Can the pump run dry?

Troubleshooting

Pump is not running

Ensure the pump is fully submerged, the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet, and the intake is not blocked by debris. Check your circuit breaker.

Low water flow

Adjust the flow control slider to a higher setting. Clean the intake screen and impeller housing for any obstructions. Ensure the water level is sufficient for submersion.

Pump is noisy

Check for debris lodged in the impeller or intake. Ensure the pump is sitting on a stable surface and is fully submerged. Air bubbles can sometimes cause noise; try repositioning the pump.

Water appears stagnant despite pump running

Verify the flow rate is set appropriately for the size of the water feature. Ensure the pump's position facilitates good circulation throughout the entire body of water.
