Troubleshooting
Pump does not siphon liquid
Ensure the suction tube is fully submerged in the liquid and the outlet hose is positioned below the liquid level. Check that the squeeze bulb is functioning correctly and not damaged. Ensure there are no air leaks in the tubing or connections.
Flow rate is too slow
Squeeze the bulb more vigorously and frequently to establish and maintain a stronger siphon. Ensure the destination container is positioned lower than the source. Check for any kinks or blockages in the tubing.
Liquid does not stop flowing when squeezing is stopped
This indicates a strong siphon has been established. To stop the flow, lift the outlet end of the hose above the liquid level in the source container.
Pump material appears to be degrading
Ensure you are using the pump with compatible liquids. Consult the product information for a list of recommended fluids. If degradation occurs, discontinue use and replace the pump.
