SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Our energy efficient pumps are simple and
convenient to use. Connect the pump to the tubing
with the appropriate outlet then plug into a
grounded GFCI receptacle.
While operating, ensure the pump is completely
submersed to achieve proper water flow and to
prevent overheating of the pump.
To reduce risk of electric shock:
●
Always unplug the pump from the electric outlet
before cleaning and handling.
●
Use with clean water only. Pump has been
approved for use with water only. Never let the
pump run dry.
●
Pump includes grounded conductor and plug;
pump must be connected to a proper ground
outlet to reduce the risk of electric shock.
●
Do not use the pump in water with temperatures
above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or 30 degrees Celsius.
●
Avoid connecting the power supply in a location
that water may drip into the electrical outlet. To
prevent this, always use a “drip loop” in the cord.
●
Do not lift, carry, or pull the pump by the power
cord.
●
Do not attempt to modify, alter or replace the
pump cord. If it sustains damage, discontinue use
immediately
To clean the pump
Unplug the pump from the electrical outlet.
Use a
small soft brush or water pressure to
remove any debris or build-up on the pump.
To extend the life of your pump:
The water should be changed at first sight of
debris, microorganism build-up or discoloration
in the water. The water should be changed
regularly to prevent this occurrence.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the pump fails to operate, please
check the following:
●
Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet
to make sure that the pump is receiving electrical
power .
●
Disconnect the power supply and check the
pump discharge and tubing for kinks
and/or obstructions that may prevent water flow.
●
Algae and microorganism buildup affecting
operation can be removed using a soft brush or
water or spray from a garden hose.
●
In necessary, remove the pump front cover &
plate to access the impeller. Turn the rotor to
ensure it is not broken or jammed. Ensure the
pump is disconnected from the electrical supply
before inspecting the impeller.
If the pump is operating at a reduced capacity:
●
Check the water level to make sure the pump
is completely submerged and verify that there are
no kinks or obstructions to the water flow.
If the pump is making an abnormal noise:
●
First disconnect the power supply and remove
the pump front cover and plate. Gently pull the
impeller/rotor assembly out of the pump housing.
Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and the
cavity with clean water
.
If breakage or surface
damage is found on the assembly, contact your
distributor for replacement part
.
