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. تعليمات التشغيل

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. لإيقاف المضخة، افصل سلك الطاقة من مأخذ الكهرباء.

For optimal performance in Ground Mode, ensure the pump is always below the water level of the source to facilitate water intake.
