Mini Electric Submersible Water Pump - Flow Pro 300

Installation Guide for Mini Electric Submersible Water Pump

Thank you for choosing the Mini Electric Submersible Water Pump. Follow this guide to safely and efficiently install and operate your water pump. Proper use and maintenance will ensure long-lasting performance for your water feature.

Safety First: Always prioritize safety during installation and operation. Read the instructions carefully before use.

Note: This pump is suitable for use in fountains, ponds, aquariums, and hydroponic systems. Avoid using it in chemically treated water, such as swimming pools.

1. Safety Guidelines

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power supply matches the pump’s specifications (Rate Power: 5W). Use an RCD (Residual Current Device) to protect against electric shock.
• Always keep the power plug in a dry, elevated location away from water.
• General Safety: Keep the pump out of reach of children and pets. Disconnect the pump before performing maintenance or adjustments.
• Do not operate the pump without water to avoid overheating.
• Inspect the pump and power cord for damage regularly. Do not use if damaged.

2. Pumping Heights and Flow Rate

• The pump provides a maximum flow rate of 300 L/H.
• The maximum lift height is 0.75 meters. Flow rate decreases as the pumping height increases:
  • At 0.5 m, the flow rate will reduce slightly.
  • At 0.75 m (maximum height), the flow rate will be significantly lower.
• For optimal efficiency, position the pump as close to your water feature as possible to reduce resistance.

3. Attaching Tubing for a Cascade

• Select the appropriate outlet size for your tubing (8 mm or 13 mm).
• Securely attach the tubing to the pump outlet. Use a hose clamp if needed to prevent leaks.
• Route the tubing to the top of your cascade or waterfall structure.
• Ensure the tubing is free from kinks or bends to prevent interruptions in water flow.
• Test the pump and adjust its placement if the flow is uneven.

4. Using as a Fountain Spray for a Pond

• Attach a suitable fountain spray head to the pump outlet (if applicable).
• Fully submerge the pump in the pond, ensuring it sits on a flat, stable surface.
• Adjust the pump’s placement to center the fountain spray and achieve the desired height.
• Test the spray and modify the nozzle settings for different spray patterns.
• Clean the nozzle regularly to prevent blockages caused by debris or algae.

5. Running the Pump Efficiently

• Placement: Position the pump on a flat, debris-free surface at the bottom of the pond or water reservoir. Use the suction cups for stable mounting.
• Cleaning: The pump is easy to clean. Regularly remove dirt, algae, or mineral buildup from the housing and nozzle to maintain peak performance.
• Energy Efficiency: The pump consumes only 5 watts of power, making it highly energy-efficient. Turn off the pump when not in use or during maintenance.
• Tubing Management: Use the shortest and straightest tubing possible to reduce flow resistance. Inspect tubing for blockages or damage periodically.

6. Maintenance Tips

• Routine Checks: Inspect the pump and accessories regularly for damage or wear.
• Winter Storage: Remove the pump and store it indoors during freezing weather to avoid damage.
• Dealing with Noise: If the pump becomes noisy, check for trapped air or debris in the impeller. Ensure it is fully submerged in water.

7. Troubleshooting

• Low Water Flow: Check for blockages in the tubing, nozzle, or pump intake. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the tubing is secure.
• No Water Flow: Verify that the pump is connected to a power supply and switched on. Inspect the impeller for damage or obstructions.
• Excessive Noise: Confirm the pump is submerged and not running dry. Check for trapped air or loose components.

By following these steps, you can ensure your Mini Electric Submersible Water Pump operates safely and efficiently. If you have any issues, refer to the user manual or contact customer support. Enjoy your water feature!
