Caution:
During the break-in period with freshly mixed brine, excess foam may overflow temporarily; this is normal and will stabilize after use.
Regular cleaning of the rotor and chamber is recommended to prevent sediment buildup and extend pump life.
Never operate the pump without water. Maintain a consistent water level between 18–22 cm for best results.
