Fixed Flow Rate Submersible or Inline Pumps are quality products that are designed
using the very latest pump technology. These pumps are suitable for use in hydroponic systems,
ponds, aquariums, fountains and filter systems. The pumps are designed with “synchronous
technology,” where electrical parts are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin. This unit is constructed
with high quality, fully tested and rated components to ensure the best performance possible.
Features include:
• Driven by a high power rare earth rotor magnet.
• Only 1 moving part for trouble-free operation.
• Built-in “sponge” filter protects ceramic shaft
and impeller.
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor use with fresh
or saltwater.
• Never let the pump run dry. Doing so will damage pump and could void the warranty.
• Place pump in minimum of 6 inches and a maximum of 3 feet below water surface.
• Always place on stable surfaces that are free from sludge, sand and other debris.
Operating Instructions
HELPFUL HINTS
SUBMERSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
This pump is designed to operate when completely submerged in water.
CAUTION: Do not put plug and pump into water together. If plug drops into water, power supply
should be turned off to avoid electric shock. Pump can be used indoors or outdoors. Supply cord
cannot be changed or replaced. It cannot be bent or used to carry the pump. If cord is damaged, do
not use pump. Do not reach for pump while it is submerged and connected to a power supply.
Basic Setup:
1. Make sure your pump is sized correctly for the volume of water to be moved and that it can
safely and effectively operate in your system.
2. Install outflow or inflow fittings onto the pump that are appropriate for your application and that
correctly fit any tubing connected to them.
3. Connect tubing, making sure the inner diameter of the tubing matches the outside diameter
of the fittings installed.
4. Double check to make sure all fittings are secure and that Strainer, Filter and Cover are
installed correctly.
6. Fill your system with water.
6. Connect the pump’s grounded power plug to a grounded electrical outlet.
