The pump is electrically operated and is designed to pump
solid particles up to 10mm in diameter with minimal pre-
strainer maintenance. These types of pumps are particularly
suitable for pumping water to external filters or for use in
high flow waterfalls or watercourse applications where low
maintenance is important. The pump does not use oil or
grease for lubrication and can be used safely in ponds
containing fish or plants. The motor consists of a sealed
stator and water-cooled rotor. All electrical components are
isolated from the water.
ATTENTION
AUTOMATIC CUT-OUT
To help ensure your pump’s long life and to prevent
damage, it is fitted with automatic thermal overload
protection. This switches off the pump if it overheats. If
this occurs, switch off the power at the mains supply to
the pump. Check for the cause. Usually it will be debris
blocking the inlets of the pump or obstructing the
impeller. Remove the obstruction and wait for the pump
to cool down. Then switch on the pump again.
Failure to observe the following notices may result in
injury, product damage or loss of sh.

Amphibious operation

Note:
For the 6000 & 8000 pump the adaptor
should be orientated with the outlet
at the bottom of the cage (fig 5).
For the 12000 & 15000 pumps, the
adaptor should be orientated with the
outlet towards the top of the cage (Fig
5).
6. Locate the mains supply cable into
the recess on the side of the cage.
Ensure it is seated in the correct
position so that the cable does not get
trapped when the cage is closed. (Fig
6).
7. Close the cage lid ensuring that the
end cap (Fig 1 – g) is in its correct
position and secure by pressing in the
centre of the clips (Fig 7).

ASSEMBLY
1. Open the clips at either end of the
strainer cage (Fig 1 – f) and open the
cage.
2. Remove the Wildlife Protection
system (Fig 1 – a).
3. Remove & unpack the ball joint,
hosetails & Flow control (Fig 1–d, e &
h).
4.Remove the mains supply cable and
unwind.
5. Ensure that the outlet of the pump
is secured to the outlet adaptor (Fig 1
– c). Locate the pump onto its
mounting area ensuring that the
adaptor piece slots into the location
ribs in the front of the lower cage (Fig
4).
Pump Assembly & Installation

10. Screw the hosetail directly onto the
outlet boss of the ball joint (Fig 10).
The ball joint can be rotated to allow
the hose to be directed away from the
pump.
Position
11. For the best results, the pump
should be positioned in the deepest
part of the pond at least 200mm under
the surface. This will ensure the best
circulation of water in the pond and
when being used as a filtration pump,
its solids handling capability will be
maximised.
For best results, the pump should not
be placed directly on the bottom of
the pond. We recommend that the
pump be installed on a flat level
platform which is raised approximately
300mm from bottom of pond. This will
prevent the pump sucking dirt directly
from the bottom of the pond and will
also ensure that sufficient water
remains in the pond in the event of
accidental leakage of pond water (See
fig 11).
300mm
Wildlife Protection System (WPS)
12. If you have fish or other wildlife in
your pond, there are periods in the
year during which they may breed. At
this time the fish ‘fry’ are small and
can be sucked into the pump. To
minimise this possibility, the Aquaforce
range of pumps has a unique Wildlife
Protection System (WPS), which
reduces the inlet strainer hole size
down to 2mm at this critical time in
fishes’ life cycle. To use this feature,
locate the WPS’s 4 legs into the
corresponding area in the lower cage
as shown in Fig 12 ensuring that the
WPS is the correct way round. Close
the top of the cage and secure the
clips. Whilst the WPS is in use, you may
need to unblock the Strainer Cage
more frequently. Once the fish or
other wildlife have grown to a
sufficient size you can then remove the
WPS from your pump’s cage and
return the strainer size to its maximum
10mm size.
9. Using small bore hoses leads to
excessive restriction of the water flow.
The larger the diameter of hose that
you use the better the performance of
the pump will be, especially over long
hose runs. The hosetail supplied with
this unit will accommodate 25mm (1"),
32mm (1.25") and 40mm (1.6") hose as
well a ¾” BSP screw thread for
attaching fountain accessories. We
would always recommend that on
pumps of this size, that the 40mm
diameter hose should be used when
using the pump as a waterfall pump or
in combination with a filter (Fig 2 & 3).
Once you have selected the hose
diameter you wish to use, cut the steps
off the hosetail which are smaller than
the hose diameter to eliminate
restriction (Fig 9). Attach a suitable
length hose to the hosetail and secure
with a suitable hose clip and position
the outlet end of the hose in the
desired position.

9. To use a second inlet connect a
suitable length of hose to a hosetail
which has been cut to a suitable
diameter and screw to the free end of
the flow control in place of the end
cap (Fig 15).
10. The other end of the hose can be
connected to a satellite filter (Fig 16)
(available as a spare from Hozelock) or
to a skimmer (Fig 17).
11. By rotating the grip of the flow
control, the amount of water coming
through the satellite filter or skimmer
can be varied.
16
17
15
The flow Control (Fig 1 - h) can vary
the amount of water entering the
pump. Alternatively, it can be used to
connect a second inlet to the pump
such as a satellite filter or a skimmer.
Do not use the flow control when the
pump is being used amphibiously.
1. Open the cage and remove the end
cap (Fig 1 - g).
2. Close the flow control by rotating
the outer part until the arrows are
aligned.
3. Firmly screw the flow control to the
inlet of the pump aligning the arrows
on the flow control with the arrow in
the centre of the top of the pump
chamber (Fig 13).
4. Locate the pump into the cage.
Ensure that the slots in the outlet
adaptor align with the ribs in the
lower cage and that the grip of the
flow control is on the outside of the
cage (Fig 4).
Using The Flow Control
5. To use as a flow control, screw the
end cap to the free end of the flow
control.
6. Rotate the grip to the desired
position. This varies the opening size
on the flow control. The arrow on the
grip aligns with the pointer on the
outside of the top cage.
When the pointed end of the arrow is
aligned with the pointer on the
outside of the filter cage, this indicates
minimum flow. When the wide end of
the arrow is aligned with the pointer,
this indicates maximum flow (See fig
14).
7. Locate the cable into its recess (See
point 6 under Submerged Operation),
close the cage lid and secure the clips.
8. This allows you to reduce the flow
of water to your filter and control the
waterfall size.

- AMPHIBIOUS
This pump can be used amphibiously
(i.e. it can be used whilst not
submerged).
WARNING! Ensure that the unit does
not take in air or run dry otherwise
your pump will be damaged!
NOTE: This pump does not self prime.
The suction hose and pump must be
filled with water before switching on.
1. Open the clips at either end of the
strainer cage, open the cage, and
remove all the contents.
2. Unscrew the outlet adaptor from
the pump outlet and locate it into the
ribs in the lower cage (Fig 18)
3. Place the pump under the surface of
the water near the side of the pond to
allow water to flow into the pumping
chamber (Fig 19).
6. Fix the outlet hose to the pump
outlet by screwing on the hosetail.
Ensure a watertight seal using the
washer provided (Fig 21).
7. Check that the pump chamber and
hose are full of water and switch on
the pump. The pump can now be
removed from the water to it’s
amphibious operating location
ensuring that the inlet end of the hose
remains submerged.
8. To prevent the pump becoming
clogged, connect the cage to the inlet
end of the inlet hose using another
hosetail.
9. When using the pump amphibiously,
protect the pump from direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight may overheat the
motor.
10. The ball joint is not designed to be
used out of water.
Pump Installation
4. Cut 2 hosetails to the required size
(See point 9 under Submerged
Operation). Attach a suitable length
hose to each hosetail and secure with
suitable hose clips.
5. Submerge the inlet hose under the
surface of the water ensuring that the
complete hose fills. Screw the hosetail
to the inlet of the pump ensuring a
watertight seal using the washer
provided (Fig 20).

Maintenance
The Hozelock Cyprio range of
Aquaforce pumps have been designed
to allow fast and easy maintenance. To
prolong the life of your pump and
keep your pump in peak condition,
you should follow these maintenance
guidelines.
Caution: Always unplug or disconnect
ALL appliances in the pond from the
electricity supply before putting your
hands in the water or starting
maintenance.
1. When the pump is newly installed,
you should check your pump daily that
it is performing correctly.
2. If you notice a drop in performance
(low flow) you should clean the
strainer cage. Cleaning intervals will
vary depending on the condition of
your pond’s water. This could be as
often as weekly in the summer
months. To clean the strainer cage,
open the clips and remove the pump.
The cage can then be wiped clean of
debris blocking the strainer holes and
washed in clean water. You should
also check that the pump chamber &
rotor are not blocked with debris.
3. At least once a year you should
completely disassemble the pump
including the rotor assembly as
described below and wash all
components in clean, fresh water.
Replace worn or broken parts.
