How do you get the pump to work?

It is on "lock" when you get it. There are marked arrows on the top telling you to push and turn a certain direction. This will open up the pump and it works perfectly! By the way, almost all pump lotions you can but at the store, are locked and unlocked the same way.

You have kinda push down & then screw it on. There is a stop line on the pump, if u don't stop it will mess up. But mine comes loose after using it a few times but I just tighten it again.

The pump should run at the timer settings. I would think if it runs as you state, either the timer or pump is bad. I suggest new pump.

Hello. You simply completely remove the bottle cap, place the pump onto the bottle, then screw it on. I hope this helps.

This type of switch that I have goes on top of the pump. In order of this switch to work the pump has to be cover with water and some more until the switch gets turned on. What you could try to do is some how bolt this small clamp to the floor. That way once the switch gets cover with water and the switch rises it will turn on. If you do it try to get screws that don't rust so easy. Remember the more slack you give the more it will delay for the switch to turn on. I will also try to make a small deeper hole for this switch so you can collect even more water.

I have to fill the canister with water completely. Then I fill both input and output hoses with water before attaching them to the pump. I hope this helps! It took me a while to figure it out.

Mike, had this issue once with my old pump, I accidentally switched the L1 and L2 wires. Mark them first ( for the future) and swap them. I also heard to make sure the internal ground and the external copper ground is attached as well. Hope this helps, once you dial in the timers this pump is pretty awesome.

It should pump .. period. It is hooked up wrong(No Offense)or it is defective. My advice? Just send it back .. FWIWFinal, I was unempressed with mine .. Just got rid of it in part .... because I took to long to qualify for a refund.

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru. There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate. If nothing comes out it probably is defective It should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

I had the same problem! Hold the center ring, in between the pump and base, then spin the pump.

Make sure both pumps on top are working. They turn on independently every 6 seconds or so. Also you can use tongs or chop sticks to make sure all bubbles are off jellies. They do bunch up everyonce in a while till other pump kicks in and separates them;)

You screw the pump in tight....then turn handle opposite direction to unlock. Then push handle up and down.

Yes, you press down and twist - sounds like you might have a non functioning pump which happens more then we like.

Same here, after about 3 trys I made sure the tank was full and seated down good, turned it on, then I heard sucking noises and the pump started to prime itself. This happens in 5 seconds, don't leave the pump running, shut it off and try again. Good Luck

make sure all seals are tight and the hose is connected properly to pump and fill tip. worse comes to worse use a bike pump or air mattress pump. be careful with the last idea. have some one hold a yard stick next to bosu while inflating and when good height have pin ready to go in as you pull hose
