To be able to install the pump safely and tidily do the following ...
Take the pump hose tail from the pump
box and cut off the 12mm (1/2inch) section. Screw it into the pump and connect
the hose to it using one of the hose-clips. Place the pump in the pond on the
bottom farthest away from where the filter box will be situated. Tie and tape
the pump cable to the garden wire and draw it through the conduit.
