Package Contents
- KEDSUM 1000GPH Water Pump Unit
- 5 Optional Nozzles (various sizes for inflow and outflow)
Setup
1. Nozzle Attachment
- Select the appropriate nozzle size for your application. The pump includes 4 outflow nozzles (2x 6/7 inch (22mm), 2x 1 inch (25mm)) and 1 inflow nozzle (1 inch (25mm)).
- Screw the chosen nozzle securely onto the pump's outlet. Note that inline and outlet nozzles may have different thread sizes.
2. Placement and Installation
- For Submersible Use: Place the pump entirely underwater in your fish tank, pond, or fountain. The four rubber suction cups on the bottom can be used to secure the pump to a smooth surface, reducing vibration and noise.
- For Inline (External) Use: Connect appropriate piping to both the inlet and outlet of the pump. Important: Ensure water is poured into the pump before initiating external operation to prevent dry running and damage.
