Superior Stainless Steel Submersible Water Pump 1 HP | 91197

Installation

1. Install the pump on a hard level surface in the water. If necessary, place bricks or patio blocks under the pump to raise it off the bottom. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand or silt or on rocky surfaces as these materials can clog or cause damage to the pump.
2. Connect a hose to the pump discharge. Use either the supplied garden hose adapter or other hose fitting (sold separately). Choose the best size hose or pipe for your application. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 3/4"

Operation

1. Connect the plug into a 120 volt AC grounded outlet. The use of a GFCI is strongly recommended.
2. The pump will start pumping in approximately 1" of water and will drain down to approximately 1/8"-1/4" of the surface.
3. Do not let the pump run dry. The pump depends on water for cooling and lubrication. Operating the pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to internal parts. It may also shorten the life of your pump.
4. The pump motor is thermally protected. It is not recommended for pumping liquids over 120° F (49° C). The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an overheat/overload situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is designed as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is for fluids between 32° F & 120° F (0° C - 49° C).
