2. Safety Instructions

Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and ensuring the longevity of your pump:

• Always disconnect the power supply before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or installation procedures.
• Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not operate the pump if the power cord or plug is damaged. Contact customer support for replacement.
• Never run the pump dry. Ensure it is fully submerged in water (for submersible use) or has a continuous water supply (for external use) before powering on.
• Keep children and pets away from the pump and electrical connections.
• Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Do not use the pump for flammable or corrosive liquids.

5. Setup

Follow these steps for proper installation of your FREESEA water pump:

1. Choose Nozzle: Select the appropriate nozzle (0.74 in., 1 in., or 1.25 in.) based on your desired flow rate and tubing size. Attach it securely to the pump's water outlet.
2. Connect Tubing: Connect the provided 15 ft. tubing or your own compatible tubing to the selected nozzle. Ensure a tight fit to prevent leaks.
3. Placement (Amphibious):
   • Submersible Use: Place the pump entirely underwater in your pond, aquarium, or fountain. Ensure the inlet mesh cover is clear of obstructions.
   • External (On Land) Use: Connect an inlet tube to the pump's intake port (where the mesh cover usually attaches) and an outlet tube to the nozzle. Ensure the pump is positioned below the water level of the source to allow for gravity-fed priming.
4. Connect Controller: Connect the pump's cable to the external controller using the three-core connector. Ensure the connection is firm.
5. Power Connection: Plug the power adapter into the external controller, then plug the power adapter into a grounded electrical outlet with GFCI protection.

6. Operating Instructions

The external controller provides intuitive control over the pump's functions:

• Power On/Off: Once connected to power, the pump will turn on. To turn off, disconnect from the power source.
• Mode Selection: Press the 'M' button on the controller to cycle between the following modes:
  • Pump Mode: Standard continuous water pumping.
  • Wave Mode: Creates a pulsating flow to simulate natural water movement.
• Feed Mode: Press the 'F' button to activate Feed Mode. This temporarily pauses the pump's operation, allowing fish to feed without being disturbed by water currents. The pump will resume its previous mode after a set period.
• Adjusting Water Flow: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to increase or decrease the water flow rate. There are 20 adjustable levels to fine-tune the output.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pump:

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power source before any maintenance.
2. Clean Inlet Mesh Cover: Regularly remove the inlet mesh cover and clean any accumulated debris, such as leaves, algae, or sediment. This prevents blockages and maintains flow.
3. Inspect Impeller: Carefully remove the pump's front cover and impeller assembly. Clean the impeller and its housing to remove any mineral deposits or foreign objects. Ensure the ceramic shaft is free from damage.
4. Check Tubing: Inspect the tubing for kinks, blockages, or damage. Replace if necessary.
5. Clean Controller: Wipe the external controller with a dry cloth. Do not immerse it in water.
6. Winterization (for outdoor use): In freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the water, clean it thoroughly, and store it in a dry, frost-free location.
