CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 Check regularly that the water reservoir has sufficient water to cover the pump at all times. It
will be necessary to check more frequently in warm or windy weather.
 Do not allow the pump to freeze. During cold spells, remove the pump from the water feature
and place in a water-filled container in a frost-free position. DO NOT store the pump dry.
 Periodically it will be necessary to change the water and clean the water feature and reservoir.
The frequency of this will depend on the weather and location of the water feature. The outside
of the water feature can be cleaned using a soft cloth and clean water and the reservoir with a
soft brush. A mild detergent can be used, but please note this will cause the water to foam and
should be avoided unless strictly necessary.
 The pump rotor will require cleaning at approximately monthly intervals. A good indication will
be if the water flow rate drops. Switch off and unplug the water feature, remove the pump from
the water reservoir and disconnect the water pipe. Remove the filtering cover and
pressure-casing from the front of pump body. Clean the rotor and housing in clean water using
cotton buds. Reassemble the pump, reconnect the water pipe and reassemble the water
feature.
