CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Begin by ensuring that the main power supply is disconnected before attempting any maintenance of the unit or the
water body. Remove the unit from the water. Please clean regularly (at least once a month) to ensure strong water flow.
Failure to maintain the unit could result in a burnt out motor and other damage.
• All PondMAX Skimmer & Water Feature Pumps
are water cooled. If pump becomes restricted
or blocked, it may overheat and could cause
permanent damage.
• The motor unit of the pump is encapsulated with
epoxy resin and does not need lubrication.
Regular inspections, cleaning and maintenance of
impeller is necessary to ensure longer life. In the
center of the impeller you may notice a small hole
opening that protrudes through the ceramic shaft
from front to back. It is important that this
opening is kept unblocked at all times. This is a
cooling channel for the motor.
• To unclip the front filter screen from the front of
the pump, twist the cage in a counterclockwise
direction and pull forward. See below for diagram.
• Now with the Front Filter Screen off, go ahead
and clean the screen. Make sure. Examine the
openings in screen to ensure all are unblocked.
Clean with a suitable brush if necessary.
