Troubleshooting
Pump is not running
Check that the pump is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Ensure the power outlet has power. Verify that the intake is not blocked.
Reduced water flow
Clean the pump's intake screen and impeller housing. Debris or algae can accumulate and restrict flow. Check and adjust the flow control setting.
Unusual noise from the pump
Ensure the pump is stable and not vibrating against any pond surfaces. Check the impeller for any foreign objects that may have become lodged.
