4. Setup
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location in your pond or water feature where the pump can be fully submerged and will not pump air. Ensure the location allows for easy access for maintenance.
- Attach Hose Adapter: Connect the multi-size hose adapter to the pump's outlet. Securely attach your desired hose (3/4" ID to 1-1/2" ID flexible tubing) to the appropriate barb on the adapter.
- Position Pump: Carefully place the pump into the water, ensuring it is completely submerged. The pump should rest on a stable surface to prevent movement.
- Connect Power: Route the 28-foot power cord to a grounded 110V AC outlet. Ensure the cord is not pinched or damaged.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the pump is set up and fully submerged:
- Power On: Plug the pump's power cord into the grounded electrical outlet. The pump will begin to operate immediately.
- Verify Flow: Check that water is flowing correctly through your hose to the waterfall, fountain, or filter system.
- Continuous Operation: The Jebao APP-2000 pump is designed for continuous duty operation.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pump.
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power source before performing any maintenance.
- Clean Pre-filter: Periodically inspect and clean the pre-filter housing to remove debris, leaves, and other particles that may reduce flow or cause clogging. The heavy-duty pre-filter is designed to resist clogging, but regular cleaning is still recommended.
- Inspect Impeller: Remove the pre-filter and inspect the impeller for any obstructions or damage. Clear any debris carefully. The pump features a wear-proof ceramic shaft for longer life.
- Winterization: In freezing climates, remove the pump from the pond before winter. Clean it thoroughly and store it in a frost-free location, submerged in a bucket of water if possible, to keep seals moist.
7. Troubleshooting
If your pump is not operating as expected, consult the following common issues:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start or runs intermittently. | No power, clogged impeller, thermal overload. | Check power connection. Disconnect power, clean impeller and pre-filter. Allow pump to cool if thermal overload is suspected. |
| Reduced water flow. | Clogged pre-filter, kinked hose, pump not fully submerged. | Disconnect power, clean pre-filter. Check hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure pump is fully submerged. |
| Excessive noise or vibration. | Debris in impeller, pump not stable, air in pump. | Disconnect power, clean impeller. Ensure pump is on a flat, stable surface. Verify pump is fully submerged and not drawing air. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Jebao customer support.
