• If running through winter conditions, check regularly to make sure it is functioning properly and ice is not preventing water
from reaching the pump. In the event of a power failure, the pump should be removed to prevent any freeze damage to the
pump or the piping.
• If concerned about possible freeze damage, disconnect and remove the pump. Be careful not to lose the fl at rubber
washer. Clean with fresh water and store the pump in a frost-free location. If needed, use Aquascape Pump Cleaner
Maintenance Solution (#91143) to remove excessive buildup.

• Outer / Inner Filter Screen Cleaning:
– Gently push on the top of the outer screen to remove it from the pump. Then, unthread the inner screen from the pump
intake (Ex. 8).
– Clean the fi lter screens to remove any existing debris or buildup. If needed, use Aquascape Pump Cleaner Maintenance
Solution (#91143) to remove stubborn buildup.
• Impeller Cleaning:
– Remove the four screws to disconnect the water chamber cover (Ex. 9).
– Remove the impeller by pulling gently (Ex. 10).
– Clean the impeller and internal pump body with Aquascape Pump Cleaner Maintenance Solution (#91143), using a
sponge or soft-bristled brush.
– When re-installing the impeller, be sure to align the three tabs as shown (Ex. 11).
– Re-install the water chamber using the four screws. Then, replace the outer and inner screens.
NOTE: We recommend using the largest diameter of
tubing possible to achieve maximum water fl ow. If using
pipe with a larger diameter than the smallest section of the
multi-hose adapter, cut off the smaller section to avoid any
fl ow restriction (Ex. 6).
