CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Clean the pump barrier bag and (if necessary the pump) regularly depending upon the environment
in which it is operated. A drop in water flow is an indication that your pump barrier bag and/or pump
require cleaning. The pump barrier bag not only protects your pump but significantly reduces the
need for pump maintenance.
• Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
• Remove any large debris from pump barrier bag. Use a garden hose to rinse off any other dirt
from the pump barrier bag.
• Remove all parts from the pump and clean in warm, soapy water.
• Disassemble the screen and remove the impeller housing to expose the impeller assembly.
Remove the impeller assembly by pulling on the back round plate behind the impeller.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
Refer to the diagram in the replacement parts list.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the pump fails to operate:
• Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in and the pump is getting power.
• Check the pump outlet and any tubing, fountains, spitters, etc., for kinks or obstructions.
• Remove the inlet screen and/or pump cover, and impeller housing to expose the impeller. Turn
the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed. Also check to make sure that the
ceramic shaft or bearings are not broken.
If the performance of the pump is not satisfactory or the pump does not flow evenly:
• Check to make sure the pump is completely submerged in water.
• Check to make sure the impeller and the housing are clean.
• Check to make sure the pump barrier bag is clean.
