Care And Cleaning - AquaPRO 55011-7 Manual Del Usuario

Washing Machine Use
Washing machines usually discharge more water than the faucets do, and it is normal for the water level to rise in
the sink while the pump is discharging. Do not adjust the discharge valve to match the flow when the washing
machine discharges into it, unless the sink is ONLY used for washing machine discharge.
NOTE: Washing machine discharge water contains fiber and lint. Unfiltered washing machine discharge could plug
the pump and require pump disassembly for cleaning. To avoid this, install a lint trap or bag type filter in the
washing machine discharge line and clean it out regularly.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns,
unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
This pump requires very little maintenance and should provide a long service life. Problems are rare; when the
pump flow drops off, the most likely cause is something solid going down the drain and jamming the impeller.
To clear a jammed impeller:
 Unplug the Pump.
Close the discharge shutoff valve.

Bail out the sink as much as possible.

 Disconnect the union, unscrew the pump from the sink tail piece, lower the pump to the floor, and slide it out
from under the sink (see Figure 3).
Remove the six housing screws (see Figure 4).

 Clean out the pump. Make sure that the pump discharge is clear. If necessary, replace the impeller.
Install the new gasket (included with impeller). Reassemble the pump.

Raise the pump back into position, thread it back onto the sink tail piece, and reconnect the union.

 Plug in the pump. Run water in the sink until the pump has run at least one complete cycle to make sure the
pump is operating correctly and there are no leaks.
† For easier removal for servicing or cleaning,
install a 1-1/2 in. solvent union in the drop pipe.
