4. Setup and Installation

Proper setup ensures optimal performance and safety.

1. Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface in the area requiring dewatering. Ensure the pump is upright and not obstructed. The pump is suitable for shallow flooded areas such as basements, rooftops, and window wells.
2. Discharge Hose Connection: Attach a standard 5/8-inch garden hose to the pump's discharge port using the provided garden hose adapter. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent leaks. Route the discharge hose to a suitable drainage area, ensuring the water is directed away from the area being dewatered and does not create a new flooding hazard.
3. Check Valve (Optional but Recommended): For applications where the pump is lifting water vertically, installing a check valve in the discharge line is recommended. A check valve prevents water from flowing back into the area once the pump shuts off, reducing wear on the pump and preventing re-flooding.
4. Power Connection: Plug the 15-foot power cord into a grounded 115-Volt AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for added safety, especially in wet environments.

5. Operation

The Flotec IntelliPump features automatic operation for convenience.

1. Automatic Activation: Once plugged in and placed in water, the pump will periodically check for water presence. This check occurs approximately every 2-1/2 minutes.
2. Pumping Cycle: If water is detected above approximately 3/4 inch, the pump will automatically activate and begin pumping. It will continue to operate until the water level is reduced to approximately 1/4 inch, at which point it will shut off.
3. Continuous Monitoring: The pump will then resume its 2-1/2 minute monitoring cycle, ready to activate again if water levels rise.
4. Performance: The pump can achieve a maximum flow rate of 1800 GPH and a maximum lifting height of 22 feet.

Note: The pump's automatic cycling is a normal function. The pump may briefly turn on and off even if no water is present during its monitoring phase.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your IntelliPump.

• Cleaning: Periodically inspect the pump intake screen for debris such as leaves, dirt, or small stones. Unplug the pump before cleaning. Remove any obstructions to ensure unrestricted water flow.
• Storage: If storing the pump for an extended period, clean it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Store in a dry, frost-free location.
• Corrosion: The pump features engineered resin construction designed to resist corrosion. However, avoid exposing the pump to harsh chemicals or corrosive liquids.
• Power Cord: Regularly inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. If damaged, do not use the pump and contact customer support.
