Page 9: Installation Guidelines
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES IMPORTANT: Only operate the pump when it has water running through it. Failure to do so will overheat the pump and cause it to fail, thus voiding the warranty. DO NOT OPERATE DRY! • You must prime the pump before plugging it in and turning it on. Priming a pump means to feed water into the tubing both in and out of the pump, to help create a suction effect to draw the water from the source. -
Page 10: Typical Installation: Pump Placement
TYPICAL INSTALLATION: PUMP PLACEMENT • The Vortex™ pump is designed to be either submerged directly into the pond or placed out of the pond as long as water is running through the pump. • To maximize pond circulation, locate the pump as far away as possible from the location of the water entering back into the water feature. -
Page 11: Typical Installation: Tube Connections
TYPICAL INSTALLATION: TUBE CONNECTIONS 1. When using the pump in the horizontal position, install the rubber suction feet. 2. The included adapter is designed to accommodate a range of tubing diameters. We recommend using the largest tubing size recommended for your pump for maximum flow. Trim the smaller sections with a hacksaw to avoid any flow restriction. - Page 12 Adapter Tubing (Trimmed) TYPICAL INSTALLATION: TUBE CONNECTIONS 5. Connect the other end of the pump tubing to an Alpine pond filter, waterfall, or water feature. Pump Pump 6. Place the pump in the mesh bag and securely tighten the drawstring around the tubing and power cord.

Page 13: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the pond from the electrical supply before installing, repairing, maintaining or handling equipment in the water. To prolong the life of the pump, follow these simple maintenance procedures: • Place the pump inside the included mesh bag to protect it from damaging debris and reduce maintenance. -
Page 14: Cleaning And Replacing The Impeller
CLEANING AND REPLACING THE IMPELLER If you have thoroughly cleaned the mesh bag and pre-filter cage and still have diminished flow rates, then you will need to remove and inspect the impeller and internal pump body. IMPORTANT: The pump impeller includes a high quality ceramic shaft that provides long-lasting, reliable performance when properly maintained. - Page 15 CLEANING AND REPLACING THE IMPELLER 4. If your impeller and internal pump body have excessive scale build-up, soak with any cleaning solution that removes calcium, lime and rust. Rinse with warm water and a sponge or soft-bristled brush that won’t scratch the stainless steel.
