Product Features
- Automatic On/Off: Built-in smart electronic sensor automatically turns on when 1-1/2'' water is detected and turns off when water level falls below 1/4''.
- Efficient Water Removal: 1/4 HP motor moves up to 1980 gallons per hour. Bottom suction design filters debris and removes water down to a depth of 1/4''.
- Longevity: Built-in temperature control core prevents dry burning and protects the pump from damage.
- Compatibility: Equipped with a 10 ft three-prong plug power cord, 1'' NPT discharge, and 3/4'' garden hose adapter with check valve.

Operating Instructions
The Acquaer Automatic Sump Pump operates automatically based on water levels.
- Once plugged in and submerged, the pump will automatically turn on when the water level reaches approximately 1-1/2 inches above the sensor.
- The pump will continue to operate, removing water, until the water level drops below approximately 1/4 inch, at which point it will automatically turn off.
- The bottom suction design allows for efficient water removal down to 1/4 inch depth.

Performance Data
The pump's flow rate varies with the total head (vertical lift and friction loss in the hose).
| Total Head (ft) | Flow Rate (GPH) |
|---|---|
| 5 ft | 1980 GPH |
| 10 ft | 1870 GPH |
| 15 ft | 1550 GPH |
| 25 ft | 1049 GPH |

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the pump's lifespan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the strainer base to prevent clogging from debris. The strainer base is designed for easy cleaning without tools or screws.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, clean the pump thoroughly, drain all water, and store it in a dry, protected area.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power; Water level too low; Clogged intake. | Check power connection; Ensure water level is above 1-1/2 inches; Clean strainer base. |
| Pump runs but no water flows | Air lock; Clogged discharge hose; Pump not fully submerged. | Slightly tilt pump to release air; Clear hose obstruction; Ensure pump is fully submerged. |
| Pump cycles too frequently | Sensor probes obstructed; Insufficient water to maintain operation. | Disconnect power and inspect sensor probes for debris; Ensure adequate water volume for continuous operation. |
