Operating Instructions
Manual Control (LCD Display Controller)
The LCD controller allows direct adjustment of pump settings:
- Power Button: Turns the pump on or off.
- Flow Adjustment: Use the up/down arrows to increase or decrease the flow rate. The display will show the current power level or flow percentage.
- Mode Button: Cycle through available operating modes (e.g., constant flow, wave mode, feed mode). Refer to the controller's specific icons for mode identification.
- Feed Mode: Pressing the feed button typically pauses the pump for a set duration (e.g., 10 minutes) to allow for feeding without food being immediately drawn into filtration.
App Control (Jebao App)
Once connected to the Jebao app via Wi-Fi, you can access advanced control features:
- Remote On/Off: Control the pump remotely.
- Precise Flow Adjustment: Fine-tune the flow rate with greater precision than manual control.
- Customizable Modes: Set schedules, create custom wave patterns, and configure feed modes.
- Monitoring: View real-time pump status and performance data.
Note: Specific app features and interface may vary with updates. Refer to the in-app help or Jebao's official website for the latest information.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your pump.
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power source before any maintenance.
- Disassemble Pump: Carefully remove the pump from the water and disassemble the intake screen and impeller housing.
- Clean Impeller and Housing:
- Remove the impeller. Inspect it for any debris, calcium buildup, or damage.
- Clean the impeller and its shaft, as well as the inside of the impeller housing, using a soft brush and warm water. For stubborn calcium deposits, a mild vinegar solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
- Ensure no foreign objects are lodged in the impeller or housing.
- Inspect Components: Check the power cord for any signs of wear or damage. Inspect all O-rings and seals for cracks or deterioration. Replace if necessary.
- Reassemble: Carefully reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts are correctly seated and connections are secure.
- Frequency: Perform cleaning every 1-3 months, depending on water conditions and debris accumulation.
Important: The pump features IC electronic detection for motor protection if the rotor is blocked. Regular cleaning helps prevent such blockages.
