Airlock

 

 

 

 

 

This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water. However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the pump 
(a condition called “airlock”), the pump cannot pump water out even though the pump is completely submerged. This pump has an airlock 
hole. Air flows out through the anti-airlock hole, eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate properly. If debris blocks the 
anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, reinstall the pump, and restart the pump.   
If the pump is suddenly dropped into water, it might take a couple minutes to squeeze air out through the anti-airlock hole. 
Alternately, drain the water out of the garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plug in the power cord, restarting the 
pump.
