READ AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Register your purchase on-line
at www.pet-mate.com/uk (see
guarantee overleaf).
• All electrical work must be carried out
by a competent electrician.
• Check that the voltage label on the
motor (H) (see Fig. 1) conforms with
your supply voltage.
• The pump MUST be wired into an
R.C.D./G.F.I. circuit breaker
(maximum 30mA) and a 3 AMP
(maximum) fuse. Ensure breaker is
regularly tested in accordance with
manufacturers instructions.
• Connection to the power supply
should be made through a CE
approved weatherproof outdoor
socket or double pole switched
enclosure with minimum 3mm (1/8”)
contact separation in all poles. If
product is hard wired to electrical
supply this must comply fully with the
wiring regulations of the national and
local electricity authority. The pump
must be protected by a 3 AMP
(maximum) fuse.
• This appliance must be earthed. It is
essential that all connections are
securely made using the following
code:
Brown - Live
Blue - Neutral
Green/Yellow - Earth
• Do not carry or pull the pump using
the supply cord.
• Disconnect electrical supply from all
appliances in the pond including
pumps and filters before contact with
the pond water or pump.
• Closely supervise children when near
to pond or pond equipment.
• Use pump only for ponds - do not use
pump in connection with swimming
pools, showers, etc.
• Use conduit approved by your
electricity authority to protect supply
cord where damage from gardening
equipment, children and animals may
occur.
• Discard pump if motor (H) shows
visual defects (e.g. cracks or
swelling).
• The supply cord of this appliance
cannot be replaced; if the cord is
damaged the appliance should be
discarded.
• Do not allow the pump to run dry.
• Do not operate the pump in freezing
conditions. Remove, disassemble and
dry pump if there is a risk of pump
being frozen.
• This pump is provided with a thermal
cut-out switch that temporarily
switches off the pump in case of
overheating. The pump may restart
when it has cooled.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
1. PUMP INSTALLATION
For convenience the pump should be positioned within
reach from the side of the pond on a solid platform (e.g.
paving slabs) approximately 250mm (10") below the pond
surface. The pump should be at least 200mm (8") below
water level
to avoid problems of freezing and low water levels in
summer and no more than 1000mm (40") deep.
Only use pump if completely immersed in water.
A. Waterfall/Filter Only
For use with a pond filter you will often get improved results
with the pump sited at the opposite end of the pond to the
filter return.
The pump may be connected to a waterfall or filter using
12mm (1/2"), 19mm (3/4") or 25mm (1") bore hose. Fit
suitable outlet adapter (K) and flow valve (L) into pump
outlet (J). Insert adapter (P) if required and connect hose
to required outlet (see Fig 2c). Insert plug (Q) in unused
outlet and adjust flow using the flow control knob (M).
B. Fountain (and Waterfall/Filter)
Insert fountain components as shown in Fig. 2a
(conventional fountain) / 2b (bell fountain). If required
tubes (R) and (T) may be shortened with a hacksaw. Also
fountain (W) may be fitted directly to flow valve (N). For
plume fountain do not fit any parts to tube (T). If required,
connect waterfall/filter with hose to outlet (O) or (P).
Alternatively, use blanking plug (Q). The Fountain heads
(V) may be unscrewed anticlockwise for cleaning. Adjust
fountain height/width using the flow control (M) turning
clockwise for increased height. If using the bell fountain
you will also need to manually adjust the gap between
parts (W) and (X) for the required effect. (Try starting with
approximately 1mm (1/16”) gap.)
2. MAINTENANCE / FAULT FINDING - IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Disconnect electrical supply from pump before
removing from pond or contacting pond water.
• Do not carry or pull the pump by the cable.
A. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OR WHEN FLOW FROM
YOUR PUMP IS NOTICEABLY REDUCED OR
FOUNTAIN DISPLAY HAS DETERIORATED:
i) Remove strainer cover (A) as shown by arrows 1 and
2 in Fig. 1. Clean strainer covers (A) and (H) using a stiff
brush.
ii) Check and remove any obstruction to inlet on impeller
cover (B).
iii) Remove and clean fountain head in water with a brush.
iv) Reassemble, taking care to align cut out in top of cover (A)
with grooves (I).
IMPORTANT
If flow is still poor check:
• Flow control (M) is correctly set.
• No blockage or kinks in outlet hose.
B. ONCE A YEAR OR IF FLOW IS STOPPED (CHECK
POWER SUPPLY FIRST!):
Completely disassemble pump to the component parts
shown in Fig. 1 as follows:
i) Disconnect all items fitted to pump outlet (J).
ii) Remove strainer cover (A) as shown in Fig. 1.
iii) Remove impeller cover (B) by rotating anticlockwise. If
required, pliers can be used as shown in Fig. 3.
iv) Carefully pull out pump impeller assembly (E) then (F).
v) After cleaning of all components:
• Check cable and pump body (G) for any damage or
deterioration and discard pump if suspected faulty.
• Check for wear of impeller (E) on shaft (F) and condition
of seal (C), rubber bushes (D1) and (D2). Replace with
new parts using the appropriate FISH MATE service kit
as required.
Carefully reassemble as follows:
vi) Locate shaft (F) into rubber bush (D2) inside pump body
(G).
vii) Carefully and slowly slide impeller assembly (E) on to
shaft (F) to avoid damage from the powerful magnet.
viii)Lubricate rubber bush (D1) by immersing in water and
then push halfway on to the end of shaft (F). Align impeller
cover (B) before pushing on fully and rotating clockwise
into position.
ix) Refit front cover (A) taking care to align cut out with
grooves (I).
