Important Usage Tips
- No self-priming function — the pump must be fully submerged in water before operation, or the motor may be damaged.
- For use in clean fresh water only — not suitable for salt water or dirty/particulate-heavy water.
- Always verify voltage, discharge height, and flow rate requirements before use.
- Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
- Check the water inlet is properly submerged before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this submersible water pump in a saltwater aquarium?
A: No — this APWIKOGER DC 12V brushless submersible pump is designed for clean fresh water only. Using it in salt water or water with large particulates may damage the motor and void its operational integrity.
Q: Does this fountain pump need to be fully submerged?
A: Yes. The pump must be completely submerged in water at all times during operation. The built-in dry-run protection will trigger a 1-minute intermittent pause if the water inlet is exposed, but sustained dry running will damage the brushless motor. Always ensure sufficient water depth before use.
Q: How do I clean this aquarium pump?
A: Cleaning takes approximately 5 minutes. Simply unscrew and disassemble the pump casing, rinse all components under clean water, and reassemble. Regular cleaning is recommended to maintain optimal flow rate and extend the pump's lifespan.
Q: What is the maximum water lift height for this 300L/h pump?
A: Without a hose, the pump can lift water up to 40 cm (15.75 in). With the included 300 cm hose attached, the maximum lift height reaches 300 cm (157.48 in), making it suitable for taller fountain features or multi-tier setups.
