QUICKSTART GUIDE

WATERFEATURE PUMPS
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
Your hydropro waterfeature pump has been
manufactured with advanced technology to
provide you with the best quality pump for
your pond or waterfeature.
• hydropro pumps are suitable for use in
many dierent applications including;
fountains, water features, small ponds and
hydroponics.
• Your hydropro pump has a single moving
part (an impellor set) therefore enabling
easy cleaning
and maintenance.
• The motor and electrical components are
encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe
operation under water.
INSTALLATION
1. If required, have a qualified electrician
install weather proof power point near
to the pond or waterfeature, (within the
cable length of the pump).
2. Place the pump in desired location, ensure
the pump is on a stable surface that is
free of sludge, sand and other debris and
connect tubing to the outlet or attach
fountain kit.
3. Ensure pump is submerged then plug in
power cord and switch on.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power cord from the power
supply before performing maintenance.
Never lift the pump by the power cord. The
only serviceable item is the impellor set.
The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated
with epoxy resin and does not need
lubrication.
All hydropro submersible pumps are water
cooled; if pump becomes restricted it
will overheat and could cause permanent
damage. Ensure pump does not become
blocked or restricted.
The power cord cannot be replaced,
if the cord is damaged, the pump must
be discarded.
The impellor set is a wearing consumable
part. Regular inspections, cleaning and
maintenance of impellor is necessary to
ensure longer impellor life.
If the impellor set 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.
1. Disconnect the power cord from the power
supply before performing maintenance.
2. Remove the pump from water, detach
tubing/ fountain kit and remove front cage
from pump.
3. Remove the impellor locking ring/ cover
by either turning anti-clockwise and
pulling out.
4.Gently remove the impellor and shaft, use
long nose pliers if needed. Take care not to
break ceramic shaft (if applicable) because
they are brittle.
5. Clean impellor, checking for any signs of
wear or damage.
6.Reinstall the shaft, and then carefully slide
the impellor onto the shaft. The impellor
will pull itself in by magnetic force, this
is normal. (Take care not to pinch your
fingers).
7. Replace the impellor cover making sure
the shaft is located properly on the
impellor cover.
8.Replace the front cage.
9.Re-attach tubing/fountain kit, submerse in
water, connect to power supply and turn
on.
