Thank you for buying your new Mini Aqua Pump.

This manual gives instructions on the correct installation, so it is important that you follow

these instructions carefully. Please record the following information for your future reference:

REGISTERED DESIGN

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.

Product Safety

•CAUTION: The Mini Aqua Pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

•WARNING: Risk of electric shock - this pump has not been investigated for use in

swimming pool or marine areas.

•The means for isolation must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with

wiring regulations.

•Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains supply before carrying out any

adjustments or servicing.

•The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should

be scrapped.

•Always ensure the metal magnet in the float is facing upwards.

•Always ensure the reservoir is sitting flat and horizontal.

•The pump is ideal for most working and living environments. It is not recommended

where the environment is oily or particularly dusty.

•Acceptable for indoor use only.

•Non-submersible pump.

Preventing Siphoning advice

• Cut discharge tube above water level of evaporator tray and direct end into

large pipe, allowing air break.

AIR BREAK

Secure reservoir horizontally and using the inlet hose, connect firmly to drainage pipe.

Note direction of water flow.

Install pump drive unit in the evaporator unit under the condensate drain tray, or inside

the plastic conduit.

Fit breather tube to reservoir lid.

Installation

Ensure float is positioned in reservoir with magnet uppermost, the filter is in place

and the lid is clipped firmly onto reservoir.

Ensure that you securely position some anti-vibration material between the

Mini Aqua pump unit and any hard surfaces (inside evaporator or conduit).

Installation

Push the 9mm o/d x 6mm i/d tube onto the reservoir and the pump. Secure with

cable-ties. Ensure length is under 1.5 metres.

Wire the Mini Aqua Pump to the permanent Live, Neutral and Earth terminals of

the Evaporator. Install a 1.0 amp in-line fuse between the Mini Aqua Pump and

the Evaporator. A high-level alarm switch should be wired into the cooling signal

wire, to prevent the continued operation of the Air-conditioning unit in the event

of the pump failing. These are volt-free contacts and operate as follows:

COMMON AND NORMALLY CLOSED when the water rises to the alarm level the

circuit opens.

COMMON AND NORMALLY OPEN when the water rises to the alarm level the

circuit closes.

Avoid restrictions.

Connect your 9mm o/d x 6mm i/d vinyl discharge tube to the outlet barb on the Mini

Aqua and secure with a cable tie. Channel discharge tube to an appropriate drain.
