Installation Instructions

4
• Do not attempt to cut, splice or modify the power cord in any way. Doing so will void the warranty.
• Do not suspend the pump by the discharge hose, pipe or power cord.
• Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
• The water-feature the pump is being placed into must have an underlayment laid down to prevent the
pump from being clogged with mud, debris etc.
• Be sure the pump is completely submersed to prevent the pump from overheating.
• If the pump is placed in the vertical position, it may pump the water level down completely exposing
the motor housing, which will cause the motor to overheat! Make sure there is enough water to
prevent this.
INSTALLATION
Note: It is important to use as few pipe fittings as possible to minimize friction loss which will lead to low
performance.
Note: This pump has a 2 in. discharge connection. This pump can also be installed in the vertical or
horizontal position to accommodate your application requirements.
1. Wrap threads of the included 2 in. barbed adapter with thread tape (sold separately). Thread the
adapter into the 2 in. discharge of the pump 1 turn past hand tight to prevent leaks.
2. Connect a 2 in. flexible hose and hose clamp (both sold separately) to the 2 in. barbed adapter. Using
a screwdriver, be sure hose clamp is tight to prevent leaks.
a. Rigid PVC pipe and fittings may be used rather than flexible pipe if desired.
3. Connect the 2 in. hose to your water feature. Ensure all connections are air tight to prevent any leaks
which could potentially hurt the performance of the pump.
4. Place the pump into the water feature or pond.
5. Plug pump into GFCI outlet and test to make sure there are no leaks and the pump is delivering the
desired performance.
Example of a horizontal installation. Your water feature may differ.
