1
Why maintenance is needed
The pump is low-maintenance, but every now and then you need to clean it or check the rotor for dirt or wear. Sometimes a problem can also occur, for example a drop in capacity.
2
Prepare the pump
Make sure the pond pump is taken out of the pond
Make sure the power is switched off
Make sure the hoses are removed
3
Detach the filter lid
Once you've taken the pond pump out of the pond, disconnect it from the filter lid using the clips.
4
Clean the pump and filter lid
Remove the hose tails so you can properly clean the inside of the filter lid and the inside of the pump. Also check the pump housing, as dirt can build up here too.
5
Check and clean the rotor
Check for dirt, such as small stones
Take out the rotor and check it for dirt and damage
Clean it if needed
If damaged: order a new rotor through the BluGarda web shop

Reassemble the pump
First put the rotor back in
Then fit the o-ring properly around it, as it protects against dirt and water
Put the pump housing back on and make sure the inlet and outlet face the right direction
7
Test the pump
Put the hose tail back on, attach it firmly and test whether your pump is working properly again and whether the flow is back at the right capacity.
