8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Mellif Brushless Water Transfer Pump, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not turn on. | Battery not installed correctly or discharged. | Ensure battery is fully charged and properly seated. |
| Low or no water flow. | Clogged suction strainer or kinked hose. Air in the system. | Check and clean the suction strainer. Straighten any kinks in the hose. Ensure the inlet hose is fully submerged. |
| Pump runs but no water is discharged. | Inlet hose not submerged or air leak in the system. | Ensure the inlet hose is fully submerged in water. Check all hose connections for tightness. Allow time for self-priming. |
| Reduced operating time. | Battery degradation or operating at highest flow setting. | Ensure battery is fully charged. Consider using a higher capacity battery (e.g., 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah) for longer runtimes. |
