What makes the pump run?

I am not sure what you are asking? Is the pump not working, perhaps clogged up or defect. I have to clean the unit at leastonce a week since I have multiple large dogs. It is not the greatest design, that is for sure.

Electricity. It's a small pump that sits at the end of a tube that attaches to the port where it comes out the top. The wire then comes out of the water rub just under the tub and down a side tube, so you can't see it, and then out the bottom. It gets clogged and has to be cleaned frequently. Plus the lining on the inside kept coming off and into the water, so we ended up throwing ours out about 6 months after we got it.

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.

You need to have an electrical outlet nearby where ever you put the fountain. The power cord is a generous length - 6 - 8 feet long. I have 2 one inside and one outside. Just be sure that the outside outlet is protected from rain and snow.

The button on the pump is a release valve. Hold the button while pressing the air out.

Sorry, but I don't know. The pump didn't work at all as it seemed to have broken apart internally. Haven't had a chance to tear it apart and look at it yet. It looked good and appeared to be well made. It just didn't work.

As far as I can tell it only has to option to run on C batteries. I remove the batteries when the pump is not in use, in an attempt to prevent the batteries from draining too quickly.

This pump is hydraulicaly operated. Its not electric. You have to connect all the ports in it. You cannot leave ports unconnected. Google permeate pump connection schematic and Im sure you'll find a good schematic.

to get it running all you need to do is fill it with oil and plug it in. depending on which size connectors your gauge set has you may need an adapter to attach the gauge set to the vacuum inlet on the pump.

The pressure is steady. There is a release on the pump handle so one can manually simulate the behavior you mention if needed.

On the manifold that comes with the pump there are valves for each individual outlet. They are controlled independently of one another.

Not sure the flow rate specs but it works fine when running on my low pump setting.

I've not actually experienced this. You might have a defective pump, although I can't be certain.

It runs continuously but you can control it by controlling the air pump. I think that is what I said before but I double checked with someone who uses this a lot. Thank YouMaria

As others have posted, it can be used in either configuration. It is regularly used both ways for performance applications. If you search images of the pump, you'll see both.

It is variable speed pump, which varies the flow. Works great. Saves on energy cost.

It has a cord to plug into the wall to make the pump run if that's what you meant.

If you read my reply, I said that there is a little motor with it. Sorry - thought that was clear. Note: a motor is not the same as a pump; however, it does move the water around, as in agitate.

I have no idea. It was a present for my step grandson & I haven't seen him since. As I recall there was a pump or something that came with it.

Sorry, I just noticed that you said you just hooked it up and ran it for 30 minutes, so there probably isn't debris build-up yet. Sounds like air in the pump.
