How to use
To operate the pump, connect a suitable hose to the outlet using the provided adapters. Ensure the pump is placed on a stable surface within the area to be drained, respecting the minimum shaft dimensions. Once the power cable is connected to a grounded 230V outlet, the automatic float switch will activate the motor when the water level rises and turn it off once the water is cleared. Always ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to prevent overheating.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the intended water source does not exceed the maximum temperature limit of 35°C.
- Ensure the drainage area meets the minimum shaft dimensions of 40 x 40 x 50 cm.
- Check that the hose diameter matches one of the supported adapter sizes (1ʺ, 1-1/4ʺ, or 1-1/2ʺ).
- Confirm access to a standard 230V power supply within reach of the 10-meter cable.
Usage recommendations
Always inspect the power cable for any signs of damage before each use. Ensure the float switch has enough space to move freely to prevent the pump from failing to activate or shut off automatically. After use in dirty water, it is recommended to flush the pump with clean water to remove any residue.
