INSTALLATION
Electrical installation
The power supply must meet the specifications on the product.
The pump is intended to be used with either a weather-proof
cable connector or permanently connected to the fixed wiring
in the main system other than by means of a plug and socket.

INSTALLATION
For permanent installations to the mains supply, it is necessary to conform to
the regulations of the local electricity authority and this would include the use
of a metal or plastic conduit to protect the cable.
Attention has been drawn to the fact that special rules may exist concerning
the installation of your pond pump (i.e. local building regulations).

The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following
code: Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.

These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are
in contact with the water.

The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body.
If the supply cable is damaged the pump must not be used.

Always disconnect the mains electricity supply whilst the equipment is being
installed, repaired, maintained or handled. Consult a qualified electrician if in
any doubt about wiring this product to the main supply.

Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.

IMPORTANT: Please note all electrical work on garden lighting and
power installations must comply with part P of the building regulations.
Failure to comply is a criminal offence. If the installation of this product
is not carried out by a competent electrician who is registered under the
Part P self-certification scheme then you must notify the local building
control department before work begins. For further information and
guidance on this matter and other electrical installations in your home
that might be covered by the relevant legislation, contact your local
authorities building control department.

WARNING - THIS PUMP MUST BE EARTHED
A Residual Current Device (RCD), also know as the Residual
Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), with a tripping current not
exceeding 30mA must be installed in the supply circuit.
A means of disconnection from the supply having a contact separation
of at least 3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Warning - The pond pump is provided with a thermal
cut out that temporarily switches off the pump in case of
overheating and the pump may automatically restart.
Never run the pump out of water as this may cause irreparable damage.

Locating your Aquagarden pump
The Aquagarden pump should be located on a firm and level base in the
pond/water feature in a depth of at least 10cm, but no more than 2m.
It is advisable to keep the pump off the bottom of the pond to avoid silt
entering the pump causing excessive wear and increasing pre-filter cleaning.

Fountain
Make sure there is ample cable from mains supply. Place pump in desired
location. Add Fountain extension pipes so fountain head is above surface of
the pond. Fountain height can now be adjusted, see ‘Adjusting flow control’
diagram below. See "Getting to know your Aquagarden" for parts and
descriptions.
If using the Daisy or Double Daisy Jet, cleaning of the jets will be reduced by
inserting the optional pre-filter foam included.
Tip: Ensure that any fountain, waterfall, filter or feature fitted does not empty
water out of pond/water feature. In windy conditions it may be necessary to shut
off or reduce the height of your fountain display to prevent water loss. Also see
the explanatory diagram on the top face of your Aquagarden pump carton.

INSTALLATION
ADJUSTING FLOW CONTROL
Turn clockwise to increase,
anti-clockwise to
reduce flow.

BELL FOUNTAIN
Adjust bell by
moving head higher
for small bell and
lower for a wider
bell shape.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Warning - Failure to carry out routine maintenance leaving the
pump under reduced or no flow conditions for long periods
(i.e. blocked pre-filter) will result in a shorter pump life and
will invalidate the guarantee.

Aquagarden 2500 is a centrifugal pump with a magnetic impeller
movement driven by a watertight synchronous motor. They require minimum
cleaning, only periodic cleaning of the pre-filter and impeller is necessary.

Routine Maintenance
Tip: Ensure that any fountain or feature fitted does not empty water out of
pond/water feature. The Bell Jet and Foam Jets do not need the foam pre-filter
so require little maintenance when used with the pre-filter cage only.

Carry out routine maintenance when pump flow is visibly reduced.

Water Feature

3. Remove the front of the pre-filter cage by depressing the button and pulling
apart. Wash the cage thoroughly in fresh water. A blocked pre-filter will
reduce pump flow. Follow steps 1 and 2.

Install as for Fountain. Depending on water feature to be supplied, your pond
pump can be used with the 1/2" hose fitting or 3/4" outlet hose fitting which
can be screwed directly into pump body. Hose clips should be used to secure
hose.
Tip: The larger 1" hose will give maximum performance when fitted.

1. Switch off electricity.
2. Remove pump from pond (do not use the cable to lift the pump).

STEP 1: POND PUMP 2500 (ROUTINE)
Firmly pull pre-filter cage from pump
motor.

STEP 2: POND PUMP 2500 (ROUTINE)
Remove pre-filter foam (if fitted), and
wash thoroughly in fresh water. The
pre-filter is for use with Daisy Jets only.
A blocked foam will reduce the pump
flow rate.

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

TROUBLESHOOTING

Monthly Maintenance

Problem

Following as for Routine Maintenance (steps 1 and 2) and then
steps 3, 4 and 5.

Low flow from pump
1. Follow routine cleaning procedure if no improvement.

STEP 3: POND PUMP 2500 (MONTHLY)
Remove impeller
cover by turning
anti-clockwise
to release lock.
Then pull firmly
away from
pump motor
and cage.

STEP 4: POND PUMP 2500 (MONTHLY)
Remove impeller
from pump motor.
Wash parts with
fresh water carefully.

Annual Maintenance
Dismantle pump and examine all parts for wear or damage, replacing any
parts that show obvious wear and/or damage. (See getting to know your pump
for parts/description and replacement parts codes.) Particular care should be
taken to examine the cable entry point and the cable; if there is any sign of
damage the pump should be discarded.

Winter Storage
The pump can be run in the pond during the winter but care should be taken
to ensure that it is fully immersed and cannot freeze solid. If the pump is not
used during the winter, follow annual maintenance procedure and store frostfree in the house or garage until spring.

2. Follow monthly cleaning procedure.
3. Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed
or kinked.
4. Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (called
Head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the
more wear on the pump.
5. Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest
distance and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss
of flow and so increases pump flow rates.

Poor Fountain performance
• Reduced height.
• Jets blocked.
Use foam insert with Daisy Jets
for lower maintenance.

DAISY
To clean, remove
head and rinse.
Use optional foam
pre-filter with Daisy
Jet heads.

No flow from pump
1. Check power supply is on.
2. Check fuse and wiring (SEE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Follow low flow procedure as above.
If none of the above works contact Interpet (Blagdon) Consumer Advice
Department (See Faults problem procedure Page 12).
