AEO WP401209 User manual

Section 1: INCLUDED
(1) Water Pump (2) Nozzles (3) DC Short Connector
Section 2: CAUTIONS
1) Make sure the water pump is fully submerged underwater while it is
operating.
2) Do not connect the pump to any AC power supply; it is designed
ONLY for DC power between 12V to 24V. When connects to a Solar
Panel, an 18V Solar Panel is recommended, because a 24V solar panel
actual output will exceed its nominal voltage when sunlight at highest
intensity.
3) The polarity of the power
cable plug on the Water
Pump (1) must match the
plug on the DC Short
Connector (3) as shown in
the figure to the right.
Connect the two plugs by
matching the flat sides; do
not force them together.
4) Any alteration of the product itself or changing of the components
voids warranty.
5) Operate the pump in water only (under 104°F), and keep it away from
flammable liquids.
Section 3: ASSEMBLY
*Unpack all components carefully.
1) [Setup Water Pump]
a) Connect the nozzles tubes (adjust the height by the number of
tubes) to the water pump outlet to produce a fountain effect
above the surface of the water. Use a taller base such as bricks or
marble slabs if the cylinder is not high enough.
b) Connect one of the fountain heads on top of cylinder tubes for
different water patterns.
c) Place the water pump under the water (fish tank, small pond, etc.),
but on top of a base such as a brick or marble slab to prevent dirt,
mud, or sand from getting into the filter. For deep water, the AEO
Floating Pad is recommended and can be found on Amazon.com
by searching for “AEO Floating Pad”.
2) [Connect the Water Pump to DC Short Connector] connecting the
plugs between the power cable and DC Short Connector (3). The plugs
must match in polarity (+ -). Connect the two plugs by matching the
flat sides. (See figure in Section 2-3)
AEO-WP401209 SOLAR DC WATER PUMP
USER’S MANUAL
Brushless Submersible, 12V-24V, 196GpH
for Solar Fountain, Hydroponics and Aquaponics
 Place the Water Pump under water BEFORE connecting to a power source.
 The water pump may become damaged if it is not under water before
powering it on.
 The plugs on the DC Short Connector (3) and power cable connected to the
Water Pump (1) must match in polarity (+ -). Connect the two plugs by
matching the flat sides. (See figure in Section 2.3)
 This is a DC (Direct Current) water pump. DO NOT connect to any AC power.
 Water Pump can be powered by a 12V-24V DC battery; however, when
connects to a Solar Panel, an 18V Solar Panel is recommended, because a
24V solar panel actual output will exceed its nominal voltage when sunlight
at highest intensity.
 Please carefully read this user manual before installing the pump.


3) [Connect to a Power Source] by connecting the DC Short Connector (3)
to a proper DC power supply with an output of 12V to 24V.
Section 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodically clean the water pump to prevent blockage.
! Caution ! Handle with care to prevent the impeller from falling out and
breaking while detaching the unit. Disconnect Water Pump from Power
before cleaning.
1) Pull the filter housing apart from the pump while squeezing the sides.
2) Press on the bottom board while sliding it in the direction of the arrow.
3) Turn the impeller cover counter-clockwise and then carefully pull it out.
Impeller maybe attached to the cover or stay inside the pump. Be
aware of the white washers may fall out.
4) Separate the impeller from the water pump or detach it from the
impeller cover.
5) Wash every part including the inside of motor chamber and clean out
the debris
6) Assemble the pump in reverse sequence then put water pump back
under water, connect power to start running
Section 5: TROUBLE-SHOOTING
* Pump stopped running?
1) Check power source: if connected to a Solar Panel, make sure it is
fully exposed to sunlight and is not covered in shade or dirt.
Solar cells are connected in series, any shadow or tiny dirt on one
cell could significantly compromise the power output.
2) Check for blockage: clean the pump as described in Section 4:
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
*Pump is running, but there’s no water going through?
1) Check for blockage: clean the nozzle tubes, water pump outlet,
and filter to remove any debris.
