4.3 Bluetooth Pairing (APP Control)

  1. Download the official Jebao/Jecod APP from your device's app store.
  2. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
  3. Open the APP and follow the on-screen instructions to search for and pair with your DEP-1000 pump. The controller's LCD display will indicate successful pairing.

  • APP Control: Open the Jebao APP on your paired device. Navigate to the pump control interface and use the sliders or buttons to adjust the flow rate.

5.3 Feeding Suspension Function

The pump features a 10-minute feeding suspension mode to allow for feeding without water circulation. During this mode, the pump will temporarily stop and then automatically resume operation after 10 minutes.

  1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.
  2. Clean Impeller: Periodically remove the pump's front cover and impeller assembly. Clean any debris, algae, or calcium buildup from the impeller and its housing using a soft brush and warm water. For stubborn calcium deposits, a mild vinegar solution can be used. Rinse thoroughly.
