USAGE CAUTIONS:
A. Before operating pump:
1. Check that the power voltage and frequency conforms to the power ratings on the nameplate.
2. Don’t lift, lower or carry pump by the power cable.
3. Always unplug the pump when not in use. Do not place hands in water where the pump is
installed or before performing any maintenance and cleaning.
4. Do not add any lubricants to the pump.
5. Do not operate the pump without water as this will cause severe damage.
5. This pump is not self-priming. Make sure the water lines and pump(s) are filled with water
prior to turning on.
6. Do not install or store the pump where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures
below freezing.
7. Do not operate pump in water temperatures higher than 86º F.
B. The pump should not be used if:
1. Do not operate pump if the power supply cord, plug or any other parts have any damage.
2. If cord is damaged, pump should not be used and disposed of properly.
3. Pump has a wet plug or a wet receptacle.
4. Water discharge from pump is reduced.
5. A part is broken and water leaks in.
6. Anything abnormal occurs.
7. If people or body parts are in the water.
C. During pump operation:
1. Shut off power immediately to prevent motor from burning out when overloaded due
to clogging from foreign materials.
2. Please consult store where you purchased the pump or EcoPlususa.com if the pump
is not working properly. DO NOT disassemble or assemble the pump, as this may result
in severe damage.
A “Drip Loop” prevents the plug or electrical outlet from getting wet and should be set up
for each cord connecting the pump to an electrical outlet (see diagram below). The Drip
Loop itself is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet (or connector if an extension
cord is used). This prevents any water from traveling along the cord and coming into
contact with the outlet!

Introduction
USER GUIDE
EcoPlus®Fixed Flow Rate Submersible or Inline Pumps are quality products that are designed
using the very latest pump technology. These pumps are suitable for use in hydroponic systems,
ponds, aquariums, fountains and filter systems. The pumps are designed with “synchronous
technology,” where electrical parts are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin. This unit is constructed
with high quality, fully tested and rated components to ensure the best performance possible.
Features include:
• Driven by a high power rare earth
rotor magnet.
• Only 1 moving part for trouble-free
operation.
• Suitable for indoor or outdoor use
with freshwater only.
• Never let the pump run dry. Doing so will damage pump and could void the warranty.
• Place pump in minimum of 6 inches and a maximum of 3 feet below water surface.
• Always place on stable surfaces that are free from sludge, sand and other debris.
Operating Instructions
HELPFUL HINTS
HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL DISCHARGE:
The base mounting bracket can be placed on the bottom or either side of the pump
for a choice of 3 discharge positions.
To change pump discharge orientation, simply slide the base mounting bracket off the bottom of
the pump and replace it on either side (the ridges on the sides of the pump are the “rails” that the
mounting bracket slides onto).

SUBMERSIBLE APPLICATIONS:
This pump is designed to operate when completely submerged in water.
CAUTION: Do not put plug and pump into water together. If plug drops into water, power supply
should be turned off to avoid electric shock. Pump can be used indoors or outdoors. Supply cord
cannot be changed or replaced. It cannot be bent or used to carry the pump. If cord is damaged, do
not use pump. Do not reach for pump while it is submerged and connected to a power supply.
Basic Setup:
1. Make sure your pump is sized correctly for the volume of water to be moved and that it can
safely and effectively operate in your system.
2. Install outflow or inflow fittings onto the pump that are appropriate for your application and that
correctly fit any tubing connected to them.
3. Connect tubing, making sure the inner diameter of the tubing matches the outside diameter
of the fittings installed.
4. Double check to make sure all fittings are secure and that the Cover is installed correctly.
6. Fill your system with water.
6. Connect the pump’s grounded power plug to a grounded electrical outlet.

INLINE APPLICATIONS:
This pump is designed to operate in a system without being submerged in water.
CAUTION: This pump is not self-priming, which requires it to be filled with water and slightly
lower than the water level in a reservoir, tank, pond or aquarium. If plug drops into water, power
supply should be turned off to avoid electric shock. Pump can be used indoors or outdoors.
Supply cord cannot be changed or replaced. It cannot be bent or used to carry the pump.
If cord is damaged, do not use pump.
Basic Setup:
1. Make sure your pump is sized correctly for the volume of water to be moved and that it can
safely and effectively operate in your system.
2. Place pump in desired location, ensuring that the pump will operate at a slightly lower level
than your water source.
3. Install inflow and outflow fittings onto the pump that are appropriate for your application and
that correctly fit any tubing connected to them.
4. Install a connection on your water source using appropriately sized fittings.
5. Install tubing on all connections, making sure the inner diameter of the tubing matches the
outside diameter of the fittings installed.
6. Double check to make sure that all connections are secure.
7. Fill your system with water.
8. Connect the pump’s grounded power plug to a grounded electrical outlet.

by lightly shaking the unit.
3. Pull the rotor assembly away from the pump body.
4. Wash parts with fresh water carefully.
5. Reattach the rotor to the pump body carefully after cleaning; make sure the 2 holes on the
impeller base and the 2 dowels on the pump body fit together for proper assembly.
6. Turn the rotor by hand, the rotor should move freely.
7. Check the “O” ring of the pump body.
8. Replace the impeller cover on the pump body and tighten the stainless steel screws.
