3. Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components (pump body, suction tube, bottle adapter) are present and undamaged.
- Assemble Suction Tube: Insert the suction tube firmly into the bottom opening of the pump body. Ensure a secure fit to prevent air leaks.
- Prepare Water Bottle: Remove the cap or seal from your 3 or 5-gallon water bottle. Ensure the bottle opening is clean.
- Attach Pump to Bottle: Place the assembled pump onto the opening of the water bottle. Press down firmly to create a tight seal. The bottle adapter collar should fit snugly around the bottle neck.
- Verify Seal: Gently lift the pump by its handle to ensure it is securely attached to the bottle. If it feels loose, re-seat the pump until a firm connection is established.
4. Operating Instructions
To dispense water, simply press the pump head down repeatedly. Water will be drawn up through the suction tube and dispensed from the spout. The flow rate can be controlled by the speed and force of pumping.
- Place a cup or container under the dispensing spout.
- Press the pump head down firmly and release. Repeat this action to draw water.
- Continue pumping until the desired amount of water is dispensed.
- To stop the flow, simply cease pumping.
5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene of your water pump.
- General Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth as needed.
- Probe System Cleaning: The probe system (suction tube and internal components that contact water) is dishwasher-safe. Disassemble the suction tube from the pump body and place it in the dishwasher for thorough cleaning. Alternatively, wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling the pump or storing it.
- Storage: Store the pump in a clean, dry place when not in use.
