Operating Instructions
- Initial Start-up: Once plugged in, the pump will begin to operate, circulating water through your fountain.
- Water Level: Always ensure the water level in your fountain is sufficient to keep the pump fully submerged. Operating the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty.
- Flow Rate: The Jebao PP-300LV is a 4-speed pump. If your fountain or application requires a specific flow rate, ensure the pump is compatible with any external flow control mechanisms your fountain may have. The pump's maximum flow rate is 40 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) and maximum head is 19 inches (0-50 cm).
- Shut Down: To turn off the pump, simply unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your pump and ensure optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically disconnect the pump from power and remove it from the fountain. Disassemble the pump housing (if applicable) and clean the impeller and intake screen to remove any debris, algae, or mineral buildup. Use a soft brush and clean water.
- Water Quality: Maintain clean water in your fountain to prevent clogging and reduce wear on the pump.
- Winterization: If using the pump outdoors in freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the water and store it in a dry, frost-free location.
