risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn
or kill. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface,
or in water. Disconnect power from pump before
handling, servicing, or attempting to repair pump.
NOTE: The power cord for this pump includes
a GFCI-protected plug (Figure 5). The GFCI-
protected plug will shut down the pump in the
event of leakage of electrical current from the
pump motor or cord to ground. If the pump does
not respond when plugged in, unplug it, reset the
GFCI (push the RESET button on the plug) and
plug it in again. See Figure 5. If it still doesn't
respond, make sure that the circuit breaker for
the branch circuit is in the 'on' position (closed).
If the circuit breaker is closed and the pump
doesn't respond, consult a licensed electrician.
DO NOT TRY TO MODIFY the cord or plug, and do
not remove the GFCI-protected plug.
The pool cover pump is fully automatic in operation.
The smart controller starts the pump every 2-1/2
minutes and causes it to run for 5 seconds. If it
senses there is no water to the pump, it stops. If
it senses water it continues to run until water is
pumped down to 1/4 in. deep, and then it stops. It
then goes into a 7-minute quick-detection cycle,
starting 4 times the first minute, twice the second
minute, and once a minute for the next 5 minutes.
If by the last check it has not detected water, it
resumes its cycle (running 5 seconds every 2-1/2
minutes) until it senses water again.
NOTICE: When you plug the pump into an outlet, it
will start and run for 5 seconds. It will then cycle as
described above.
If the unit is put in the water and started,
interrupting the water flow into the pump during the
5-second water-sensing run will cause it to wait
2-1/2 minutes before restarting.
1. The motor is equipped with an automatically
resetting thermal overload protector. If the
motor gets too hot, the overload protector will
stop the motor before it is damaged. When
the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload
protector will reset itself and the motor will
restart.
