Danner Pondmaster 1250 Care And Operating Instructions

The Pond master filter system consists of: A Pond master 1000 filter, magnetic drive pump, one ¾" hose
fittings, two fountain heads which can be connected to the pump and hose to connect units. The
benefits of using a fountain head are: more aeration and an exciting water display. For ponds that re­
quire more filtering because of higher fish population or abundant plant growth. The Pond master 1000
filter can be purchased separately and teed together to increase filter area.
The cover should occasionally be removed to clean and inspect the impeller assembly. The impeller is
the only serviceable item and can be pulled out of the body . Do not take the impeller apart. If it is
worn or broken the entire impeller assembly should be replaced. This will restore the pump to original
capacity. Pumps taken out of service for an extended period with fluid inside run the risk of forming a
crust which may prevent subsequent starting. Saltwater should be flushed out with fresh water. Always
check cord for sharp bends which can cause premature cracking. Do not use power cord to lift or
move pump.
The filter unit rests on the bottom of the pond. It is designed to connect to the pump using the fitting
and flexible hose provided. In larger ponds, a longer piece of tubing can be used so that the filter can
be moved while the pump remains stationary. The coarse polyester should be placed on top of the
finer carbon impregnated material which filters smaller debris from the water; the activated carbon in
this layer helps eliminate many harmful compounds as well as unwanted color from the pond water.
See page three for more detailed instructions,
The pump is intended to pump water only. It cannot be used to pump oil, solvents, or gasoline. Although
the pump will continue to run without water, after 30 minutes damage may occur if allowed to run dry.
Always use a properly grounded outlet. Do not immerse plug in water. DO NOT REACH INTO WATER TO
REMOVE PLUG. TURN OFF CIRCUIT FIRST. A "drip loop" should be provided. The "drip loop" is a loop in the
cord below the level of the receptacle or plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord. The
National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be installed in the branch
circuit supplying fountain or pond equipment. Your dealer can supply GFCI units. NEVER REMOVE
GROUND PIN FROM PLUG.
SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING. SHOULD THE UNIT APPEAR TO BE NOT WORKING DO NOT
REACH, REMOVE OR DISASSEMBLE BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT POWER.
