If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
- Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is getting electrical power
- Check the pump discharge and pond tubing for kinks and obstructions
- Algae build-up can be removed with a garden hose
- Remove the pump front cover & plate to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or damaged
If the pump is not moving the water at a consistent rate:
- Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough water to function
- Maintain the desired water level by check the water daily and refilling when needed
If abnormal noise is heard during regular operation:
- Remove pump front & plate
- Use hand to grip the impeller, and gently pull the impeller/rotor assembly out of the pump housing
- Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and the cavity with clean water to remove any debris
If any breakage or damage is found on the assembly contact your distributor for a replacement part.

Prevent Runoff by using plants that cover the entire ground surface. Runoff can carry harmful chemicals, pesticides and excessive amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen into waterways.
Safety Instructions
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
- Always unplug the pump from the electrical outlet before cleaning or handling
- Use with clean water ONLY, do not place in other liquids
- Do not connect to any voltage other than shown on the pump
- Do not use in water above 90°F (30°C)
- Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a "drip loop". This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet
Regular Maintenance to Extend your Pump's Life:
To clean pump:
- Unplug from electrical outlet. Use a small soft brush or place under a stream of water to remove debris.
- Periodically monitor the water and change water according to water quality to prevent water from forming micro-organisms.
