TROUBLESHOOTING
If the light fails to illuminate:
•
Check that it is getting power by testing another appliance in the same power outlet.
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, 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.
