System and Safety Information
The Sump Pump System by Duraself (Model Number: DS-600GSP-M) is a 12V DC system designed for 600
GPH flow. The cover snaps on to allow quick installation and also to permit easy filter removal for cleaning. A
gasket seals the sump box against overflow, and the sump box has an air vent to prevent air locks. Multiple
inlets can be hooked up to more than one drain with different hose size options.
The specifications for the sump pump system include 3.2 feet of wire lead, 2.6 pounds net weight and 3.8
pounds gross weight. Pressure head is 2.5 meters/8 feet/3.5 psi.

Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.
The sump pump system may be used only for water/bilge water and not for any other liquid. The pump
should not be run dry.
Operation
When the drain water rises and reaches the second detector cell at about 1 ½" to 2" deep, the automatic
float switch will start the pump. When the water level has sunk to about an inch and the first detector cell is
above the water level, the pump will stop.
The system is constructed with a check valve on the outlet port that will close to prevent the backflow of
water into the box.
Maintenance
It is recommended to periodically clean the plastic mesh screen filter (Fig. 1) for improved performance.
NOTE: The motor and float switch assembly (Fig. 1) can be pulled out to aid in removal of hair or debris.
1. Remove the cover and slip out the screen filter (Fig. 1).
2. Use only mild soap and water to clean the screen filter, wipe off the pump and clean out the sump box
(Fig.1).
3. When finished cleaning, reinstall pump (if removed) and screen filter and replace cover.
The sump pump box should be drained during the winter months.
1. Disconnect and drain all lines to the box.
2. Remove mounting screws and empty the box.
NOTE: If it is impractical to drain the system, a non-toxic RV/marine antifreeze can be added to the drain
and circulated through the system.
