oPeration and maintenanCe
• The height of the fountain is determined
by several factors:
– pump size, as estimated in the earlier table
– How deep the pump is positioned in the water;
lowering the pump increases the flow since the
discharge is also lowered
– the two valve adjustments on the Diverter Valve (see
information above)
• To maintain the correct flow and fountain head patterns,
both the fountain heads and the pump screens will require
occasional cleaning.
• Pump Cage - Do not remove the upper or lower pump cage
while operating the pump. failure to operate the pump
without the filter cage or operating the pump with a broken
cage will allow large debris to enter the pump causing the
pump to fail voiding the warranty.
• Pump Cage Cleaning - we recommend inspecting your
AquaJet ™ on a regular basis to make sure it is functioning
properly. if you notice the water flow rate diminish it may
be due to the pump’s filter cage becoming clogged with
debris. Always disconnect the power before performing
maintenance on the pump. in many cases the clogged filter
cage can be cleaned by simply reaching in the pond or
pulling the pump out of the water and removing debris from
the filter cage. the pump can also be removed from the
pond and the debris stuck to the pump filter cage can be
removed or sprayed off with a garden hose.
• If the pump is
not on a level
base, loosen the
riser stem collar
and adjust the
orientation of
the riser stem to
keep the fountain
head vertical.
• If the pump is not on a level base, loosen the riser stem
collar and adjust the orientation of the riser stem to keep the
fountain head vertical.
• If not using the Fountain Kit, the Diverter Valve or
the Multi-Hose Adapter can be used to supply
water to an accessory such as a spitter, external
filter or waterfall.
• if using the diverter or multi-Hose adapter to supply
water to an additional filter, fountain or waterfall, it is
recommended to not position the pump in the deepest
portion of the pond. this will protect the fish by preventing
the pond from completely draining in case of leak in the
plumbing or filter, fountain or waterfall. bricks or stones can
be used if needed to raise the pump off the bottom.
• Connect pump to an outlet that is protected by a ground
fault interrupter. once the pump is running and water
circulating through the filter(s) or waterfall, check for any
fitting or waterfall leaks where the external connections
are made.
