Care and Maintenance
Simple steps can be taken to ensure a long life from your pond. Clean your pump regularly to prevent build up. If your pump stops working, unplug it and take it out of the pond. Follow the care instructions given in your pump kit box. If there is a lot of calcium build up on your pump it may stop working. To clean, simply place the pump motor (remove attachments) in vinegar water then plug it in. Let the pump run for about 30 seconds. Once cleaned rinse your pump with water and place back in pond.
