Intended use

The Pond Vacuum Pump is specifically
designed to remove waste material from
a pond. The minimum pond operating
depth for the pond vacuum is 0.2m.

Safety Information

The Pond Vacuum is intended only for
pond cleaning purposes. Using the
product for any other application may
result in injury or product damage.
This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the
appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
This appliance must not be used if any
people are in the water.
(Australia & NZ only) This appliance
is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless
they have been adequately
supervised by a responsible person
to ensure that they can use the
appliance safely.
Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
The Pond Vacuum is fitted with a
thermal fuse, which will switch off the
Pond Vacuum if it overheats. If this
occurs, switch off the power at the
mains supply. Inspect the Pond
Vacuum for possible cause and allow
it to cool down for approximately 15
minutes. You may then continue to
use the Pond Vacuum as normal.
Note: The fuse will only reset once
the temperature has dropped to a
safe level, which in certain
circumstances could take some time.
The combination of water and
electricity can lead to possible loss of
life if the Pond Vacuum is incorrectly
connected or misused. You must not
be in the pond when operating the
Pond Vacuum. A 10mA or 30mA
Residual Current Device (RCD) must be
fitted to the mains supply.
Always unplug or disconnect all
appliances in the pond from the
electricity supply before putting your
hands in the water. Only use the Pond
Vacuum when plugged into a
correctly fitted earthed socket. Keep
the power plug and all connections
points dry! Do not operate or leave
the Pond Vacuum in the rain. Never
carry or pull the Pond Vacuum by the
connection cable. Never operate the
Pond Vacuum if the cable or housing
are damaged! The supply cable
cannot be replaced so if the cable
becomes damaged the Pond Vacuum
should be discarded. Electrical
installations at garden ponds must
meet the international and national
regulations valid for installers. Never
open the Pond Vacuum housing or its
associated components unless this is
requested for in the operating
instructions. The maximum head of
the Pond Vacuum is 1.5m.
Assembly of the Pond
Vacuum
1. Insert the narrow end of one of the
connecting tubes (C) into the opening
at the rear of the Pond Vacuum head
(B) and screw the nut (A) until hand
tight.
2. Insert the narrow end of one of the
connecting tubes (C) through the
opening at the rear of the support
handle (D). Position the handle as
required and screw the nut (A) until
hand tight. It is recommended that
the support handle is always located
on the tube furthest from the vacuum
head.
3. Four tube sections are provided so
that the length of the Pond Vacuum
can be altered depending on the
depth of pond to be cleaned. Tubes
are connected together by inserting
the narrow end of one tube into the
wide end with plastic seal of another
(C). Simply press the parts together
until tight. Add or remove the tubes
as necessary. Twist and pull the tubes
to disassemble. Caution! Never use
excessive force to assemble or
disassemble the tubes as this may
result in the tubes or seals being
damaged!
4. The main handle (E) is attached to a
tube by simply pushing the narrow
end of the handle into the wide end
of a tube (C) until tight. Twist and
pull the handle to disassemble.
5. The hose adaptor (F) is attached to
the main handle (E) via a bayonet
fitting. Align the corresponding lugs
on the handle and adaptor, push on
and turn anti-clockwise until locked
into place (see 5A). If when using the
Pond Vacuum there is a leak in this
area, re-position and tighten the
winged hose clip as required (see 5).
6. The Pond Vacuum is provided with
four cable tidy clips (G), which should
always be fitted to keep the power
cable secure along the tubes and
prevent any safety issues. Firstly push
the cable into the clip and then press
this onto the plastic clip holder on the
end of the tube (C). Use a clip for each
section of aluminium tube used.
7. Nozzles are attached to the Pond
Vacuum by pushing them on to the
front of the vacuum head (See 7).
Caution! Only use enough force so
that the nozzle is held in position!
When nozzles are not in use they can
be stowed neatly away on the support
handle (See 7A).
Operation of Pond Vacuum
Caution! Take extra care when using
the Pond Vacuum near any aquatic life!
Three alternative nozzles have been
provided to give as much versatility to
the Pond Vacuum as possible. The
wide nozzle (H - Fig 7) is best for
cleaning the base and sides of the
pond whilst the narrow nozzle (I - Fig
7) is good for accessing corners and
small areas of the pond. A further
open nozzle (J - Fig 7) is provided
specifically to extract larger debris
from the pond e.g. small stones up to
8mm. Warning! Using this "open
nozzle" may cause the Pond Vacuum to
block more frequently. Select a nozzle
and fit as described in section 7 of the
assembly instructions.
With the Pond Vacuum fully
assembled, position it so that the Pond
Vacuum head (B) is under the water.
Position the end of the plastic waste
hose so that it goes to the desired
waste point e.g. in a flowerbed or
drain. Note: If the waste hose is not
long enough it can be easily replaced
by purchasing a suitable length of
25mm diameter spiral reinforced hose
from any aquatics outlet. Now connect
the power. Caution! Do not operate
the pump unless the Pond Vacuum
head is submerged under the water, as
this will significantly reduce its life!
Move the Pond Vacuum so that the
nozzle reaches the area to be cleaned
ensuring it is remains fully submerged.
After a few seconds dirty water should
be seen flowing from the end of the
waste hose.
If using the wide nozzle (H or J Fig 7),
move the Pond Vacuum backwards and
forwards in a smooth motion over the
area to be cleaned trying not to disturb
too much of the sediment which will
cause the pond to become excessively
cloudy. Continue until all the required
waste has been removed. If using the
narrow nozzle (I - Fig 7) carefully move
the Pond Vacuum in to the area
needing to be cleaned until all the
necessary waste has been removed.
Caution! Do not force the narrow
nozzle into the base or sides of the
pond as this may cause damage to the
liner!
It is possible to clean shelves with the
Pond Vacuum but it must be pumping
first. To do this fully submerge the
Pond Vacuum until water is being
pumped. The Pond Vacuum can then
be withdrawn from the pond up to the
tip of the nozzle (but not completely
clear of the water) allowing high
shelves to be cleaned.
Note: When withdrawing the pond
vacuum from the water it is normal to
see water pumping out through the
drain holes at the back of the vacuum
head.
