A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance. If the pump is used on a dirty surface, raise it slightly to reduce the amount of debris
contacting the intake. :
If less flow is desired, adjust it with the flow control. Never restrict the pump’s intake.
To clean the pump, remove the front plate and the impeller. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris.
CAUTION: The pump shaft cannot be removed. `
IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
. Check the circuit breaker and try another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
NOTE: always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed out with a garden hose.
Check the intake screen to ensure it is not clogged with debris.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed.
If the impeller area is encrusted with minerals or corrosion, gently scrape the area clean.
If your pump has been idle for an extended period, it may be necessary to apply a drop of light oil to the shaft and spin the impeller by hand until
it turns freely.
. Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life.
