Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your SMA-800 USB Water Pump and Filter. This low-noise, brushless motor submersible pump is designed for use in DIY pet drinking fountains, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh, filtered water for your pets.
Key Features
- Silent Operation: Engineered for minimal noise, allowing only the gentle sound of flowing water.
- Energy Efficient: Low voltage (DC 5V/1A) and low power (1.5W) design for environmental protection and safety.
- Durable Construction: Features a high-quality, anti-corrosion shaft for extended service life.
- High Performance: Efficient and strong with a large flow rate of 160L/H.
- Easy Maintenance: The pump body can be disassembled from both ends for convenient cleaning and debris removal.
- Submersible Design: Suitable for full submersion in water.
- Certifications: CE and IP68 rated for safety and water resistance.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove the SMA-800 water pump, USB cable, and filter cottons from the packaging.
- Prepare the Filter: If not already installed, place one of the provided filter cottons around the pump's intake area. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent debris from entering the pump.
- Position the Pump: Place the submersible pump at the bottom of your pet drinking fountain reservoir. The pump is designed to be fully submerged.
- Connect Power: Route the USB power cable out of the fountain, ensuring it does not interfere with water flow or pose a tripping hazard. Connect the USB plug to a compatible DC 5V/1A USB power adapter (not included).
- Fill Fountain: Fill your pet drinking fountain with water to the recommended level, ensuring the pump is completely submerged.
- Power On: Plug the USB power adapter into a wall outlet. The pump should begin operating, circulating water through the fountain.
Operation
Once properly set up and powered, the SMA-800 pump will continuously circulate water in your pet drinking fountain. Its brushless motor ensures quiet operation, providing a peaceful environment for your pets. The pump is designed for continuous use, but always ensure the water level in the fountain is sufficient to keep the pump fully submerged.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your SMA-800 water pump and the cleanliness of your pet's drinking water.
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the USB power adapter before performing any maintenance.
- Remove Pump: Carefully remove the pump from the pet drinking fountain.
- Disassemble for Cleaning: The pump body can be disassembled from both ends. Gently open the pump housing to access the impeller and internal components.
- Clean Components: Rinse all pump components under clean running water. Use a small brush (e.g., a toothbrush) to remove any accumulated debris, hair, or slime from the impeller, shaft, and housing.
- Replace Filter Cotton: Remove the old filter cotton. Replace it with a new one to ensure effective filtration.
- Reassemble and Test: Reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts are securely in place. Place it back in the fountain, refill with fresh water, and reconnect power.
Recommended Cleaning Frequency: Clean the pump and replace the filter cotton every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you notice reduced water flow or visible debris.
