Operating Instructions
- Initial Start-up: After installation and ensuring the pump is fully submerged, plug the pump into the power outlet. The pump should begin circulating water immediately.
- Flow Adjustment: If your water feature allows, you can fine-tune the water flow using the adjustable knob/slider located on the pump. Adjusting the flow rate can help prevent splashing or ensure adequate circulation for your specific application.
- Continuous Operation: The pump is designed for continuous operation. Monitor water levels regularly to ensure the pump remains submerged.
- Shut Down: To turn off the pump, simply unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your pump:
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power source before any maintenance.
- Remove from Water: Carefully remove the pump from the water feature.
- Clean Filter/Impeller Area: The pump has a front filter cover. Gently remove this cover to access the impeller. Clean any debris, such as hair, algae, or mineral deposits, from the impeller and its housing using a soft brush and clean water.
- Rinse Pump: Rinse the entire pump body with clean water.
- Reassemble: Reassemble the filter cover and ensure all parts are securely in place.
- Frequency: The frequency of cleaning depends on the water quality and usage. For pet fountains, weekly cleaning is often recommended. For other water features, clean monthly or as needed.
