4. Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your MixBubole FLO900-DS Pro pump. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber or electrician.

4.1 Placement

4.2 Connecting Wastewater Inlets

• The pump features four Ø40mm universal wastewater inlets. Connect your sink, shower, washing machine, or other fixtures to these inlets using the provided plastic inlet hoses and hose clamps.
• Ensure all connections are tight and sealed to prevent leaks.
• Unused inlets must be securely capped with the provided plugs.

4.3 Connecting Discharge Outlets

• The pump has two discharge outlets. Connect the discharge pipe to one of these outlets. The other outlet should be capped if not used.
• The discharge pipe should have a minimum diameter of 1 inch (25mm) to 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
• Ensure the discharge pipe has a slight downward slope (at least 2%) towards the main sewer line to facilitate flow.
• The pump can lift wastewater vertically up to 39.4 feet and horizontally up to 394 feet.

4.4 Ventilation

• The pump includes an external exhaust valve to trap odors.
• If necessary, a 1/2-inch venting pipe can be connected to ensure proper air circulation and odor control.
• The installed activated carbon filter helps maintain an odor-free environment.

4.5 Electrical Connection

• Connect the pump to a grounded 110V-120V/60Hz power outlet.
• Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for safety.
• The innovative switch system keeps all electrical components safely above the water, minimizing the risk of electrical leakage and short circuits.

5. Operation

The MixBubole FLO900-DS Pro pump operates automatically once properly installed and connected to power.

5.1 Automatic Activation

• The pump features a fully automatic ON/OFF mechanism. It will activate when the water level inside the unit reaches approximately 3 inches.
• The pump will continue to run until the water level drops to approximately 2 inches, at which point it will automatically shut off.

5.2 PCB Delay Function

• The integrated PCB (Printed Circuit Board) provides a time delay function. This prevents the pump from cycling too frequently, especially with minor water inflows, leading to quieter operation and energy savings.

5.3 Manual Switch

• A manual button is available for drainage if needed, typically for testing or specific maintenance procedures. Refer to the 'Product Details' diagram in the Installation section for its location.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the efficient and reliable operation of your pump.

6.1 Blade Agitation and Foreign Object Removal

• In case of clogging, the cover on the top of the unit can be opened to access and agitate the blades. This allows for the removal of foreign objects without requiring complete dismantling of the pump.
• Always disconnect power before opening the cover or performing any maintenance.
