If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
- Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is getting electrical power
- Check the pump discharge and pond tubing for kinks and obstructions
- Algae build-up can be removed with a garden hose
- Remove the pump front cover & plate to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or damaged
If the pump is not moving the water at a consistent rate:
- Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough water to function
- Maintain the desired water level by check the water daily and refilling when needed
If abnormal noise is heard during regular operation:
- Remove pump front & plate
- Use hand to grip the impeller, and gently pull the impeller/rotor assembly out of the pump housing
- Rinse the impeller/rotor assembly and the cavity with clean water to remove any debris
If any breakage or damage is found on the assembly contact your distributor for a replacement part.
Safety Instructions
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
- Always unplug the pump from the electrical outlet before cleaning or handling
- Use with clean water ONLY, do not place in other liquids
- Do not connect to any voltage other than shown on the pump
- Do not use in water above 90°F (30°C)
- Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a "drip loop". This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet
Regular Maintenance to Extend your Pump's Life:
To clean pump:
- Unplug from electrical outlet. Use a small soft brush or place under a stream of water to remove debris.
- Periodically monitor the water and change water according to water quality to prevent water from forming micro-organisms.
