User Guide

The EcoPlus submersible pumps are quality products, designed using the very latest
technological developments. The pumps are suitable for use in hydroponic systems, ponds,
aquariums, fountains and filter systems. The pumps have been developed on the basis of
the so-called synchronous technology, whereby the electrical parts are fully encapsulated in
epoxy resin.
USE
The pumps have an economical, powerful and reliable motor. The entire series are suitable
for installation on dry land for in-line use or submersibly into the water. The EcoPlus
submersible pumps are equipped with a ceramic shaft and therefore also suitable for use in
salt water.
OPERATION
Read these instructions very carefully before you start. NEVER let the pump run dry. Place
the pump at least 6 inches and no more than 3 feet below the water surface, on a stable
surface that is free of sludge, sand and other debris. Add fountain extension pipes so that the
fountain head is above the surface of the pond. (1) Turn the flow control clockwise to increase
flow and counter-clockwise to reduce flow. (2) Water bell nozzle is adjusted by moving the
head higher for small bell and lower for a wider bell shape.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The power supply must comply with the specifications on the product. The national code
requires that a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) be utilized in the branch circuit,
which supplies electrical power to the EcoPlus pump and all other electrical aquarium or
hydroponic equipment. NEVER pull the pump by the power cord and NEVER remove the
pump from the water by pulling on the power cord. NEVER remove the power plug or shorten
the cable. Your warranty is void if you do not comply with the operation and instructions
noted above. Keep the electrical connection (plug and wall socket) dry.
The pump is not suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds or other situations
where persons could make bodily contact with the water. Always unplug the power cord
before cleaning the pump or carrying out water maintenance.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The EcoPlus submersible pumps do not require lubrication or special maintenance. The
following maintenance and cleansing will improve the pumps performance and life.
Cleaning: When the flow is visibly reduced you may want to clean the pump. Unplug the
pump’s power cord first, then remove the pump form the water (Do NOT use the cord to lift
the pump). Firmly pull the pre-filter cage from the pump motor. Remove the pre-filter sponge
and wash thoroughly in fresh water. A blocked sponge will reduce the pump flow rate and
performance.
Regular Maintenance: Remove the impeller cover by turning counterclockwise to release
lock. Firmly pull away from the pump motor. Carefully remove impeller locator and complete
