OWNER'S MANUAL
RL25U Multi-Purpose Pump
This submersible multi-purpose pump is designed for clear water transfer applications and household water
removal. The pump is for use with water only.
Do NOT use this pump for:
Transferring potable water
Effluent or sewage applications
Applications where debris (gravel, sand, etc.), abrasives, or corrosives are present
As a pond pump, or for pumping seawater
Sprinkler systems—this pump does not deliver enough pressure for sprinkler applications
Locations classified as hazardous according to the National Electrical
Code (ANSI/NFPA)
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector, and may restart
unexpectedly. Thermal Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading or overheating. This
can be caused by application issues such as an obstructed pump impeller, pump running dry, pump
air-locked, pump short cycling, excessively high or low voltage supply, or possibly a pump, motor,
bearing, or seal that has reached the end of its useful life.
Please examine your pump carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. If dam-
age has occurred, please contact the place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or
repair, if required.
This product is covered by a Limited Warranty for a period of 60 months from the date of original purchase by

we cannot get the pump to consistency push water through the hose. It seems to have to be primed(hose). Very frustrating, works for a bit then stops. I have a basement full of water.

To fix the priming issue with the Red Lion RL25U pump:

1. Avoid Air Locking: Always place the pump in water while it is turned off, then plug it in. Placing it in water while running can trap air and prevent water flow.

2. Check for Obstructions:
- Clean the filter screen if it is clogged.
- Inspect and clean the pump and impeller if blocked or stuck.

3. Reduce Suction Height: Lower the pump closer to the water source if the suction height is too high.

4. Check Hose and Discharge Line:
- Use a short, large-diameter hose to reduce friction losses.
- Ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked.

5. Minimize Pipe Length: Keep the piping as short as possible for better flow.

6. Inspect for Wear: If the impeller is worn due to abrasives, the pump may need replacement.
