PUMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General Information
PowerJet pumps are designed to generate powerful water circulation that is essential for
the creation of fountains and waterfalls. Besides being pleasant to see, water flow con-
tributes to the oxygenation of pond water, which is beneficial to pond fish and plants.
12
The pump is designed to circulate clear water only and is not a pond filter.
The pump motor sits inside a uniquely-shaped cage that is designed to block out any
solids that could potentially clog the pump and fountain jets. This unique blocking fea-
ture ensures an extended period of reliable operation. The pump must never be
used without its cage.
In order to prevent the pump from sucking dirt
directly from the pond bottom, we recommend
that you install it on an elevated surface that is
flat and level. It is recommended that you
secure the pump to a fixed base by using the
keyhole-shaped slots located at the bottom of
14
the cage, which is shaped to allow the fast
engaging/disengaging of the pump from the
base. (See Fig. 5)
Check that the information on the nameplate
(which is located on the pump) corresponds to
the power supply. The electrical installation and wiring must comply with the safety
15
standards in your area. If unsure, ask a qualified electrician to do the wiring. The electri-
cal cord must be protected against any objects that may potentially damage it. The elec-
trical receptacle/socket must be located in a dry, protected and easily accessible place.
WARNING: Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the
pond from the electrical supply before installing, repairing,
Fig.4
maintaining or handling the equipment in the water.
Important: To achieve the best pump operation, always use the
largest bore hose possible. Avoid sharp bends in the hosing;
gradual curves are preferred.
Installation: (see Fig. 4)
Warning: Do not plug in the pump before it is correctly and fully installed.
1) Insert the Telescopic Riser Stem (9) into the relevant seat of the diverter (8).
2) Insert the Fountain Jet (11 or 12) on the top of the Telescopic Riser Stem (9).
3) Insert the Diverter (8) complete with the Telescopic Riser Stem (9) and Fountain
Jet (11 or 12) onto the pump output, ensuring that the "Click-Fit" coupling clicks
into place.
4) If installing an underwater filter, see Connecting the pump to PowerFlo
Underwater Filter below. If using the backwash feature to periodically rinse the
pump cage, (see Pump Cage Backwash).
5) Place the pump in the pond ensuring that it is completely immersed in water and
securely installed on a solid, level and elevated platform. If necessary, use the
keyhole-shaped slots at the bottom of the pump to fasten it to a secure base. Use
extra care when engaging or disengaging the pump.
6) Adjust the height of the Fountain Jet (11 or 12) by moving the Telescopic Riser
Stem (9) up or down.
7) To further increase the height of the Fountain Jets, attach an optional Extension
Tube (sold separately, PT-645). Not applicable to Models 400/1500 and 600/2200.
8) To use the additional outlet of the Diverter to transfer water to a waterfall, a
PowerClear UV Sterilizer or other equipment, connect a flexible hose (not included)
to the side outlet of the Diverter using a Click-Fit coupling. If using a Universal
Click-Fit coupling (14), cut it off at the required size by using a small hack saw in
order to allow the hose to fit properly and to achieve the best pump performance.
9) Water flow to the Fountain Jet or Waterfall Outlet can be adjusted separately
using the two control valves located on the sides of the Diverter (8).
Pump Operation
Once the pump is fully installed, it can be started by inserting the plug in the
electrical receptacle/socket.
Opening and Closing the
Pump Cage
(see Fig. 6)
The upper and lower halves of the pump cage are fas-
tened together by pivot pin fasteners. Using a standard
flat screwdriver (5 mm to 8 mm), do the following:
To open the pump cage: Gently turn the fastener
counterclockwise by 1/4 to release the pin.
To close the pump cage: Gently press on the
fastener and turn clockwise by 1/4 to lock the pin.
Connecting the pump to a PowerFlo
Underwater Filter (sold separately)
There are two methods of connecting a PowerFlo Underwater Filter to the PowerJet
fountain pump.
Method A:
Connecting the Underwater Filter to the pump cage using the Remote
Adapter (10)
As the pond becomes dirty, the exterior surface of the pump cage
becomes covered and clogged with debris. As this occurs, dirty
pond water is gradually drawn in through the attached filter as
well. This starts the mechanical and biological filtration of the
PowerFlo Underwater Filter. The pump cage filter and remote
underwater filter working in unison will provide the longest
running time between maintenance intervals.
1) Open the pump cage by unlocking the
pin fasteners (Fig 6)
2) The pump cage has a pre-scored section
(Fig 7) at the back that must be cut out
using a suitable cutting tool
Fig.8
3) Insert the remote adapter (10) in the
opening, ensuring that the adapter is
Fig.5
properly seated over the two posts (Fig 8)
4) Close the cage, ensuring that the two halves are properly aligned and coupled,
and then lock them with the pivot pin fasteners (Fig 6)
5) Connect the pump cage to the filter using flexible hosing (not included) and a
Click-fit coupling (Fig 8)
Method B:
Connecting the Underwater Filter directly to the pump inlet using the Direct
Connection Adapter (16)
With the PowerFlo Underwater Filter connected directly to the pump inlet, water is
pulled through the filter directly into the pump, bypassing the pump cage entirely.
The PowerFlo Filter's mechanical and/or biological activity occurs immediately upon
start-up. This method is suggested for ponds with lighter debris loads. To ensure
continued pump performance the PowerFlo Underwater Filter should be cleaned
weekly. (Note: When this
method is in use the
pump's backwash feature
cannot be used)
1) Open the pump cage by
unlocking the pin
fasteners (Fig 6)
2) The pump cage has a
pre-scored section
near the handle
that must be cut out
using a suitable cutting
16
15
tool (Fig 9)
3) Attach a direct
connection adapter
(16) to the inlet of the
pump (Fig 10i or 10 ii)
4) Close the cage,
ensuring that the two
halves are properly
Fig.9
aligned and coupled,
and then lock them
14
with the pivot pin
fasteners (Fig 6)
5) Connect the inlet of the
pump to the filter using
16
flexible hosing (not
included) and a
Click-fit coupling (14)
Pump Cage Backwash
(see Fig. 11)
The backwash system allows you to connect a garden hose to the pump in order to
partially clean off any dirt and debris resting on the surface of the pump cage. This feature
ensures the temporary restoration of water flow through the pump and also brings new
water to the pond. Use the Remote Adapter (10) and Garden Hose Adapter (13) to con-
nect a garden hose to the pump cage. Connect the other end of the hose to a tap/water
Fig.6
faucet. Disconnect the pump from the main power supply.
