Basic Installation Guidelines:

Unit Assembly: Unit arrives configured as the Aqua Gem pattern with minimal assembly required. Simply insert the motor cartridge into the float and attach with locking ring and attach debris screen, if Aqua Blast pattern is preferred make adjustments prior to placing in water a 10mm socket or wrench will be needed. Estimated time to assemble is 10-20 minutes. All hardware is provided, and a medium Phillips head screwdriver will be needed to fasten locking ring.
Mini Power Control Center (PCC) Installation: Although the PCC is rated for residential, it’s recommended to have a qualified electrician on-site to have it installed. (PCC is standard for all domestic/60Hz applications.)
Power Cable: Power cable should be buried or trenched in conduit per local codes, and run at least 3ft or 1m out into the pond/basin.
Anchor/Mooring Unit in Water: Float unit into the water and either anchor or moor it in to place with stainless steel cables or polypropylene rope. For ponds that experience fluctuating water levels we recommend that you moor the unit into its location. Mooring the unit can often be done from the shoreline, while a boat is typically required when anchoring.

The Aqua Series carries an all inclusive 2 year warranty. This warranty extends to the complete package including the unit, cable and power control center.

Warranty and service can be performed by more than 100 factory trained and certified Otterbine Service Centers found worldwide, or by Otterbine directly. A copy of the warranty statement for this product can be found within the owner’s manual.

Winterization

The Aqua Series can remain in the water during the winter in freezing climates but will need to run a minimum of 12 hours per day, and should run 24 hours per day when temperatures drop below 20° Fahrenheit or -7° Celcius.
