DO NOT SPRAY  A CONCENTRATED WATER JET ON THE 

PUMP.

 This action will force water into the seals and damage the pump electronics. Let the hose run into the unit to 

flush it. The pump will activate and send this fine debris to your garden. This fine debris will not be noticeable or harm 
your garden in any way. Should you however not wish this debris to be used in the garden, switch off the power to 
the unit and let the debris overflow to the sewer. This will take a few minutes but will flush your unit. To assist with 
the  cleaning  process,  you  may  put  three  to  four  cups  of  white  vinegar  into  the  water  for  an  hour  before  flushing. 
Vinegar  is  an  excellent  ecological  friendly  cleaning  product  that  will  help  sterilise  your  unit  and  keep  it  in  pristine 
condition. 

 
 

 

Garden ResQ also recommends that the general appearance and external components be cleaned  on an as needed 
basis to maximise the general appearance and life of the product. 

 

 
Trouble Shooting: 
 

 

 
Issue 

 
Resolution 
 

Water is not entering the GardenResQ unit 

 
Check the plumbing into the unit. If a diverter valve is connected ensure 
that  is  in  the  correct  position  to  divert  water  into  the  unit.  If  it  is  and 
water  is  not  entering  the  unit,  contact  your  plumber  as  it  is  likely  that 
you have a broken pipe. 
 

 
Water  is  entering  the  unit,  however  the  pump  is 
not operating. 
 

 
Check  that  the  power  is  on,  and  that  the  unit  is  plugged  in.  Check  the 
float  switch  and  ensure  it  is  clean  and  free  from  debris  that  may  be 
preventing  it  from  operating  effectively.  On  the  Maxi,  you  may  be 
required  to  shorten  the  travel  on  the  float  switch.  This  is  done  by 
reducing the float switch cable length travel by one or two centimetres 
at the securing ties. DO NOT CUT THIS CABLE  
 

 
The  pump  is  working  correctly,  however  a  large 
volume of water is exiting the unit via the return to 
sewer outlet 

 
Remove  the  sprayer/sprinkler  connection  to  your  irrigation  and  allow 
the water flow freely from the unit or irrigation pipe. If the water flows 
freely the irrigation pipe may contain blockages and should be checked. 
Please also ensure that your filter is clean
