CARE AND MAINTENANCE – PUMP
•
Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is
operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected.
•
Before cleaning, always disconnect the pump from the power source.
•
Remove all parts from the pump and clean in warm, soapy water.
•
Disassemble the pump cover and remove the impeller cover to expose the impeller assembly.
Remove the impeller assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades. Use a soft cloth or brush
to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE – LIGHT
•
Periodically, your light may require cleaning for optimal performance.
•
Cleaning should only be done with warm soapy water. Be sure to use biodegradable soap.
•
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the conditions of the environment where the light is used.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the pump fails to operate:
•
Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in, the pump is getting power and the pump is
fully submerged.
•
Check the pump outlet and any tubing, fountains, spitters etc. for kinks or obstructions.
•
Remove the inlet screen and/or pump cover, and impeller cover to expose the impeller. Turn
the impeller to ensure that it is not broken or jammed.
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, water sensor and the housing are clean.
•
Adjust flow control.
