TYPICAL INSTALLATION FOR YOUR POND The Cyclone pump is designed to be submerged directly into the pond or out of the pond as long as water is running through the pump. To maximize pond circulation, locate the pump as far away as possible from the location of the water entering back into the water feature. (Figure 3.2) It is recommended that the pump is NOT positioned in the deepest area of the pond.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the pond from the electrical supply before installing, repairing, maintaining or handling the equipment in the water. To avoid shortening the life of the pump, follow these simple maintenance procedures: -Once a week, verify that the pump performance is satisfactory. If you detect a drop in pump performance (such as a decrease in water flow from the pump or to the waterfall) first clean the pump’s pre-filter cage and tubing.
