performance garden water pump ideal for ponds,
large fountains, waterfalls, streams and external
ltration. It uses a large debris strainer that fully

and maintance very easy. The ViaAqua®Multi-Duty
Pond PumpTM includes complete fountain head kits
and attachments to operate the pump submersibly.
WARNING AND SAFEGUARD
WARNING
»This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/
or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash you hand after handling the product.
»It is your sole responsability to verify that the plug and receptacle are clean/free of
moisture and salt build up at all times. The receptacle must be free of water, salt, calcium,
and magnesium. Failure to do so may cause re and/or loss of life.
»Do not plug into an extension cord or power strip.
»A drip loop must be used when plug into any electrical devices. A drip loop is part of the
cord hanging below the receptacle.
»The national code requires all aquarium equipment to be plugged into a G.F.C.I. (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical outlet. If you do not have a G.F.C.I., have an electrician
install one prior to operating any aquarium components.
1. Read and follow all instructions before using the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM to
ensure proper use and application.
2. Use this product for its intended use only.
3. Do not operate the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM without being submersed in water at
all times or permanent damage maybe caused to the pump.
4. Prior to maintenance on any electrical aquarium appliance or aquarium, you must disconnect
all electrical aquarium devices.
5. Never operate the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM with an electronic wavemaker or
an on/off timing device. Such devices will cause permanent damage to the pump and/or
demagnetize the impeller.
6. Routine maintenance is required to ensure the maximum performance and the longevity of
the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM. See maintenance guidelines.
7. The use of a surge suppressor is strongly recommended.
8. Verify that the pump size is appropiate for your specic application without dramatically

-3-
restricting the water ow. Consult with your local dealer or
manufacture’s guidelines for the pump size needed for your
specic application.
9. Do not reduce the input or output diameter of the pump.
10. Do not reduce the intake or output tubing size.
11. You must incorporate the pre-lter when operation is for water
circulation, waterfalls, ponds and fountains.
12. Replace the impeller if there are any signs of damage or excess
wear.
13. Failure to maintain the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM will
cause permanent damage to the impeller and/or pump. Routine
maintenance is of the utmost importance to keep your pump
working well.
14. Never yank/pull the pump by the cord. This will cause the pump to
fail prematurely and/or cause electrical shock.
15. Due to the extreme conditions of the pond environment, frequent
cleaning of the pre-lter and pump is required. The pump will fail
prematurely if the intake becomes clogged.
16. You must verify that the G.F.C.I. electrical outlet is free of water,
calcium and magnesium deposits and/or moisture at all times. This will cause electrical
arching resulting in re or electrical shock.
17. When operating the ViaAqua®Multi-Duty Pond PumpTM inside a pond or a fountain, a large
pre-lter must be used. Failure to use the pre-lter will cause damage to the impeller and/
or pump.
