FILTRATION & WATERFALL PUMP
INSTRUCTIONS
• The Pumps have intelligent circuitry analysing the
speed and torque of the motor. It will increase and
decrease the energy usage to maximise eciency
and flow. The soft start nature of the system helps to
avoid sudden pressure surges causing pipes to blow
o. If the Impellor gets jammed or stops, the circuitry
will sense the problem and cut power automatically.
This procedure will repeat 3 times. If the impellor is
still jammed it will activate a prolonged low state till
the pump is turned o and adequate maintenance
is carried out. This minimises motor burnout due to
electrical heat through lack of water flow through to
the motor.
• The motor and electrical components are totally
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.
• AQUAPRO Filtration & Waterfall Pumps are
continuous rated therefore designed to be heavy-duty
and operate 24/7.
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should
be observed including, but not limited to the following:
• The pump should only be used in clean water. Do
not use the pump in any solvent or gasoline that is
flammable.
• Any damage of the equipment or unmerited
operation will result in potential injury. If there is any
damage to the equipment, it must not to be used. The
equipment should be placed out of reach of children.
• For your own safety, disconnect from the power
supply before any maintenance of any equipment is
attempted on the tank or water body.
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in
the water. The depth should not exceed 2m.
• Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any
components of the system, such as the power cable,
have been damaged.
• Always use a properly grounded power supply that is
connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS
3350.2.41:1997
• To avoid an electric shock do not attach the plug
to the power supply socket with wet hands. On
installation the drip loop method should be used to
prevent water from traveling down the cable and
onto the plug or power supply. If the plug does get
wet do not unplug the cable. Immediately disconnect
the circuit breaker that supplies power to the power
supply point. Then unplug and examine the plug, and
power supply point, for the presence of water. If the
power point has become wet you should consult an
electrician before using the power point again.
• Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your
warranty.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not
use in water above 35°C.
• Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so
that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
• Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance
yourself. Return to an authorised service centre
or place of purchase if a fault occurs. Regular
maintenance is not considered repair and is required
by user.

PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS
INSTALLATION - FILTER & WATERFALL PLUMBING GUIDE
• The pump is designed to be used in a Fresh water Garden pond. It is not to be used in any other manner or purpose.
• AQUAPRO Filtration & Waterfall Pumps are cooled by water flowing through the inside of the motor body. If the
pump flow becomes restricted it will overheat and could cause permanent damage.
• The pump needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the pump becoming blocked, thus causing the pump to
overheat and burn out. This is not a warrantable event. It is strongly recommended to select an appropriate sized
pump for the pump the job required. The flow rate through the pump needs to be strong enough so half of the
rated max flow is kept running at all times.
• When used to supply water to a Biological filter, cascade, waterfall, ect; where a pipe is needed to be used, use
the hosetails supplied in the package. For best results, use the tubing size recommended in the table under
specifications at the beginning of this manual. Bigger tube size is always better depending on the pump flow rate.
• Select the hosetail required for your tubing size and evaluate which step on the hosetail will be used. If you are
using 32mm hose and you are connecting it to the 40mm\32mm\25mm hosetail supplied, remember to saw o
the smaller size connection (I.E.: 25mm step). Otherwise it will create a unnecessary restriction in the plumbing
system.
• A omni-directional ball joint is provided for your convenience when used under water. Select the hosetail. Locate
the O’ring washer and the locking nut of the hosetail. Slide the O’ring, then the locking nut over the hosetail,
connect the threaded locking nut to the hosetail and screw in firmly. Now connect the adaptor to the pump outlet.
• Now connect the tubing to the hosetail. Remember to use Stainless Steel hose clamps to fasten the hose on to
the hosetail. This is to ensure the pipe does not blow o at a later time or leak at this point in the plumbing system.
Direct the hose in your desired direction. Connect tubing to the outlet.
• Place the pump in desired location. Ensure the pump is on a stable surface free of sludge, sand, and other debris.
Do not place the pump directly on the pond floor or in mud. It is recommended to place the pump on a raised
surface.

FILTRATION & WATERFALL PUMP
INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean the housing and pump with a suitable brush taking care to clean o sludge, algae and debris.
• To maintain the impellor of the pump turn the Impellor Cover in an anti-clockwise direction as indicated by the
arrow to the stop position. Then separate the impellor cover from the pump motor body.
• Lift out the impellor assembly. Take care not to break ceramic shaft. The black disc behind the blades is part of
the entire impellor assembly. Clean the impellor with clean water and a suitable brush taking note to remove fine
sediment on and around the back end of the impellor including the small hole through the ceramic shaft if it has
one. Replace the impellor if necessary.
• Ensure to replace the O’ring in the correct place shown in the picture when reassembling the unit.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Begin by ensuring mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit or the water body. Remove the unit from the water. If your unit is connected to a filter, the filters and
sponges will clog up over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure
to maintain the unit will result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
• All AQUAPRO Filtration & Waterfall Pumps are water cooled. If pump becomes restricted, or blocked, it will
overheat and could cause permanent damage. When the flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if necessary.
• The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. Regular inspections,
cleaning and maintenance of impellor is necessary to ensure longer life. In the centre of the impellor you may
notice a small hole opening through the ceramic shaft from front to back. It is paramount this portal is kept
unblocked at all times. This is a cooling channel for the motor.
• It is important to ensure maintenance is carried out regularly as the cooling path inside the motor will become
clogged. If the impellor assembly becomes worn or damaged it should be replaced (available from your dealer
or special orders). Failure to do so may cause serious damage to pump. Inspect for signs for wear and tear. The
impellor set is a wearing consumable part.
• Once the cleaning and inspection process is completed, reassemble in the reverse manner. Reinstall the impellor
into the motor body. To place the Impellor O’ring around the black disc successfully, firmly hold the disc with
one hand and using the other hand, stretch the O’ring over the disc positioning it carefully into the groove. Pay
attention not to allow the O’ring (4) to roll forward in-between the black disc and the motor body. With the
impellor in the correct position carefully place the impellor cover back on and then rotate clockwise back into
position.
• For instructions for cleaning of optional Bio-filters check the website for further information. You can help boost
the biological function of your filtration with a bacterial additive available from your local stockist.
