READ AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Register your purchase on-line
at www.pet-mate.com/uk (see
guarantee below).
• 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 suitable
dry weatherproofed 3 pin plug 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,

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. We recommend using the foam
filter (B) only if clogging of the fountain head is a major
problem.
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") or 19mm (3/4") bore hose. Fit outlet
adapter (J) and flow valve (K) into pump outlet (I).
Insert adapter (O) if required and connect hose to
required outlet (see Fig 2). Insert plug (P) in unused
outlet and adjust flow using the flow control knob (L).
B. Fountain (and Waterfall/Filter)
Insert fountain components as shown in Fig. 3a
(conventional fountain) / 3b (bell fountain). If required
tube (Q) may be shortened with a hacksaw. For plume
fountain do not fit any parts to tube (Q). If required,
connect waterfall/filter with hose to outlet (N or O).
Alternatively, use blanking plug (P). The Fountain
heads may be unscrewed anticlockwise for cleaning.
Adjust fountain height/width using the flow control (L)
turning clockwise for increased height. If using the bell
fountain you will also need to manually adjust the gap
between parts (T) and (U) 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) and foam filter (B) as
shown by arrow in Fig.1.
ii) Rinse foam filter (B) in water until clean.
iii) Remove and clean fountain head in water with a
brush.
iv) Reassemble.
IMPORTANT
If flow is still poor check:
• Flow control (L) 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. Wash all parts in clean water
and replace impeller assembly if required as follows:
i) Disconnect all items fitted to pump outlet (I).
ii) Remove strainer cover (A) and foam filter (B) as
shown in Fig. 1.
iii) Remove impeller cover (C) by rotating anticlockwise.
iv) Carefully pull out pump impeller assembly (F)
then (G).
v) After cleaning of all components:
• Check for wear of impeller (F) on shaft (G) and
condition of rubber bushes (E). Replace with new
impeller assembly if required.
• Check cable and pump body (H) for any damage or
deterioration and discard pump if suspected faulty.
vi) Carefully reassemble all parts in reverse sequence.
