Frequently Asked Questions - Fontanica S65 Waldbeck

How to install the Fontanica S65 pump in a pond?

Place the pump slightly above the bottom to avoid sediment. Connect suitable hoses to your pond. Make sure there are no air bubbles in the system. Then plug it into a 220 V outlet.

How to adjust the water flow of the pump?

The flow is adjusted via the blue regulating valve on the pump. Turn the valve to increase or decrease the flow as needed.

What to do if the pump does not start?

First check the power supply. If power is present, let the pump cool down if overheated. Also check that the rotor is not blocked and that there is enough water.

How to clean the filter of the Fontanica S65 pump?

Unscrew the cap nut, press the lock and remove the filter basket, filter sponge, and large basket. Clean them with clean water. Reassemble in reverse order.

Can I use the pump out of water?

No, never run the pump dry. It must always be submerged in water, otherwise the rotor and motor may be damaged.

How to store the pump in winter?

Remove the pump from the water and store it in a frost-free environment, ideally in a container filled with water to prevent the O-ring from drying out.

What to do if the water flow is insufficient?

Check that the regulating valve is open and not blocked. Clean the filter basket. If the problem persists, the impeller may be damaged and needs to be replaced.

The pump makes an abnormal noise, what to do?

This may be due to a blocked filter housing or a damaged shaft. Clean the filter and check the rotor condition. If the ceramic rod is worn, replace it.

What are the important safety instructions?

Never open the motor housing (risk of electric shock). Do not place heavy objects on the device. Unplug during storms or prolonged non-use. Only use parts approved by the manufacturer.

What is the difference between the Fontanica S45 and S65 models?

The S65 has a power of 65 W versus 45 W for the S45, a flow rate of 4500 L/h versus 2500 L/h, and a delivery height of 3.5 m versus 2.5 m.
