This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they don't play with the appliance.
Your Aqua Control, Inc. products are made entirely of corrosion resistant materials including stainless steel, aluminum alloy, bronze and engineered
plastics. They will provide safe, long and satisfactory service if properly installed, operated and maintained.
1.
Follow all applicable electrical codes. (Australia: AS/NZS 3000)
2.
Protect exposed or vulnerable wiring with tubing or conduit.
3.
Do not operate the unit when it is obvious the flow rate is reduced.
4.
Do not work on the unit when it is turned on or operating.
5.
Follow all normal safety precautions when working in and around the water.
6.
Prevent tension on the electrical wires.
7.
Do not carry or pull the unit by the lights or by the cord. Use the finger pockets on the float.
8.
Never try to dislodge debris from the impeller or propeller while the motor is connected to the power supply.
9.
Always make certain that the control panel and all electrical equipment is grounded properly.
10.
Pumps for outdoor fountains, garden ponds, and similar places have to be supplied through a RCD (operating current ≤ 30 mA). Any time
high voltage electricity is used underwater, a potential safety hazard exists. Aqua Control builds and provides UL listed control panels that
are standard equipped with a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for both motors and lights. Class A GFCI's are designed to
provide protection against electrocution for people. They have a nominal trip level of 5 ma (milli amps=.005 amps) and are designed to
shut the circuit off in 25 milli seconds. Such a system will shut off a current resulting from shorts or dangerous leakage, whether from the
motor, electrical cables, or controls, before a hazardous current can develop.
Notice: Pollution of the water could occur due to leakage of lubricants.
Any components that have been removed from the packages and installed in the water will have a higher restocking fee if it is later determined that they have
been ordered incorrectly and need to be returned to the factory and exchanged. Keep your original packaging for returns to the factory or contact the factory
for packaging suitable for safe return of the product.
1.
Check the packing list that came with the shipment. Make certain all the boxes have been received. Each label will have a box number and
total for the shipment (1 of 5, 2 of 5). The packing list has the total number of boxes noted at the bottom.
2.
Check the pond depth. Is the pond deep enough for the unit being installed?
3.
Verify the incoming voltage where it will be connected to the control panel. Does the measured voltage match the rated
motor voltage requirements? Note the HP, voltage and phase on the packing list.
4.
Is there a VFD operating from the same power supply or in the vicinity that might interfere with the GFCI?

    WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: Many variables must be considered before deciding to operate a Titan Fountain during the winter. These variables include but are not limited to the depth of the lake, overall size of the lake, climate variation, predictability of cold, and loss of power in winter conditions. Aqua Control does not warrant any damage incurred during winter operation, even if the following guidelines are followed.
