the screen will now read 15 and the blue/second LED will be lit. If set on the LEFT or
RIGHT setting, the screen, will not be lit and pump will run continually.
13. Press the SET button until the desired time parameter is set. (a) Blue LED is
seconds. (b) Yellow LED is minutes
14. Once the desired time is set. Press the ENTER button.
15. To change time, press the SET button to desired set time and then press the ENTER
button.
16. When feeding, press the desired feeding time 8 or 16 minutes.
Note: Polario™ pumps are equipped with an automatic safety SHUT-OFF.
If the pump is on and is removed from water, it will automatically shut off. To reset, secure the pump
back on the magnet mount, then turn controller OFF then ON to reset.
MAINTENANCE:
It is the utmost importance to clean and maintain the pump monthly. Remove the Large intake strainers
and the endcaps to access the propeller. Remove the propeller which should slide off the motor easily.
Now reinstall and verify that the propeller rotates easily around the motor. If the propeller binds or there
is too much drag created: the motor, propeller and ceramic shaft need to be cleaned well. These high
speed motors attract calcium build up, let the pump soak in a water/vinegar solution for a minimum of
1 hour. (3 parts water to 1 part vinegar) Then clean well with a small brush. If the pump has not been
maintained on a regular basis or if high amount of calcium is added this process may be needed to be
repeated. If there is any noticeable damage to the propeller replace immediately.
Verify the intake strainers are free and clean of all debris
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Controller will not power up and/or pump will not turn on: It is imperative to keep the pump clean and well
maintained to ensure the pump is in good working order and the impeller and strainer clean at all times,
failure to do so will cause the 15 ML & 22 ML controller to shut down until the problem or problems are
rectified. At that time the unit may just go to default setting where as the controller is plugged in and the
green transformer light will be on however the controller will not power up or may power up for just a
few seconds then shut down. In some instances the controller’s fuse has blown in addition to going to
default setting. Replace fuse with a 22ML 3.5a/250v and 15ML 3.5a/250v slow blow fuse.
SOLUTION:
1. Check all intake strainers verifying that they are free of all debris.
2. Remove the Large intake strainers and the endcaps to access the propeller. Verify that there is not
anything blocking the propellers rotation.
3. Remove the Large intake strainers and the endcaps to access the propeller. Remove the propeller
it should slide off the motor easily. Now reinstall and verify that the propeller rotates easily around
the motor. If the propeller binds or there is too much drag created: the motor, propeller and ceramic
shaft need to be cleaned well. These high speed motors attract calcium build up, let the pump soak
in a water/vinegar solution for a minimum of 1 hour. (3 parts water to 1 part vinegar) Then clean
well with a small brush. If the pump has not been maintained on a regular basis or if high amount of
calcium is added this process may be needed to be repeated. If there is any noticeable damage to
the propeller replace.

DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLING
1. Select the mode on the controller in which the pump will
operate. There are three options: (a) “Auto” or alternating
discharge from left to right. (b) Left. (c) Right.
2.
Choose a location for the pump.
