DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
The PondMAX EvoII Submersible Pumps have been manufactured with advanced technology to provide you with the
best quality pumps for your pond or water feature. Visit our website to view our range of pond filtration, outdoor/
underwater lighting, water treatments and general accessories.
BENEFITS INCLUDE
• Variable Frequency Motor Technology – Extra high
speed rotations of impellor.
• Open Vane Impellor Design – Handles large particles
size up to 4mm soft sediment.
• Long life Impellor Design – Ceramic shaft is wear
resistant and self-lubricated by water
• High Head Pressure – Due to extra high speed rotations
of impellor.
• Energy Ecient – Exceptional low power consumption
to high water flow conversion.
• Eco Friendly – Exceptional low dB noise rating with low
mechanical vibration.
• Marine Compatible* see warranty disclaimer
– No exposed copper.
• Tool-less Assembly - For Easy maintenance. No special
tools required.
• Rotor Stop Protection – Sensors automatically cut
power in the event that the impellor stops rotating,
reducing the chances of motor burnout.
• Soft Start – Rotor starts at low speed and increases
over a short period of time. This reduces sudden recoil
kick back on start up.
• PondMAX Fountain & Pond pumps are suitable for
use in many dierent applications including fountains,
water features, aquatic systems, aquarium applications
and hydroponics. The pumps can be used in either
submersible or in-line use applications.
• Submersible pumps are a magnetically driven
centrifugal pump, therefore they cannot suck from
a water level that is below the inlet level when used
in-line.
• Your pump has a single moving part (an impellor set)
enabling easy cleaning and maintenance.
• The models EV1900 – EV13600 Pumps have intelligent
circuitry that analyses the speed and torque of the
motor. It will increase and decrease the energy usage to
maximise eciency.
The soft start nature of the system helps to avoid
sudden jolting at start up. The intelligent system will
change the motor speed to maximise the flow of water
in the given circumstances. If the Impellor gets jammed
or stops, the circuitry will sense the state and cut the
power automatically for 3 seconds and then power up
again.
This procedure will repeat 3 times. If the rotor is still
jammed, it will activate a prolonged low state, till the
pump is turned o, and adequate maintenance is
carried out. Thus minimising motor burnout, due to
electrical heat, through lack of water flow through the
motor.
• The motor and electrical components are totally
encapsulated in epoxy resin, ensuring safe operation
under water.
• The pump has a robust bearing and shaft design so no
Oil/grease lubrication is required.
• PondMAX pumps, that have plastic impeller parts and
ceramic shafts, can be used in Marine applications as
there is no exposed copper. For Marine use, please see
warranty disclaimer.
• PondMAX Submersible Pumps are continuous rated
therefore are designed to operate 24/7.
• An optional fountain kit can be purchased and fitted
to the models EV650 – EV4900 pumps. Some of
these models include a sponge pre-filter that assists in
straining the partials in the water, to assist the fountain
nozzles becoming blocked up with debris. See your
retailer for options.

• Any damage to the equipment or unmerited operation
will bring dangers to the surrounding precincts. So if
there is any damage of the equipment, it must not to
be used. The equipment should be placed out of reach
of children.
• For your own safety, disconnect from the power supply
before any maintenance of any equipment is attempted
on the tank or water body. Always unplug the pump
from the power supply when not in use. Never pull the
cable to disconnect the plug from the power supply -
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. If required, have
a qualified electrician install a weatherproof power
supply point near to the pond or water-feature (within
the cable length of the appliance).
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the
water. The depth should not be greater than 2m.
• Do not operate the pump if the appliance or any
components of the system, such as the power cable,
have been damaged. Check appliance for defects
regularly.
• Always use a properly grounded power supply that is
connected to an RCD with a rated residual operating
current not exceeding 30mA. As per AS/NZS
3350.2.41:1997
• To avoid an electric shock, do not attach the plug to
the power supply socket with wet hands. The drip loop
method should be used to prevent water from traveling
down the cable and onto the plug or power supply.
If the plug does get wet, do not unplug the cable.
Disconnect the circuit breaker that supplies power to
the power supply point. Then unplug and examine the
plug and power supply point for presence of water. If
the power point has become wet, you should consult an
electrician before using the power point again.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. Do not
use in water above 35°C.
• Do not cut the cable as this will result in voiding your
warranty.
• Care should be taken to arrange the power cable so
that it cannot be accidentally tripped over or pulled.
• Do not attempt to repair the electrical appliance
yourself. Return to an authorized service centre or place
of purchase if a fault occurs, (regular maintenance is not
considered repair and is required by user).
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read the operating instructions and familiarise yourself with the equipment before placing it
in service. Correct and safe use of the system requires strict compliance with the safety instructions.
For safety reasons, persons less than 16 years of age or infirm persons that are not familiar with these
instructions should not use this equipment.
PRODUCT SPECIFIC SAFEGUARDS
• Do not operate the pump without water at any time,
permanent damage may occur.
• Be sure the equipment is submerged completely in the
water. The depth should not be greater than 2m. If used
in line, the pump must have adequate flooded suction
at all times.
• The pump is designed to be used in a Garden pond/
waterfeature or Aquarium environment. It is not to be
used in any other manner or purpose.
• The pump should only be used in clean water. Do not
use the pump in, or with, any chemicals such as a
solvent or gasoline.
• All PondMAX Submersible pumps are cooled by water
flowing through the inside of the motor body. If the
pump flow becomes restricted it will overheat and could
cause permanent damage. Large tubing size is strongly
recommended to deliver adequate water flow to cool
the pump.
• The pump needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the
pump becoming blocked, thus causing the pump to
overheat and burn out. This is not a warrantable event.
It is strongly recommended not to select a pump that
is too small for the Job required. The flow rate through
the pump needs to be enough so that a half of the rated
max flow is kept running at all times.

WATER PUMPS
INSTALLATION
For your convenience, a filter-less cage has been used on this model. It has a flat section on the front nose. This is to
facilitate a vertical mount is necessary.
• A basic plastic fountain kit is not recommended for
pumps that have flow over 6000L/hour. It’s better
to use commercial fountain nozzles for higher flow.
If using fountain nozzles, it is recommended that a
sponge pre-filter be used. See your local dealer for
examples.
• If used to supply water to a waterfeature, cascade,
waterfall, etc; where a pipe is needed to be used,
use the hose tails supplied in the package. For best
results, use the bigger tubing size recommended in
the table previously. Depending on the pump size,
select the hose tail required for your tubing size and
evaluate which step on the hose tail will be used. If
you are using 50mm hose and you are connecting it
to the 40mm/50mm hose tail supplied, remember to
saw o the smaller size connection (I.E.: 40mm step).
Otherwise it will create a unnecessary restriction in the
system.
• Using a suitable thread seal tape (or other sealing
compound) apply a liberal amount on the male thread
of the hose tail.
• A omni-directional ball-joint is provided for your
convenience when used under water. This is because
the diagonal side sections of the ball-joint may seep
water when in use. The fittings pack include the
necessary O’Ring washers. Select the one that will fit
the female connection of the ball-joint. Place it firmly
in the locking nut. Now screw the locking nut of the
ball-joint onto the outlet of the pump. Fasten firmly
but do not over tighten.
• Then connect the 1 1/2” threaded bush to the outlet of
the ball joint. Then connect the hose tail to the bush
and screw in firmly. To seal adequately, use thread seal
tape on this male thread.
• Now connect the tubing to the hose tail. Remember to
use S/Steel hose clamps to fasten the hose on to the
hosetail. This is to ensure that the hose does not blow
o at a later time or there become a leak at this point
in the plumbing system.
• When used in a pond environment place the pump
in desired location; ensure the pump is on a stable
surface that is free of sludge, sand and other debris.
Position the device in the pond horizontally, on a solid
base, in such a way that it is fully covered with water
and ensure that the pump is located, at a depth, in
the water, which will not allow it to suck air from the
surface. This is known as cavitation. Cavitation is a
cause of premature impellor wear.
• Direct the hose to your desired location.
• To power up, push the plug into the power supply
outlet and switch on. Use the power supply switch for
turning the unit on and o.

1. Turn the filter case in the direction as indicated by the arrow, then lift it o.
2. Unclip the snap-fit catch under the base plate, and drawn out in the direction of the arrow.
3. Take o the base plate.
4. To maintain the impellor of the pump, turn the Impellor Cover in an anti-clockwise direction as indicated by the
arrow, to the stop position. Then separate the impellor cover from the pump motor body.
5. Lift out the impellor assembly. (Take care not to break ceramic shaft.) The black disc behind the blades is part of the
entire impellor assembly. Clean the impellor with clean water and a suitable brush taking note to remove fine
sediment on and around the back end of the impellor including the small hole through the ceramic shaft if it has one.
Replace the impellor if necessary.
6. Ensure to replace the O’ring in the correct place shown in the picture when reassembling the unit.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the mains power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance or adjustment of
the unit or the water body. Remove the unit from the water. If your unit is connected to a sponge filter, the filters and
sponges will clog up over time. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow. Failure to
maintain the unit will result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
• All EvoII Submersible pumps are water cooled, if pump
becomes restricted, or blocked, it will overheat and
could cause permanent damage.
• The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with
epoxy resin and does not need lubrication. Regular
inspections, cleaning and maintenance of impellor is
necessary to ensure longer life. In the centre of the
impellor you may notice a small whole opening that
protrudes through the ceramic shaft from front to back.
It is paramount that this portal is kept unblocked at all
times. This is a cooling channel for the motor.
• If using a fountain kit, take o the fountain set first by
unscrewing it from the top of the pump. Examine the
nozzles to ensure all ports are unblocked. Clean with a
suitable brush if necessary.
• Maintain the filter sponge regularly according to how
long it takes for the sponge to get clogged up. When
the flow starts to be reduced, check and clean if
necessary.
• To unclip the front filter cage from the front of the
pump, twist the cage in an anti-clockwise direction and
pull forward. See below for diagram. If available, take
out the optional Internal Bio sponge and clean. If using
an optional pre-filter block sponge, slide the sponge
o the threaded core and wash out. It is recommended
that this is done in a bucket of pond water to ensure
the good bacteria that are present in the sponge are
not killed by the Chlorine in tap water. Check for wear
and tear of the sponges. Replace if necessary.
• You can help boost the biological function of your filter
sponge with a bacterial additive, available from your
local stockist.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• It is important to ensure that this is carried out
regularly as the cooling path inside the motor will
become clogged. If the impellor assembly becomes
worn or damaged it should be replaced (available
from your dealer or special orders). Failure to do
so may cause serious damage to pump. Inspect for
signs for wear and tear. The impellor set is a wearing
consumable part.
• Once the cleaning and inspection process is completed,
reassemble in the reverses manner. Reinstall the
impellor into the motor body.
To place the Impellor O’Ring around the black disc
successfully, firmly hold the disc with one hand, and
using the other hand stretch the O’Ring over the disc,
positioning it carefully into the groove. Pay attention
not to allow the O’Ring to roll forward, in-between the
black disc and the motor body.
With the impellor in the correct position, carefully place
the impellor cover back on, and then rotate clockwise
back into position.
• On some models re-insert the internal sponge back
into the filter cage and reattach to the pump. On other
models re-attach the front filter screen.
• Now re-attach the sliding base back into position to
lock the impellor cover from turning.
