Supreme Hy-Drive Aquarium Pumps

Powerful and energy-efficient pumps for larger custom aquarium filtration systems. Hy-Drive pumps boast hybrid technology that combines the power of direct drive pumps and the energy efficiency and safety of magnetic drive pumps. These versatile pumps can be used submerged or inline, positioned horizontally or vertically, to drive larger aquarium filtration systems. 316 grade stainless steel pump rotor means greater resistance to corrosion and wear for continuous operation in freshwater and saltwater aquarium systems.

Care and Operating Instructions
Operation Precautions
Never run pump dry. Only use this pump with clean water. It is not intended to move water containing large non-dissolved solids. Never use pump for liquids other than water. Never remove the plug or shorten the power cord. Keep the connectors (plug and socket) dry. The pump is not suitable for swimming pools, swimming ponds and other situations where persons could make bodily contact with water.

Operation Instructions

• Attach hoses using Teflon® tape on fittings. This will aid in future disassembly.
• Make certain that all electrical connections have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) installed.
• If pump is to be installed submerged, use a separate pump bag or skimmer to help protect the intake from large debris getting drawn into the impeller. To avoid pulling air into the pump, the pump should be submerged at least 6 inches below the water surface.
• If pump is used inline, place it a minimum of 6 inches below water line otherwise it will be necessary to prime it. A separate inline check valve is strongly recommended to prevent loss of prime if power is interrupted.

Maintenance & Cleaning
This pump does not require any lubrication or special maintenance. Periodically cleaning the impeller will maintain pump performance and extend pump life.

1. Completely disconnect pump from power supply.
2. Remove hoses and bring pump to clear work area.
3. Pull off intake strainer and strainer adapter.
4. Remove screws to detach impeller housing. Be careful not to lose nuts in motor housing recesses.
5. Pull the impeller out from the chamber.
6. Clean impeller with freshwater only, never any solvents.
7. Reverse steps to reassemble. If rubber seal detaches, press it back into the track on the motor housing. Pay careful attention to align openings on the Impeller Assembly Plate with Molded Pegs on motor housing.

Troubleshooting

General Information
This continuous duty pump is designed to move large volumes of water silently and efficiently through filtration systems or a pond waterfall, stream, or fountain. It incorporates a high efficiency vortex impeller in conjunction with a ceramic impeller shaft and bearings to provide energy savings while maintaining high output.

This pump can be used submersed or inline, indoors or outdoors. Note that when used inline it should be placed below the water level since it is not self-priming. Never run this pump dry.

Rotor assembly is removable for simple cleaning maintenance. The unique design reduces the frequency of pump cleaning while maintaining optimum water flow. Overload protection is built in by means of a self resetting thermal overload switch.
