3. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper setup and installation of your MSELTOS Sump Pump:
- Install Sponge Filter: Locate the sponge filter and install it onto the pump's intake port. This prevents debris from entering the pump and ensures smooth operation.
- Priming the Pump: Before connecting the tubing, it is crucial to prime the pump. Submerge the pump completely in water to eliminate any trapped air. Connect the power supply briefly to allow the pump to draw water and expel air. Once water is consistently flowing, the pump is primed.
- Connect Tubing: Attach the provided 6 ft tubing (1/3 inch I.D.) to the pump's outlet nozzle. Ensure the connection is secure and the tubing is free of kinks to maintain optimal water flow.
- Placement: Place the pump inside the water reservoir of your dehumidifier, AC unit, or other water collection area. The pump's compact size allows it to fit into small spaces. Ensure the pump is fully submerged when operating.
- Route Drainage Line: Route the tubing to a suitable drainage location, such as a sink, floor drain, or outdoors. The pump can lift water up to 5 feet vertically.
- Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the pump and then plug it into a standard 100V-240V electrical outlet. The pump will automatically begin operation when the water level reaches the activation sensor.

6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MSELTOS Sump Pump, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump not turning on. | No power; water level too low; clogged intake. | Check power connection. Ensure water level reaches 1.4 inches. Clean sponge filter. |
| Pump runs but no water is discharged. | Pump not primed; kinked or blocked tubing; insufficient water. | Re-prime the pump (submerge fully and power on briefly). Check tubing for obstructions. Ensure sufficient water in reservoir. |
| Pump runs continuously. | Lower water sensor obstructed or faulty; continuous water inflow. | Check lower sensor for debris. Verify water inflow rate is not exceeding pump capacity. |
| Excessive noise during operation. | Air in pump; pump not stable; debris in pump. | Re-prime the pump. Ensure pump is stable on suction cups. Clean sponge filter and check for internal debris. |
