| Models WGFP-15 & WGFP-33
Description
This pump has been designed to operate in applications such as waterfalls, streams, and fountainheads. It can also be used to circulate the water in your pond. Unique features of this pump line include a non-clogging vortex impeller, auto-resetting thermal overload protection, stainless steel motor housing, and the ability to pass solids with diameters up to .39"/10mm (WGFP-15) or.98"/25mm (WGFP-33). Caution: To prevent damaging the pump, do not pump abrasives such as sand or mud.

Operation
Caution: This pump is intended to pump water only, with a maximum temperature of 105°F (40°C). Do not pump heated liquids. This pump is best suited for pumping fresh water while completely submerged for proper cooling.
Caution: Conformity with local and state electric codes is mandatory. The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying sump, utility, effluent, fountain, and pool pumps, and other pond equipment.
Caution: The pump is not equipped with an ON/OFF switch. The pump will operate immediately and continuously once connected with the proper electrical power.
Caution: Before working on pump, disconnect the pump's power cord and remove the fuse or shut off the circuit breaker.
- Place the pump in an upright position, fully submerged, and on a solid surface such as a brick or stone to prevent it from being clogged. Never place pump directly on gravel, sand, or mud.
- Connect the discharge to the discharge fitting.
- To ensure there are no air locks, fill the volute with water before connecting the power cord.
- Verify that the power cord is in good condition, with no nicks or cuts.
- Connect the pump's power cord to the proper electrical supply.
- Verify that the pump turns on and begins pumping water.
- Do not allow the pump to run dry. Damage will result and void the warranty.
- If less flow is desired, restrict the discharge flow. Never restrict the pump's intake.
- Remove the power cord from the electrical supply to turn the pump off.
- If pump does not operate properly, consult the Troubleshooting section.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The pump does not run.
- Probable cause: Power cord unplugged.
- Solution: Plug cord securely into electrical outlet and ensure that there is voltage present.
- Probable cause: Impeller jammed.
- Solution: Disconnect power cord. Remove volute and remove foreign object.
Problem: The pump runs but does not deliver water.
- Probable cause: Water level under minimum suction level.
- Solution: Stop the pump and add water.
- Probable cause: Air trapped in pump during initial installation or when pump ran dry.
- Solution: Disconnect power cord. Remove air by submerging pump in a tilted position and shaking it with the discharge open.
- Probable cause: Suction screen clogged.
- Solution: Disconnect power cord. Clean the screen.
- Probable cause: Discharge line clogged or obstructed.
- Solution: Disconnect power cord. Remove and clean discharge line.
Problem: The pump stops running automatically.
- Probable cause: The thermal overload protection system stopped the pump because the pump suction is clogged, the pump was used to pump hot water, or the pump ran dry.
- Solution: Disconnect power cord. Correct the reason for overheating. Wait until pump is cooled. Plug in the power cord and resume operation.
