Automatic Operation
The pump will only turn on if there is approximately 2 in. of water around the pump. Water must
make contact with the sensor probes of the pump in order for it to turn on.
When the pump removes water down to approximately 2/5 in., the pump will run for an additional 10
seconds and then turn off.
Note:
If the pump does not turn off, remove the pump and check to make sure that water or other
debris is not still contacting the sensor probes.
The pump can remain plugged in and will automatically turn back on when water reaches approximately
2 in. again.
