Pondmaster 02522MBRB Care And Operating Instructions

The pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal water pump. It has no seals to wear and contains no
oil. The pump can be used submerged or inline. lnline means connections are made directly to the
pump inlet and outlet ports, which have½" NPT threads. All electrical components are encapsulated
in epoxy. The energy used is approximately 1 /2 of regular driven pumps. The prefilter is provided for
use in situations where deposits in the water could clog or damage the pump. This helps to give
uninterrupted service.
Centrifugal pumps cannot pull water from a lower level. In order to start, pump must be below
water level and filled with water. Unless the air can escape from the outlet, the pump will not start.
Do not use glues or solvents to connect the pumps threaded fittings. Use Teflon pipe tape. The
pump cover is not designed to support long pipe runs or to correct pipe misalignment.
The pump 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 pump is intended to pump water only. It cannot be used to pump oil, solvents, or gasoline.
Although the pump will continue to run if there is no 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. WARNING: FOR YOUR PROTECTION ALWAYS UNPLU G THE
UNIT FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE INSTALLING OR SERVICING. SHOULD THE UNIT APPEAR TO BE
NOT WORKING DO NOT REACH, REMOVE OR DISASSEMBLE BEFORE YOU DISCONNECT POWER.
