Operation And Maintenance - AquaScape 400 Instruction And Maintenance Manual

• The convenient 3-Way
Diverter Fitting provides
you with the ability to
connect and adjust the
flow rates to as many as
three different pumping
locations. Simply adjust
the valve on the 3-Way
Diverter Fitting to dial in
the desired water flow.
If you are not using all
three valves, close off the
unused valve to maximize
the amount of water flow
to the remaining valves.
• If using a diameter pipe larger than the smallest section
of the Multi Hose Adapter, trim off the smaller sections
to avoid any flow restriction.
• Attach tubing to the fitting. If tubing is loose on fitting
use a hose clamp (not included) to secure tubing onto
the fitting.
• In some instances the tubing/hose may be tight and
difficult to use with hose fitting barbs. If this is the case
we recommend heating the hose with the use of a hair
dryer or simply dipping the hose for a few seconds in very
hot water. Lubrication can also be used; we recommend
silicone grease or olive oil. We recommend putting the
6
fitting on the filter before attaching the tubing/hose. Once
the fitting is in place, attach the tubing/hose onto the fitting
with a twisting motion pushing it into place.
• Connect the other end of the pump tubing to the pond
filter, such as a biological filter, waterfall spillway or
pressurized filter or to a decorative fountain or spitter.

Operation and Maintenance

• Filter Screens – Do not remove the pump cover-
inlet screen or filter sponge while operating the pump.
Operating the pump without the front cover or filter sponge
can allow large debris to enter the pump causing the
pump to fail, thus voiding the warranty.
• Filter Screen Cleaning – We recommend inspecting
your pump on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning
properly. Always disconnect the power before performing
maintenance on the pump. If you notice the water flow rate
is diminished, it may be due to the pump's filter screen or
sponge becoming clogged with debris. In many cases the
clogged screen can be cleaned by reaching in to the pump
and removing, by hand, any debris from the filter screen. If

• Connect the pump to an
outlet that is protected by
a ground fault interrupter.
Once the pump is running
and water is circulating
through the filter(s) or
waterfalls, check for
any fitting or waterfall
leaks where the external
connections are made.
