Protective measures:
• Prior to reaching into the water, disconnect the power supply to all units used in the water.
• Disconnect the power plug prior to carrying out work on the unit.
If necessary, clean the unit with clear water using a soft brush.
• Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These could attack the housing surface or impair the
function.
• In the event of stubborn furring (calcium deposits), a common household cleaner free from vinegar and chlorine can
be used. Subsequently, clean the pump thoroughly using clear water.
Cleaning the unit
Open strainer casing and remove pump (B). Unscrew pump lid and remove impeller. Clean all components using clean
water and a brush.
After cleaning the pump, reassemble in the reverse order. Insert pump in the strainer casing. Regarding the 1500-2500
series of the PondoMax, ensure correct seating of the rubber buffers used for the bearing of the pump. Route connec-
tion cable such that it cannot be pinched. Refit strainer lid and close.
