Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Installation: Ensure the pump is mounted on a level, stable surface to allow the float switch to operate accurately.
- Connections: Secure your 3/8" or 1/4" discharge tubing firmly to the outlet. Ensure the electrical connection is wired to the 230V mains, integrating the safety switch with the HVAC control circuit to enable the alarm/shutdown feature.
- Cable Management: The unit comes with a 1.8m power cable; if the installation distance is further, use a suitable junction box to extend the connection securely.
- Care: Periodically check the 1-litre reservoir for biological buildup or sludge. Clean the tank annually with a mild disinfectant to prevent float blockage. Ensure the discharge pipe is free of kinks to maintain the 280 LPH flow rate.
