1. Introduzzjoni
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, setup, and maintenance of your PULACO 95GPH 5W Mini Submersible Water Pump. This compact pump is designed for various water circulation applications, including small to medium-sized aquariums, fish tanks, ponds, tabletop fountains, water gardens, and hydroponic systems.
Karatteristiċi ewlenin:
- Disinn ultra-kwiet: Engineered for minimal noise output, providing a peaceful environment.
- Rata tal-fluss aġġustabbli: Features a knob for controlling water flow, with a maximum rate of 95 GPH (360 L/H).
- Jinqala' u Jitnaddaf: Designed for easy disassembly without tools, simplifying maintenance.
- Daqs Mini: Compact dimensions (1.8 x 1.8 x 1.4 inches) allow for discreet placement.
Nota Importanti dwar is-Sigurtà: This submersible pump must be fully submerged in water before being powered on. Operating the pump without water (dry running) will cause damage to the motor and shorten its lifespan.

- Skonnettja l-Enerġija: Dejjem aqla’ l-pompa mill-plagg tal-elettriku qabel ma tagħmel xi manutenzjoni.
- Remove from Water: Carefully remove the pump from its submerged location.
- Żarma: The pump is designed for easy disassembly without tools. Gently separate the pump housing components to access the impeller.
- Komponenti nodfa: Rinse all parts, including the impeller, housing, and inlet screen, under clean water. Use a small brush or cotton swab to remove any accumulated debris, algae, or mineral deposits. Pay close attention to the impeller area, as blockages here can significantly reduce performance or cause noise.
- Erġa' arma: Once all parts are clean, reassemble the pump, ensuring all components fit securely.
- Return to Water: Place the cleaned pump back into the water, ensuring it is fully submerged before reconnecting power.
Attenzjoni: If the pump suddenly stops working or produces unusual noises, it is often due to debris blockage. Promptly clean the pump to prevent further damage.
