Setup & Maintenance Pro-Tips

To keep your pump running smoothly and safely, please follow these manufacturer guidelines:

1. Never Run Dry: "Always ensure the pump is submerged in water" before turning it on to prevent motor damage.

2. Regular Cleaning: A dirty intake screen reduces performance. "Wash away the surrounded debris frequently" to maintain a steady 300 L/H flow.

3. Impeller Care: To maintain quiet operation, remove the front cover and "use a small brush to clean the cylinder" or rinse the impeller unit under running water.

4. Drip Loop Safety: During installation, ensure your power plug is inserted into a socket at a higher point than the tank to ensure water cannot backflow via the wire.
