier of your unit.
