    What to do if Pontec PondoMax Eco 8500 C does not transport fluid?

      If your Pontec Water Pump isn't transporting fluid, several issues could be the cause. It might be that the filter housing is clogged, so you should clean the strainer casings. Another reason might be excessively soiled water, in this case you should clean the pump; the pump will automatically switch on again once the motor has cooled down. Also, the pump might be set too low, increase the rotation speed of the pump at the controller. Finally, the impeller unit could be blocked. In that case, disconnect the power supply, remove the obstacle, and then switch the pump on again.

    How to fix insufficient delivered quantity in Pontec PondoMax Eco 8500 C Water Pump?

      If your Pontec Water Pump is not delivering enough quantity, consider these potential causes: The filter housing might be clogged, so clean the strainer casings. There could be excessive loss in the supply lines, so select a larger hose diameter, adjust the stepped hose adapter to the hose diameter, reduce the hose length to the minimum necessary and avoid unnecessary connection elements. Alternatively, the pump might be set too low, so increase the rotation speed of the pump at the controller.

    What to do if Pontec Water Pump switches off after operating briefly?

      If your Pontec Water Pump switches off soon after starting, it could be due to a few reasons. The water may be excessively soiled, so clean the pump and it will automatically restart once the motor cools down. Another possibility is that the impeller unit is blocked; disconnect the power, remove the blockage, and then restart the pump. Also, the pump may have run dry; in this case, flood the pump and fully submerge it for operation in the pond.

      If your Pontec Water Pump is not delivering enough water, several factors could be the cause. Start by checking if the filter housing is clogged and clean the strainer casings if needed. Excessive loss in the supply lines can also be a culprit; try selecting a larger hose diameter, adjusting the stepped hose adapter to the hose diameter, reducing the hose length to the minimum necessary, and avoiding unnecessary connection elements. Additionally, make sure the pump isn't set too low by increasing the rotation speed at the controller.

      If your Pontec Water Pump switches off shortly after starting, it could be due to excessively soiled water; clean the pump, and it will restart once the motor cools. Another possibility is a blocked impeller unit; disconnect the power, remove any obstacles, and then restart the pump. Lastly, the pump might have run dry; in this case, flood the pump, ensuring it's fully submerged when operating in a pond.

    What does error message Er8 mean on Pontec Water Pump?
    • C
      Christie WilkersonSep 2, 2025
      Error message Er8 on your Pontec Water Pump indicates undervoltage. This means the voltage to the pump is too low, often due to voltage drop in long cables or cables with too small of a conductor cross-section. To resolve this, keep the extension cable to the pump as short as possible and use an extension cable with a greater conductor cross-section.
