3. Operating Instructions

The HOCANFLO 700W Macerating Sewage Pump operates automatically. Once properly installed and connected to power, it will activate as needed when wastewater enters the unit from connected fixtures.

Normal Operation:

• When water from the toilet, sink, shower, or washing machine enters the pump, the internal macerator blades will activate to grind solids, and the pump will then discharge the wastewater.
• The pump is designed to be ultra-quiet, operating at approximately 39 dBA during normal use.
• The integrated check valve ensures that sewage does not return into the fixtures.

Self-Cleaning Function:

This pump features a patented one-button automatic debris cleaning function. Refer to your detailed manual for the exact procedure to activate this feature, which helps maintain the internal components without requiring disassembly.
