Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE
Visually inspect this pump seasonally to ensure
there is no buildup of any kind inside the unit. If
any problems develop, or a buildup is seen during
visual inspection, the following guidelines can help
to return the pump to service.
3.1 PUMP DOES NOT RUN
1 Check to see that the power to the system
(air conditioner and/or furnace) is on to allow
production of condensate.
2 Check that the pump is plugged in and the circuit
is active (i.e. fuse or breaker not blown).
3 Check the level of water in the reservoir; the
level must be within ½” of the reservoir top
to activate the switch. (The inlet tube may be
blocked and require cleaning if no water is
entering the reservoir).
4 If there is a proper amount of water in the
reservoir, the float may be stuck due to dirt or
algae formation. (Flush the reservoir with warm
water and a mild soap or detergent). See note
from point 3.2.
3.2 PUMP MOTOR RUNS WITH
NO DISCHARGE
1 Inspect the discharge tubing for its full length to
make sure it is clear; make sure the tubing end
is not plugged.
2 Make sure the check valve is not clogged.
(If clogged, UNPLUG THE PUMP, remove the
fitting and clean with mild soap or detergent).
See note below.
3 The discharge port of the impeller chamber may
be clogged due to an accumulation of debris.
NOTE:
In case of extreme algae formation,
UNPLUG THE PUMP, and fill the reservoir with
a commercially available algaecide. Follow
directions for destroying the algae. After the
proper waiting period DUMP the algaecide
out of the reservoir. Rinse with water, repeat
if necessary. Be careful not to clog the check
valve when starting the pump after this thorough
cleaning.
Keep these instructions with the pump. They may be valuable if service is needed under the terms of
the warranty.
