3.4 Electrical Connection
This pump requires a 220V electrical connection. A 6-foot power cord is included, but an additional plug is required and must be installed by a qualified electrician. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
- Consult a licensed electrician to ensure proper wiring and compliance with local codes.
- Connect the pump to a dedicated 220V GFCI-protected outlet.
- Ensure the earthing terminal is properly connected for safety.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Initial Startup and Priming
- Ensure all plumbing connections are secure and watertight.
- Fill the pump's filter basket housing with water until it reaches the inlet pipe level. This assists in priming.
- Replace the filter basket cover, ensuring it is tightly sealed.
- Turn on the power to the pump. The pump should begin to draw water and prime itself. This may take a few minutes.
- If the pump does not prime within 5 minutes, turn it off, check for air leaks in the suction line, and repeat the priming process.
4.2 Timer Control
The BOMGIE pool pump features a built-in 24-hour programmable timer with nine run-time options (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24 hours).

Image 4.2: Visual guide for setting the pump's timer.
Setting a Fixed Run Time (X Hours)
- Plug in the power source.
- Press the TIMER button repeatedly until the indicator light for your desired run time (X = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 24 hours) illuminates.
- Press the ON/OFF button to start the water pump. The pump will run for the selected X hours.
- The pump will automatically start at the same time every day for the set duration. For example, if set at 9 AM for 6 hours, it will run until 3 PM and then automatically restart at 9 AM the next day.
Adjusting to a Different Run Time (Y Hours)
- If the pump is currently running on a timer, press the ON/OFF button to put the pump in standby mode.
- Press and hold the TIMER button until the indicator light for your new desired run time (Y = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 24 hours) turns on.
- Press the ON/OFF button to start the water pump with the new Y-hour timer setting.
