Image: Visual guide for installing the pump in Submersible Mode (fully submerged) and Ground Mode (external, with the pump below the water line).

Submersible Mode:

Install the pump completely underwater. The IPX8 submersible design ensures safe operation. Use the suction cups to secure the pump to a clean, flat surface at the bottom of your pond or aquarium.

Ground Mode (External Installation):

For ground mode, install the pump lower than the pool/tank water line to ensure water flows to the inlet automatically. This pump does not have a self-priming function. Seal the 1.5-inch PVC connectors with PTFE tape for a secure, leak-free connection. Install the pump in a cool place to prevent overheating. Do not continuously run the pump for over 24 hours in Ground Mode, especially in high-temperature environments, to ensure normal service life.

6. ఆపరేటింగ్ సూచనలు

Once installed and connected, the pump operates simply:

  1. Ensure all connections are secure and the pump is correctly positioned for your chosen mode (submersible or ground).
  2. Plug the power cord into a suitable, grounded electrical outlet. The pump will start working immediately.
  3. పంపును ఆపడానికి, ఎలక్ట్రికల్ అవుట్‌లెట్ నుండి పవర్ కార్డ్‌ను తీసివేయండి.
