SP Series of Submersible
Variable Flow Pumps
Models SP-75, SP-130 & SP-160
Please be sure to read these instructions carefully
before you begin installation and use.
1. Place the pump in a suitable location using the
rubber suction feet as additional support if possible.
The unit must be fully submerged in the water since
this will cool the unit.
2. Place the pump in a location where water can be
circulated around the pump.
3. Turn the flow control valve clockwise to increase
the water flow, turn the flow control valve counter-
clockwise to reduce the water flow.
4. Clean the impeller at least every month. The impeller
is situated in the pump housing and can be accessed
by holding the pump body and rotating the impeller
cover and pulling the pump cover away from the
main body.
5. Clean the impeller in fresh water and the housing
with cotton buds or similar to remove any and
all accumulated debris from the pump and then
re-assemble.
The electricity supply cord must extend below the
plug socket; this is to prevent water drops from making
contact with the plug or electricity supply outlet –
this is called a “drip loop”. See diagram in the
WARNING section.

VP Series of In-line/
Submersible Variable Flow Pumps
Models VP-300, VP-600, VP-1150,
VP-1650 & VP-2250
Please be sure to read these instructions carefully
before you begin installation and use.
1. Place the pump in a suitable location using the
rubber suction feet as additional support if possible.
Never let the pump run dry.
2. Place the pump at least 6” and no more than 36”
below the water on a stable surface that is free
from sludge, sand and other debris. Allow for
adequate water circulation around the pump for
maximum performance.
3. Add fountain extension pipes so that the fountain
head is above the surface of the water.
4. Turn the flow control valve clockwise to increase
the water flow, turn the flow control valve counter-
clockwise to reduce the water flow.
The cascading water bell nozzle (if so equipped and
provided) is adjusted by turning the top piece of the
head higher for a smaller bell and by turning the top
piece of the head lower for a wider shaped bell.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
The Infinity Series of pumps do not require lubrication
or special maintenance. The following maintenance
and cleaning will improve your pump’s performance
and life.
Carry out routine maintenance when the pump flow is
visibly reduced. Switch off the electricity and remove
the pump for the water source (DO NOT use the cable
to lift the pump out) and firmly pull off the pre-filter
cage from the pump motor (Fig. 1). Remove pre-filter
foam and clean thoroughly in fresh water. A blocked
foam filter will reduce the pump flow rate. Regular
maintenance: remove the impeller cover by turning the
in-line housing counter-clockwise while pushing in to
release the lock (Fig. 2). Once unlocked, firmly pull the
cover away from the pump motor (Fig. 3). Carefully
remove the impeller locator (small round washer if
applicable) and the impeller unit (Fig. 4). Wash parts
with fresh water and clean thoroughly. Once you have
cleaned the pump, re-assemble in reverse order (Fig. 5).
Your actual cleaning frequency will be based on your
specific use conditions.
Do not allow the pump to operate in below freezing
conditions (32°F) since this will
cause the pump to freeze up
and become inoperable.
In freezing conditions,
remove the pump from
the use area
and store in
a frost-free
location.
