Congratulations on your purchase of your new Aquascape™ Aqua-

Force™ Pump! You are the owner of one of the best magnetically

driven pumps on the market today. Because of its solids handling

capabilities, the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump is designed spe-

ciﬁcally for your water garden. It is capable of transporting solids up

to 1/4” (7mm) from your pond to a waterfall, or preferably, a ﬁltration

device such as the Aquascape™ UltraKlean™ Pressure Filter.

1) Electrical Safety Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump

• Inspect your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump upon arrival for any obvious signs of dam-

age. If damage is found, return the unit to where it was purchased for an exchange.

• Always unplug the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump electrical supply before any routine

maintenance.

• Do not operate Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump with a damaged cord or plug

• Any pond related electrical equipment requires a GFI protected circuit. Always have a

qualiﬁed electrician install any electrical outlets. Test your GFI outlet on a regular basis.

• Do not use cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

• The Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump comes equipped with a 25’ power cord. This should

be enough to reach an outlet close to your pond. Do not splice or remove the pump cord as

this will void any warranty.

• During winter, if you are not using the pump as a deicer, remove the pump from the pond

and place in a bucket of pond water in a frost-free location.

• The Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump has been designed to operate submersed in pond

water. DO NOT OPERATE DRY!

• KEEP THIS MANUAL—DO NOT THROW AWAY!

3) Equipment Sizing

3.1 Sizing your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump to your pond.

• Determine the volume of your pond. If you are unsure of your total pond volume, it can be

calculated by measuring in feet the average Length of your pond, the average Width, and

the average Depth. Multiply these measurements – Length X Width X Depth – this will

give you the average volume of the pond in cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 US Gallons per

cubic foot, we can multiply Length X Width X Depth X 7.48. Example – for a pond that is

8(L) X 5(W) X 2(D) = 80 cubic feet X 7.48 = 598.4 US Gallons.

• You want to ensure that the total volume of pond water in your pond is turned over at least

once every two hours. That means in a 1500 gallon pond, the minimum size pump you

could choose would be the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump 1000.

• You also want to ensure that whatever ﬁltration system you are using can handle the

amount of water that the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump model you have chosen

will produce. For example, the Aquascape™ UltraKlean™ 1500 Pressure Filter has a

maximum ﬂow rate of 1500 GPH (Gallons Per Hour). The Aquascape™ AquaForce™

Pump—1000 or Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump—1500 may be used.

3.2 Sizing the Tubing to your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump.

• The correct sized tubing is extremely important because of the restrictions encountered

when pumping water through tubing. Tubing that is too small will affect the performance

of your pump. Refer to Table 2 for minimum tubing size. In all cases, it is better to oversize

the tubing for maximum performance.

4) Installation Instructions

4.1 Positioning the Pump

• It is important to circulate ALL of the water in your pond. To accomplish this, the

Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump should be placed on the opposite end of the pond from

your ﬁlter’s outlet.

• As the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump is solids capable, it may be placed at the bottom

of the pond to better enable the transportation of solids from the bottom of the pond to your

ﬁlter, where it may be cleaned out.

4.2 Connecting Fittings to Pump

• Remove from pump box and install the Extendable Outlet Tube on the Aquascape™ Aqua-

Force™ Pump. This ﬁtting simply threads onto the pump until hand tight.

• Remove the Hosetail from the pump box. Slide the Extendable Outlet Tube inside the

Hosetail with as much pressure as needed until o-rings are no longer visible on the ﬁtting.

The locking nut is then threaded on by turning clockwise until hand tight.

• The Hosetail can be cut to accommodate inner diameter tubing sizes of ¾”, 1”, 1 ¼”, and

1 ½”. If ¾” tubing is used, the ﬁttings may be used without any modiﬁcation.

CAUTION: If 3/4” tubing is used on any sizes of the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump, the

maximum ﬂow from the pump may not be achieved. See Figure 1. If 1” tubing is used, cut

the ﬁrst ¾” step off of the ﬁtting with a hacksaw. If 1 ¼” tubing is used, cut off both the

¾” and 1” sizes. If 1 ½” tubing is used, cut off the ¾”, 1”, and 1 ¼” sized steps. Note the

correct position of each cut. See Figure 1 for more details.

• The tubing is attached to the Hosetail mechanically by using a Stainless Steel Hose

Clamp. See Figure 2 for correct installation.

4) Installation Instructions (cont...)

4.3 Turn on the pump

• Plug pump into GFI protected outlet.

• Allow system to run for at least one hour. Double check all ﬁttings and ﬁlter for leaks. If

a leak has developed at a ﬁtting, retighten the hose clamp. Because plumbing leaks will

cause your pond to lose water, continue to monitor all ﬁttings and ﬁlter periodically to

ensure that new leaks do not develop.

• For proper pond circulation and ﬁltration, pump and ﬁlter (if using) should operate 24

hours a day. Continuous ﬁltration of the water is required to maintain clear water

5) Routine Maintenance

5.1 Routine Maintenance

• Your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump should operate under continuous duty without any

major maintenance.

• If any reduction in ﬂow is noticed, unplug the pump and remove it from the pond. Depress-

ing the two clips on the front of the pump will allow access to the main pump chamber.

Remove any debris, and if required, remove the Pump Volute Outlet by turning counter-

clockwise and pulling off. Inspect the Solids Handling Impeller for blockage.

5.2 Annual Maintenance

• Remove and inspect the impeller by depressing the tabs and removing the Upper Pump

Housing. Remove the Pump Volute Outlet by turning it counter-clockwise. Inspect the

Solids Handling Impeller for damage and replace if necessary.

5.3 Winter Storage

• In most climates, your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump may operate year-round.

• If operated year round, we recommend moving the pump from the bottom of the pond to a

higher level to avoid disturbing the thermal layers in the pond.

• If not operating the pond year-round, we recommend removing the pump from the pond

and placing in a bucket of pond water in a frost-free location.

6) Using the Pump as a Winter Device

• The Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump can be used to keep a hole open in the ice so that

proper gas exchange can orrur.

• Place the pump on the ﬁrst or second shelf of the pond and extend the discharge so that it

is a few inches below the water level.

• When plugged in, the pump should agitate the surface of the water, ensuring that a hole

stays open in the ice.

• During periods of extreme cold an “ice dome” may form over the pump. If this happens it

may be necessary to open up the hole in the ice.

99443 AquaForce Instructions FIN7 7 6/9/06 2:02:02 PM

7) Troubleshooting

7.1 Pump is not operating

• Ensure pump is plugged into a properly grounded and operational outlet. Outlet should

be GFI protected. Ensure that the GFI outlet has not reset due to ambient moisture. Press

“Test” and then “Reset” on the GFI outlet.

• Ensure Solids Handling Impeller is able to move freely. The impeller should be able

to move with some effort inside the pump housing. If it is jammed with debris, follow

instructions under Routine Maintenance to expose and check the Impeller.

7.2 Reduced ﬂow from pump

• Ensure that the Upper Pump Housing and the Lower Pump Housing is free of

leaves and debris.

• Check pipe and plumbing for any possible kinks or blockages.
