FC1250 Submersible Pump

These high efficient pumps are equipped with internal software that allows them to automatically shut off if no water is present. To re-start un- plug the pump, re-submerge it and plug it back in.

WARNING

• The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond equipment. See your electrical supplies dealer for this device.
• Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug.
• Do not connect to any voltage other than shown on the pump.
• Do not pump flammable liquids.
• Do not use with water above 86º Fahrenheit (30ºC).
• Risk of electrical shock. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and ground attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
• Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a “Drip Loop”. This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.

CAUTION

• Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
• Do not let the pump run dry.
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
• Do not pump heated liquids.
• Operate in freshwater only.
• Operate pump completely submerged for proper cooling.

ATTENTION
In order to get best results, operate pump completely submerged.

MAINTENANCE

A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce performance. If the pump is used on a dirty surface, raise it slightly to reduce the amount of debris contacting the  intake screen. If less flow is desired, restrict the tubing on the discharge side. Never restrict the pump’s intake. To clean the pump, remove the volute (rotate counter  clockwise) and use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris.

IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

• Check the GFCI/circuit breaker and try another outlet to ensure the pump is getting electrical power.
  NOTE: always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.

• Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed out with a garden hose.

• Check the intake screen to ensure it is not clogged with debris.

• Remove the volute to access the impeller area. Turn the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed.

• If the impeller area is encrusted with minerals or corrosion, gently scrape the area clean.

• If your pump has been idle for an extended period, it may be necessary to apply a drop of light oil to the shaft and spin the impeller by hand until it turns freely.
