A “drip-loop” shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip-loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Maintenance of the Appliance
Your Jump flow Pump is designed to operate optimally with little attention after initial setup. However, due to the harsh conditions of a saltwater aquarium and resulting buildup of algae and other organic matter, it is advisable to clean the pump to ensure the longevity of appliance. Maxspect recommends doing a cleaning every 6 months or as necessary. This can be accomplished by opening the impeller housing and gently brushing the impeller and inside of impeller housing with a soft brush under running water. If there is calcium buildup, it may be necessary to soak these parts in a mild acid solution such as vinegar. DO NOT use strong acids, because these may damage the components. After cleaning, reassemble the appliance.
