Safety information
WARNING: Risk of electric shock – This pump has
not been approved for use in swimming pool or
marine areas.
WARNING: To provide continued protection against risk
of electric shock, connect to properly grounded, ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets only, using the
following guidelines:
(A) Have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded
receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor use and protected
from snow and rain.
(B) Inspect cord before using.
(C) Do not use extension cords.
(D) Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualified
electrician to ensure code compliance and user safety.
(E) Unplug pump at receptacle outlet when
not in use or before removal from pond.
(F) To reduce risk of electrical shock, all wiring and junction
connections should be made per local codes. Requirements
may vary depending on usage and location.
(G) The power cable should be protected at all times
to avoid punctures, cuts, bruises and abrasions.
(H) Never handle power cords with wet hands.
(I) Do not remove cord and strain relief. Do not connect conduit to pump.
(J) Do not use power cable to lift pump.
inStruCtionS for uSe
• Always operate the pump fully submerged. Failure to do so will
overheat the pump and cause it to fail, thus voiding the warranty.
DO NOT OPERATE DRY!
• Use only in fully assembled state. Failure to operate the pump without
the cover/strainer in place will allow large debris to enter the pump,
causing the pump to fail and voiding the warranty.
• Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled in the
impeller or other moving parts.
• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. DO NOT insert fingers
in pump with power connected.
• Do not pump hazardous materials or liquids such as oil, saltwater or
organic solvents.
• Products returned must be cleaned, sanitized, or decontaminated, as
necessary, prior to shipment so as to ensure that employees will not be
exposed to health hazards in handling said material. All applicable
laws and regulations shall apply.
ImPORTANT! Aquascape, Inc. is not responsible for losses,
injury, or death resulting from a failure to observe these
safety precautions, misuse or abuse of pumps or equipment.
typiCal inStallation
• The Aquascape Container
Water Garden Filter is
ideally sized and designed
for small to medium-sized
water features up to
approximately 50 gallons.
It’s small enough to fit into
tight spaces, yet contains
everything you need to
filter the water: a pump,
mechanical filter sponge and
biological carbon media.
• The Aquascape Container
Water Garden Filter is
designed to be operated
fully submerged.
DO NOT RUN DRY.
add either the Spray Bar or Hose Barb
attachment to the filter discharge:
• Spray Bar: The Spray Bar will ensure circulation and water
movement necessary for proper aeration when keeping fish.
• Attach the threaded elbow portion of the Spray Bar kit directly to the
Aquascape Container Water Garden Filter, then add the remaining
two pieces of the spray bar, as shown here. The far end of the spray
bar is sealed with a circular rubber plug. (To position the Spray Bar
farther from the pump add the extension between the threaded elbow
and the slip X slip elbow.)
• Position the Spray Bar horizontally at the surface of the water.
• Hose Barb Attachment: The
Hose Barb Attachment allows
you to use the Aquascape
Container Water Garden Filter
to run a variety of ornaments or
accessories. Attach the threaded
portion of the Hose Barb directly
to the filter and then attach the
hose running from the ornament
to the Hose Barb.
• Place your filter in your container water garden. The filter can
be placed in either the horizontal position on the shelf of the
container water garden, or vertically or horizontally on the bottom of
the container.
• Connect the filter to an outlet that is protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI).
• Once the filter is running and water circulating, check for any
fitting leaks.
operation and maintenanCe
• Component parts cleaning – The filter cartridge is easily separated
from the pump for maintenance purposes. Grasp the pump in one hand
and gently pull while bending the filter cartridge away from the pump.
It will pop off, allowing access to both the filter carbon cartridge and
the filter sponge.
• Inlet Screen & Filter Cleaning – We recommend inspecting your pump
on a regular basis to ensure it is functioning properly. If you notice
the water flow rate diminish, it may be due to the pump’s inlet screen
or internal filters becoming clogged with debris. In many cases the
clogged screen can be cleaned by pulling the pump out of the water to
remove debris from the pump cover. With the filter sponge and carbon
cartridge removed, rinse them in a bucket, using clean water from your
container water garden to dislodge debris. Always disconnect the
power before performing maintenance on the pump.
• Internal Pump Cleaning – If you have thoroughly cleaned the intake
screen and filters and still have diminished flow rates, then you will
need to remove the impeller cover to inspect the impeller rotor assembly.
• If your rotor assembly impeller and internal pump body have excessive
scale build-up, clean with a mild acid, such as white vinegar or non-
abrasive calcium, lime and rust remover product using a sponge or
soft-bristled brush that won’t scratch the impeller. Removing scale build
up will allow your pump to run like new again.
• Replacing the Impeller Assembly – The impeller assembly is the only
moving part on the pump and will experience wear and tear. If you’ve
cleaned the pump, as described above, and still experience poor pump
performance, it is most likely time to replace the impeller. Replacing
the impeller is extremely easy. Replacement Impeller Kits are available
through your local Aquascape dealer.
• Winter Storage – Disconnect the tubing from the discharge fitting
and remove the pump from the container water garden. Clean the
pump and inlet screens with fresh water and store the pump in a
frost-free location.
