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.
The cores in the supply cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Brown = Live, Blue = Neutral, Green/Yellow = Earth.
The electric cable is permanently connected and sealed in the motor body.
If the supply cable is damaged the pump must not be used.
Do not use the supply cable to lift the pump as this may cause damage.
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.
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).
These pumps must not be used in swimming pools, or areas where people are in contact
with the water.
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.
Warning - The Minipond pump is provided with a thermal
cut out that temporarily switches off the pump in case of
overheating and the pump may automatically restart.

Locating your Minipond
The Minipond 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 1.25m (700) 2m (900/1600).
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 fountain display’ diagram below. See "Getting to
know your Minipond" for parts and descriptions.
Tip: Ensure that any fountain or feature fitted does not empty water out of pond/water feature.
Water Feature
Install as Fountain but remove pre-filter foam (if fitted) from cage. Depending on water
feature to be supplied, your Minipond can be used with the flow control and the ½” hose
fitting or ¾” hose fitting (not supplied with 700 model) which can be screwed directly
into pump body. Hose clips should be used to secure hose. Foam free cage will lower
the need for monthly maintenance and not hinder its performance for when running
a water feature.
Tip: The larger ¾" hose will give maximum performance when fitted to the
Minipond 900/1600.
INSTALLATION
600/900 series
BELL FOUNTAIN
Adjust bell by
moving head
higher for
small bell
and lower
for a wider
bell shape.
ADJUSTING THE FOUNTAIN DISPLAY
1. Adjust height by push fitting 5cm long
extension pipes onto ball joint until desired
height has been achieved.
2. Adjust flow by turning clockwise to
increase flow, anti-clockwise to
reduce flow.
3. Adjust ball joint to enable the extensions to
be moved compensating for an uneven
pond floor.

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.
Blagdon Minipond 700, 900 and 1600 are centrifugal pumps 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.
Cleaner
The use of a descaler product will give improved performance and pump life by removing
built up lime scale and waste. Use before dismantling for easier and cleaner handling.
Routine Maintenance
Carry out routine maintenance when pump flow is visibly reduced.
1. Switch off electricity.
2. Remove pump from pond (do not use the cable to lift the pump).
3. Follow steps 1 and 2.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
STEP 1: MINIPOND 700 (ROUTINE)
Firmly pull pre-filter cage from pump motor.
STEP 2: MINIPOND 700 (ROUTINE)
Remove pre-filter foam, and wash thoroughly in
fresh water.
A blocked foam will reduce the pump flow rate.
