- If using externally, ensure the pump is primed with water before switching on, as it is not self-priming.
- Connect the appropriate inlet and outlet hoses securely.
- Clean the integrated pre-filter regularly to maintain optimal water flow.
- Periodically inspect and clean the impeller to ensure quiet, efficient operation.
- Never allow the pump to run dry, as this may damage the motor and impeller.
