Important
The outlet hose should be smooth bore (not corrugated) pipe installed over as short a
distance as possible with no kinks or bends.
Connecting a feature
hose
The recommended hose size is 1/2”
for your Inpond. It is not essential but
if the fit is not tight a 1/2” jubilee
clip can be used to secure the hose.
Warming the hose in a bucket of
boiling water can aid fitting.
Use the shortest possible hose lengths
to minimise flow restrictions.
Avoid folds and kinks in the hose,
as this will restrict the pipe, reducing
pump flow and filter performance.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
IMPORTANT - Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the pump
under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods will result in a shorter
pump life and will invalidate the guarantee.
Routine Maintenance
Reduced fountain or feature flow indicates that the filter is blocked and needs cleaning.
The filter foam may be cleaned vigorously in a bucket of water as required. The polymer
wool pad should be replaced if blocked.

Polymer wool cartridge
Replacement packs of polymer wool are available from your retailer and are quick and easy
to replace.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Annual maintenance of the filter
Check for wear. Once a year you should dismantle your Inpond. Dismantle the filter examin-
ing all the parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts showing obvious signs of wear
and/or damage (see getting to know your filter for replacement codes and parts descrip-
tions on pages 3 and 4)
Annual maintenance of the pump
Check for wear. Once a year you should service your pump. Dismantle pump and examine
all parts for wear or damage, replacing any parts that show obvious wear and/or damage
(see getting to know your Inpond for parts/description and replacement codes). 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 - see page 8. Ensure
you have disconnected the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Dismantle the UVC examine all the parts for wear and damage, replacing any parts that
show obvious signs of wear and damage (see getting to know your Inpond for parts/
description and replacement codes). 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
it is fully immersed and cannot freeze solid. If the Inpond is not used during the winter follow
the annual maintenance procedure and store frost-free in the house or garage until spring.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Inpond Filter
Cloudy/brown water
• Check that you have correctly calculated the pond volume, pond depth and if the
ponds level of direct sunlight. See page 4 for inpond sizing table.
You may require a larger inpond model in 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. New ponds
may 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.
Continuous running is needed to maintain a clean and healthy pond.
• The filter foam pads are insufficiently blocked to trap the fine waste. Do not clean the
foams or replace the polymer wool pad until they partially block.
• The water is extremely dirty, remove pond waste and leaves - carry out a partial water
change.
• Filter is incorrectly sized - refer to filter performance and specification chart - see page 4.
• The filter foams have not been positioned or replaced correctly, ensure that the foams fit
tightly within the filter chamber.
UVC leaks
• Check that the UVC 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 8 on how to
correctly install and remove UVC section.
Inpond Pump
Problem
Low flow from pump
1. Follow routine cleaning procedure if no improvement.
2. Follow monthly cleaning procedure.
3. Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed or kinked.
4. 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.
