084-121078

This Beckett DP Series centrifugal pump is magnetically driven and contains no seals to leak or wear

out. It also contains no oil as other types of submersible utility pumps do, thereby eliminating the pos-

sibility of oil leaks which can foul your water. All electrical parts and connections are completely en-

capsulated with epoxy. These features, combined with very low energy consumption, make for a safe

and convenient pump which is economical to operate. In addition, it is essentially maintenance-free.

The Beckett DP Series pump is designed to operate completely submerged. Cleaning of the ﬁlter can

be reduced by placing the pump on a brick or patio stone in the water to raise it above the level of the

debris which accumulates on the bottom.

Use:

Preﬁlters are supplied with the pump. Using and maintaining clean preﬁlters will greatly decrease

maintenance in cleaning the impeller assembly as well as providing better water ﬁltration and pump

ﬂow. See Page 2 - Preﬁlter Cleaning.

Prefilter:

The only serviceable part is the impeller assembly. It can be cleaned and inspected by removing the

screws holding the volute housing in place and lifting out the housing and impeller assembly. See Page

3 for diagram. Never attempt to disassemble the impeller assembly. If it becomes worn or broken,

simply replace the entire assembly. If the pump is taken out of service for a period of time (such as

during winter), ﬂush the pump out with clean fresh water and drain thoroughly before storing. Ensure

that the cord is protected from wear and abrasion.

NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPLACE OR SHORTEN THE CORD!

Service and

Maintenance:

1. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and a ground-

ing-type attachment plug (3-prong plug). To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is

connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the grounding

pin.

2. RISK OF SEVERE ELECTRIC SHOCK – Connect only to a grounded receptacle protected

by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). A GFCI must be provided in accordance with Section

680-51 of the national electric code. Contact a qualiﬁed electrician if you cannot verify that the

receptacle is protected by the GFCI.

3. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:

A. Never use an extension cord to connect unit to electrical supply; provide a properly located

GFCI outlet.

B. Never bury the 3-prong plug of the cord, it is not waterproof and severe electric shock will

occur.

Your Beckett DP Series pump is cooled and lubricated with water. If the pump is plugged in while it

is out of the water, it is normal for it to rattle. However, while it will continue to operate if allowed to

run dry, it will sustain permanent heat damage after 30 minutes. Your Beckett DP Series pump is in-

tended to pump fresh water only. Do not use to pump oils, solvents, fuels, or salt water. Do not allow

to freeze.

POND ACCESSORIES: 1. BIO-FILTER, Inline Type: Bio-Filters provide mechanical and biological pond ﬁltration for a cleaner and healthier pond environment. They efﬁciently process waste and clarify the pond water as well as reducing ammonia, nitrates and nitrites in the pond by promoting rapid growth of beneﬁcial bacteria. Bio-ﬁlters provide more efﬁcient ﬁltration of the pond water as compared to just a mechanical type ﬁlter.

6. LARGE WATER COURSE/STREAM: These are normally molded plastic and may be provided with a rock looking texture for a more natural look. Some of these are multi-leveled to add emphasis to the water ﬂow. Installation is fairly simple and attach to your existing pond pump with a vinyl hose. Sizes vary from 12” to 48” in length and may be purchased in many different forms and shapes. 7.
