MAINTENANCE
To clean the pump, remove the front cover and the impeller. Use a small brush and
stream of water to remove any debris.
IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
•

electrical power. NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the
pump.
•

•
Check the inlet screen to ensure it is not clogged with debris.
•
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not
broken or jammed.
•
Monthly maintenance will add to your pump's life. NOTE: 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.
