Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet, without plugging it into the switch plug.
If pump still does not run, see the troubleshooting section in the pump manual.
If the pump does run, continue to the next step.
Test the switch with the pump:
Plug the pump into the Ion® switch and plug the Ion switch plug into the wall.
Push up on the sensing plate through the diaphragm surface. Please don’t use any sharp object to push against the diaphragm. You may hear a small click sound when the pump is turned on.
If the pump does not turn on, the switch will have to be replaced.
If the pump does turn on, continue to the next step.
Verify the range of the switch a. The part number can be found on the switch cord tag.
Lower the switch on the pipe so the On level is at a point within the basin, insuring that the Off level does not fall below the minimum level shown in the Installation Drawing.
If the On level is still too high, the switch will have to be replaced with a lower range Ion® switch.
For a pump-mounted switch, see Page 2 Figure D to verify that the On level is appropriate for your basin.
If the On level is too high, the switch will have to be replaced with a lower range Ion switch.
Switch Does Not Turn Off Pump:
Unplug the pump from the Ion® plug and then unplug the Ion plug from the wall outlet.
Plug the pump back into the Ion® plug and plug the Ion plug back into the wall outlet.
If the pump does not turn on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, let the pump go through an On / Off cycle a few times to insure that the switch is functioning properly. The basin may need to be filled with a garden hose or bucket.
If the pump turns on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, the switch will have to be replaced.
