Aquascape AquascapePRO 3000 Pump (20002) - Manuel (Page 5)

Check Valve:
With the skimmer properly installed in ground, feed flex PVC discharge pipe leading to the
BioFalls ® through hole in back of skimmer (see Fig.1 on page 5). Slide collar piece over PVC
FIRST, then glue pipe end cap to PVC tubing (see fig. 2 on page 5). The fitting on the bottom
of the Aquascape check valve assembly should be threaded into the pump discharge. Stand-
ing behind the Skimmer set the pump along the right side, inside the skimmer vault (see Fig.
3 on page 6). Connect the check valve assembly by sliding the collar up to the check valve
and tightening (see Fig. 4 on page 6)*.
*See installation instructions for other aspects of pump and pond maintenance.
Submergence:
It is recommended that the pump be operated in the submerged condition. The pump is
equipped with a thermal protector which will shut down the pump temporarily in low water
conditions. However, this is not recommended for extended periods of time.
Discharge:
An Aquascape check valve is recommended for each pump being used. The Aquascape check
valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive backflow can cause flooding
and/or damage to the pump.
CAUTION: If the pump is operated while the electrical cable is drooping, it may become
caught in the impeller, causing the cable to be cut, damaging the impeller or causing seep-
age in the pump, which can result in electrical leakage or shock.
