Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Periodically remove the pump from the aquarium and clean any algae or debris accumulated on the impeller and housing. Use a soft brush and aquarium-safe cleaning solutions if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before reinstallation.
• Impeller Inspection: Check the impeller for any signs of wear or damage. A damaged impeller can lead to reduced performance or increased noise.
• Magnetic Base: Ensure the magnetic base remains clean and free of debris to maintain a strong grip on the tank wall.
• Avoid Dry Running: As a critical safety warning, never operate the pump out of water. Running the pump dry can cause severe damage to the motor.
• No Exposed Copper: The pump is designed with no exposed copper elements, making it safe for both marine and freshwater environments without risk of copper leaching.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ELW-5M wave maker, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Pump Not Starting/No Flow:
  • 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.
  • Inspect the impeller for any obstructions (e.g., debris, sand) that might be preventing it from spinning. Clean if necessary.
  • Verify the pump is submerged in water and not running dry.
• Reduced Flow/Unusual Noise:
  • Clean the impeller and pump housing thoroughly to remove any buildup.
  • Check for any foreign objects lodged in the pump.
  • Ensure the pump is securely mounted and not vibrating against the tank glass.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during the setup process, as 5GHz networks may not be supported.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the wave maker controller.
  • Ensure the controller is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
  • Refer to the Jebao App's help section or the latest app instructions for specific Wi-Fi troubleshooting steps.
• Magnetic Base Not Holding:
  • Ensure both the internal and external magnets are clean and free of algae or debris.
  • Verify the tank glass thickness is within the recommended range for the magnetic base.
  • Ensure the external magnet is directly aligned with the internal pump magnet.
