Aspen Pumps mini aqua pump Instruction Manual

Servicing

• This Pump, like all mechanical equipment, requires maintenance.
• Every six months the reservoir should be removed, taking care to clean the filter, float
and reservoir thoroughly. We recommend this is done in the Spring and the Autumn,
using an anti-bacterial wash.
• Take great care to replace the reservoir horizontally, with
the float magnet facing upwards.

Troubleshooting

Fault: The Pump runs all the time.
1. Is the float positioned with the magnet uppermost?
2. Is the reservoir lid (sensor) located firmly onto the reservoir, with the float located
inside the reservoir, around the sensor column?
3. Is there any sludge inside the reservoir, preventing the float from resting on the
bottom? (This may be the case if the pump has been in operation for some time.
Clean using an anti-bacterial wash).
4. Is the pump overwhelmed with the volume of condensation? (If so, a larger
pump is required).
Please note:
• After installation and during operation, if you notice air in the pipe between the
reservoir and the pump, you have a siphoning problem (see page 3).
• The pump will only switch off when the float is resting flat on the bottom of
the reservoir.
Fault: The Pump stops and starts, and makes a loud noise.
1. The water is siphoning back through the pump. Follow advice on page 3 to
prevent back siphoning.
Fault: The Pump runs but does not pump any water.
1. Are there any air-leaks in the pipe between the reservoir and the pump?
(Use cable ties to ensure an airtight seal).
2. Are the reservoir and the inlet tube free from sludge and debris?
Fault:
The Pump isn't operating at all.
1. Is power reaching the pump? Is it correctly wired? Is the voltage correct?
2. Is the pump very hot? A thermal cut-out may have been activated, which
will reset automatically once the pump has cooled down.
