Installation Instructions

OPERATION

1. Make sure there is ample water in your application for the pump. It is recommended there should be

at least 3,000-4,000 gallons in the area you are pumping so the pump does not recycle the water too

quickly.

2. Make certain the water level covers the top of the pump. This pump is water-cooled, and for

continuous operation, water must cover the pump to prevent the motor from overheating.

3. Plug the pump into a 115-volt GFCI power outlet. The pump will start operating.

4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too

hot, the overload protector will shut off the pump before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled

sufficiently, the overload protector will reset and the motor will restart. Overuse of this feature can

permanently damage the motor.

NOTE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and

after the motor cools down, check to find the problem. Low voltage, a long undersized extension cord,

clogged impeller, blocked screen or water that is too hot can cause the motor to overheat. See trouble

shooting section.

5. If the pump is operating and suddenly no water comes out of the discharge hose, shut the pump off

immediately. The water level is probably very low or the pump is clogged.

6. If the flow rate is too high, adjust by using a double union ball valve. DO NOT restrict the intake

screen.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

This pump can run for 24 hours per day for up to 18-24 months, but its life can be extended with some

basic preventative maintenance. WARNING: Unplug the pump from the power source before all

maintenance.

EVERY 3 MONTHS – Check the intake screen and impeller for clogs

The screen and impeller must be free of clogs to deliver full performance. If clogged, perform the below

steps:

1. Remove the strainer by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Unscrew the pump casing screws (Figure 1) and remove the pump casing.

3. Remove the impeller off the shaft (Figure 2) with a 17 mm socket wrench while bracing the impeller

with a flathead screwdriver.

4. Replace the impeller if damaged or worn (call 1-844-251-7445 for replacement orders).
