OWNER’S MANUAL
FP-SERIES FOUNTAIN PUMPS
Introduction
The pumps are carefully inspected and tested to ensure both safety and operating performance.
However, failure to follow the instructions and warnings in this manual may result in pump’s
damage and/or serious injury. Be sure to read and save this manual for future reference.
Important!
The plug and the socket must not come in to contact with the water
If their is a problem with electrical supply to the pump resulting in its failure to operate, ensure it is
checked and repaired if necessary by a qualied electrician. Ensure the electrical cable loops below the
electrical supply to form a“Drip Loop”. The pump must be fully immersed in water when it is used, since dry
running can cause it to fail. Before the turning on the power ensure the pump is totally immersed in water.
Ensure that the electrical cable does not lie across pathways so that people do not trip on them.
Never leave the pump unattended during use if there are children nearby. Unplug the mains power when
the pump is not in use. Product is designed for use indoors or outdoors.
The cable cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged the device must be discarded.
IF THE PUMP CEASES TO FUNCTION, CHECK FOLLOWING:
• Check the switch/circuit breaker and try another socket in order to check that the pump has electricity
supply. N.B.: Always disconnect the power before handling the pump.
• Check that the hoses or the outow are not blocked. A garden hose can be used to ush out any algae.
• Check the lter inlet and clear possible dirt.
• Remove the pump inlet in order to come to the rotor. Check that it is not broken or blocked.
If the pump is maintained monthly the length of life will be extended.
N.B.: Ensure that a part of the cable hangs lower than the socket. This prevents water running down
the cable into the socket.
WINTER MONTHS
• Protect your pump against frost.
• Take your pump from the water for the frost period.
• Clean the pump when necessary as previously described in the directions for use.
• Keep your pump, for example, in a bucket of water or a frost-free place so they can freeze or dry out.

CAUTION!
The power must be disconnected before the pump is handled.
The pump must be entirely immersed in water when it is used.
The pump must never be lifted by the cable.
Hot uid must never be pumped (maximum 30° C).
Only fresh water may be pumped.
The pump must not be operated without the supplied pump cage
Only turn on mains power once pump is in position
USE
A clogged or dirty intake will put a strain on the motor and greatly reduce the pump’s performance.
If the base on which the pump is to be stood is very dirty, raising the pump slightly will reduce the
amount of debris surrounding the intake of the pump. If decreased ow is desired this can be adjusted
with the control on the side of the pump or through limiting the outow.
The pump should not be used when it is not immersed in water since it can be damaged.
Only connect the power once immersed in water. When rst installed there may be air trapped in the
pump and tubing, this can be dispersed by turning the pump on and o several times
MAINTENANCE
To clean the pump remove the impellor housing and impellor. Use clean water and a small brush to
remove debris. Never use harsh cleaners or chemical solutions for cleaning the pump (this may cause
permanent damage)
OBSERVE: It is not possible to remove the axle.
Maintainance
Use only fresh water in this pump.
Little maintainance is necessary if the pump is used according to the instructions in this manual.
If dirt builds up in the intake, rinse using running water but remember to always unplug from the
power rst. A 30mA (or less) Residual Current Device (RCD) must be tted to the mains supply.
Warning!
• Never connect to a power supply with dierent voltage and current than that stated on the pump's label.
• Never pump ammable uids through the pump.
• National electrical regulations require that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is used in
direct connection to equipment that is used in water. See your electrical supplies outlet for this device
• Do not use the pump in waters that exceed 30°.
