Using this universal magnetic pump is a breeze. First, make sure your washing machine is compatible with this pump model, especially if it's a Hoover, Simpson, or some Asian washing machines. To install, find the mounting holes on your machine that match the 68 - mm diameter circle on the pump. Then, use the threaded mounting bracket holes, which are 24mm apart, to secure the pump firmly. Connect the 60 - cm bare - end flyleads to the appropriate power source, ensuring it's 240VAC, 50Hz. When the pump is in operation, it should provide a good flow rate of 20 litres per minute at a 1 - metre height. As for maintenance, keep the pump clean and free from debris. Check the inlet (30mm diameter) and outlet (24mm diameter) regularly for any blockages. If you encounter any issues, our full guarantee means you can rely on us for support.
