The power supply must meet the specification of the product.
Inpond Pump & UVC
The electric cables are permanently connected and sealed in the motor body and UVC
lamp holder. If the supply cable of the pump or UVC is damaged, the part must not be used
The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped
Do not use the supply cable of the pump or UVC to lift the filter as this may cause damage.
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to the regulations
of the local electricity authority ad this would include the use of a metal or plastic conduit to
protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning the installation
of your pond pump and UVC (i.e. local building regulations).
These pump and UVC units must not be used in swimming pools or areas where people are
in contact with the water.
Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being installed,
repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt about wiring
this product to the main supply.
WARNING - All Inpond models must be used with an RCD
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also known as the Residual Current Circuit
Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA must be installed
in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a separation of at least
3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Warning - The inpond pump is provided with a thermal cut out that
temporarily switches of the pump in case of overheating and the pump may
automatically restart.
UVC warning – Dangerous Ultra Violet Radiation. The rays from the UVC lamp
are harmful to eyes and skin.
Always turn off the UVC electrical supply before any maintenance.
To protect the UVC starter, never immerse in water. Locate the UVC starter
a minimum of 1 metre from the pond edge.

UVC Lamps & quartz sleeve maintenance
The UVC lamp must be replaced every 6 months / once a season. It is recommended that
the lamp is replaced in the spring.
The quartz sleeve can become covered in lime scale build up in hard water areas.
This should be carefully removed from the quartz sleeve and cleaned with a soft cloth.
A wet test must be carried out after maintenance to ensure there are no leaks before the
UVC is reconnected to the power supply.
Wet testing the UVC
Testing/replacing the UVC lamp
See Page 7 for illustration
1. Unlock the green UVC electronics cap.
2. Inspect the UVC cap and Quartz sleeve for water leaks.
3. Then unlock the yellow quartz sleeve end cap and unplug the lamp to replace if desired.
4. If there are no signs of leakage reverse the procedure ensuring that the quartz sleeve
O-ring is in place.
5. Ensure the yellow quartz sleeve cap and the green UVC electronics cap are firmly
secured by making sure the two locked positions are in direct line of each other.
See alignment diagram (5a).
Warning - 1) Always turn off the power before any maintenance to the UVC
section, 2) Always view the UVC lamp through the viewing window on the UVC
Chamber, 3) Direct exposure to UVC light can damage your eyes and skin.
Caution - The inpond UVC has been fitted with a magnetic safety switch. 1) Do not
remove unit with power turned on, 2) Do not place near strong magnetic fields.
IMPORTANT - A wet test of the UVC under operating conditions must be carried out
before the UVC or electrical supply is installed. Connect the UVC to the inpond follow-
ing all installation instructions. After running for 24 hours check for leaks.
IMPORTANT - Ensure that the mains supply is switched off and the power is isolated
before removing the UVC cover.

LED Automatic Photo Sensor (3000, 6000, 9000 only)
Detects when light levels are low/dusk
The LED automatic sensor is positioned on top of the motor body between the outlet and the
lamp. Ensure this is kept clean from dirt and algae as it needs sufficient light to activate correctly.
This extremely efficient lamp uses less than 1 watt of electricity which automatically turns on at
dusk and off at dawn

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Annual maintenance of the filter
Check for wear. Once a year you should dismantle your inpond. Dismantle the filter
examining all the parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts showing obvious signs of
wear and or damage. (see getting to know your inpond for replacement codes and part
descriptions.)
Annual maintenance of the pump
Check for wear. Once a year you should service your pump. Dismantle the pump and
examine all parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts showing obvious signs of wear
and or damage. (see getting to know your inpond for replacement codes and part descrip-
tions.) Particular care should be taken to examine the cable entry points.
Annual maintenance of the UVC
Check for wear. Once a year you should dismantle your inpond UVC. Ensure you have
disconnected the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Dismantle
the UVC and examine all parts for wear and damage, replacing any parts showing obvious
signs of wear and/or damage (see getting to know your inpond for replacement codes and
part descriptions.) The UVC lamps require replacing annually, ideally in the spring.
Winter Storage
The inpond can be run in the pond during the winter, but care should be taken to ensure that
tit is fullt immersed and cannot freeze solid. If the inpond is not used duting the winter follow
the annual maintenance procedure above, and store in a frost-free area such as a garage
until spring.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Inpond Filter
Cloudy/brown water
•Check that you have correctly calculated the pond volume, pond depth and the ponds
levels of direct sunlight. See page 4 for inpond sizing table. You may require a larger
inpond model from the range. Adding shade to the pond by introducing lilies and
floating plants to the water surface will reduce pond sludge. Planting the pond with
marginal plants will also help create a balance. News ponds mat require some time to
establish and create a healthy balance.
•The filter is not being supplied with water 24 hours a day. Do not turn off your inpond
filter. Continuous running is needed to maintain a clean and healthy pond.
•The filter foam pads are insufficiently blocked to trap the fine waste particles. Do not
clean the foams or replace the polymer wool pad until they are partially blocked.
•The water is extremely dirty, remove pond waste and leaves – carry out a partial water
change.
•The filter foams have not been positioned or replaced correctly, ensure that the foams
fit tightly within the chamber.
UVC leaks
•Check that the O-ring has been correctly assembled.
•Check that the UVC cap is correctly locked with the yellow quartz sleeve section.
Arrows on both caps should be correctly aligned when fitted. See page 7 on how to
correctly install and remove the UVC section.
Inpond Pump
Low flow from pump
1. Follow routine cleaning procedure, if no improvement, follow annual maintenance procedure.
2. Ensure pipework is not blocked, leaking or laid so that it gets crushed or kinked.
3. 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.
4. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest distance and
keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss of flow and so increases
pump flow rates.
16

TROUBLESHOOTING
Poor Fountain performance
• Reduced height.
• Jets blocked.
Clean flow adjusters and fountain head.
Wash under a tap or hose. Lime scale
remover should be used to remove lime
scale build-up/waste for improved results.
No flow from pump
1. Check power supply is on.
2. Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Follow low flow procedures.
If none of the above works contact Consumer Advice Department
(See Faults problem procedure Page 18).
Green water
• Settlement test the water to ensure there is no sediment suspended in the water.
If there is, follow the brown cloudy water troubleshooting guide.
• In order to check that the UVC lamp is operating: Open the filter unit, remove the foams
and cartridge. Positioned on top of the yellow UVC contact chamber will be a round
viewing window where you should see a faint blue light. This operation may need to
be carried out at dusk as UVC lamps emit a dim blue light under normal operation.
Turning the lamp on and off may aid visual identification. (Ensure the UVC lamp is not
more that 6 months old)
• The UVC may be working effectively but the filter foam/media is too clean and is
unable to remove the fine coagulated waste.
• The filter is too small for the pond, check you filter selection chart.
• The UVC quartz sleeve is dirty or coated in lime scale, gently remove the quartz sleeve
and clean.
• Follow all cloudy water troubleshooting points.
