EasyPond 7000 Pump and Filter Set

FlowMaster Pump

The FlowMaster 4500 is provided with a secondary strainer cage attached. This provides a filter/guard to prevent debris from entering the pump unit; this sits in front of your pump’s impellor.

It is important that this secondary cage should be affixed whilst using the fountain attachment as this will prevent small particles from entering the pump and clogging up the fountainhead.

The fountain attachment is not an essential fitment unless you intend have a fountain running and the majority of our customers use this pump for filtering only. In this case you should follow the instructions below:

Using The Pump to Power The Filter Only

- Unpack all components carefully.
- Unscrew the screw to the lower rear of the pump; this holds the single cage fitment.
- Depress the four retaining clips to the outer of the pump and this will allow you to separate the outer pump housing and allow access to the pump.
- Simply twist and pull the mesh cage off the front of the pump (and store for safekeeping).
- Once you have removed the pump housing clip the cage lid back into position and secure with the housing screw.
- In order to continue with the set up of the pump please fit the supplied multi-stage hosetail (ensuring rubber washer is pushed into the thread).
- This can then be cut down to fit the relevant hose size, i.e. 25x32 or 40mm.

Using The Pump to Power a Fountain AND Filter

If you wish to use both functions of the FlowMaster pump simultaneously you will need to set up in preparation for both.

The fountain kit is supplied in this box and can be set up first as per the enclosed instructions. Once assembled the fountain can be threaded to the outlet marked to the pump cage. A selection of fountain heads are provided to create a range of effects an can be changed at will.

To enable the pump to flow to a filter there also needs to be a flexible hose attached to the 25mm outlet positioned on the side of the T' piece. The flow regulator to the side of this T' piece allows you to adjust the flow to the fountain piece and/or the main pump unit to allow filtration.

Your pond pump and UVC filter are powered by electricity, meaning they need to be connected to the mains supply. Special care must be taken during this part of the installation process and we recommend consulting an electrician to acquire assistance.

For maximum flow performance (reduced friction loss) it is recommended that the lowest unused section of all pump and filter hosetails be removed if possible.
