5. Operation

The ELW-10M wave maker can be operated via its manual controller or through the Jebao smartphone app.

Manual Control:

The LCD display controller allows for direct adjustment of pump settings. Refer to the controller's specific button functions for changing modes, flow intensity, and other parameters. Typically, buttons are used to cycle through different wave patterns (e.g., constant flow, pulse mode) and adjust flow rate.

Wi-Fi App Control:

Once connected to Wi-Fi, the Jebao app provides comprehensive control over your wave maker. This includes:

• Real-time adjustment of flow speed and wave patterns.
• Scheduling custom operating times and modes.
• Access to advanced features and settings not available on the manual controller.
• Monitoring device status.

Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network as the wave maker during initial setup and for reliable control.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your wave maker.

• Cleaning the Impeller: Over time, algae and debris can accumulate on the impeller, reducing efficiency. Disconnect power, remove the pump from the aquarium, and carefully disassemble the front cage to access the impeller. Clean the impeller and its housing with a soft brush and clean water.
• Housing Cleaning: Wipe down the pump housing and magnetic base with a soft cloth to remove any buildup.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cable and pump cable for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Reassembly: Ensure all parts are correctly reassembled before returning the pump to the aquarium and reconnecting power.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ELW-10M wave maker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Pump Not Operating:
  • Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into both the controller and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the pump cable is firmly connected to the controller.
  • Verify that the power outlet is functional.
  • Inspect the impeller for any obstructions or debris that might be preventing it from spinning. Clean if necessary.
• Weak Flow/Reduced Performance:
  • Clean the impeller and pump housing to remove any algae or mineral buildup.
  • Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not drawing air.
  • Check the controller settings to ensure the flow rate is set to the desired level.
• Wi-Fi Connection Issues:
  • Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The device does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4GHz network during setup.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the wave maker controller.
  • Ensure the wave maker is within range of your Wi-Fi router.

  • Ensure the magnetic base is properly aligned and securely attached to both sides of the aquarium glass.
