Frequently Asked Questions - PTP-012A Ozito

Can the Ozito PTP-012A pump handle dirty water?

Yes, this pump can handle water with solid particles up to 25 mm in diameter. It is suitable for pumping out water with light debris, but not for sewage or heavily contaminated water.

How do I prime the pump?

The Ozito PTP-012A is a submersible pump, so it does not require manual priming. Simply submerge the pump fully in water and it will automatically prime.

What is the maximum depth the pump can operate?

The pump can be submersed up to 8 meters below the water surface. It has an IP68 rating for continuous underwater operation.

How do I clean the pump after use?

After each use, rinse the pump with clean fresh water to remove dirt and debris. Check the impeller and inlet screen for blockages. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free place.

What type of hose can I use?

The pump has a 1 inch BSP threaded outlet. You can attach a standard garden hose or a larger diameter hose with the appropriate adapter.

Why does the pump keep stopping?

The pump has a thermal overload protector. If it stops suddenly, it may be overheating. Check for blocked intake, excessive water temperature, or low water level. Let it cool down for 15 minutes before restarting.

Can I use this pump for continuous operation?

Yes, the Ozito PTP-012A is designed for continuous duty. However, avoid running it dry, as this can damage the pump. It is also recommended to turn it off periodically during extended use.

How do I replace the impeller?

Disconnect the pump from power, remove the bottom cover, and unscrew the impeller. Replace with a genuine Ozito spare part. For detailed steps, refer to the user manual.

What does the float switch do?

The float switch automatically turns the pump on when water rises and off when the water level drops. Adjust the float switch position to set the desired on/off levels.

Is the pump suitable for saltwater?

No, this pump is designed for fresh water only. Saltwater can cause corrosion and damage the internal components. Use a specific saltwater pump for marine applications.

The pump can be used with or without the stainless steel filter. The filter should be used when the water being pumped contains contaminants.

1 Push the slide locking clip on the pump inlet down and ensure the water inlet is clear.

WARNING: THE INPUT HOSE SHOULD BE LOW ENOUGH IN THE WATER TO ENSURE THAT IF THE WATER FALLS, THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. ENSURE THAT THIS IS CHECKED WHEN IN OPERATION.

NOTE: A leaking hose or pipe will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.

Note: When not using the supplied auxiliary cable (ie. when setting up a fixed installation), it is recommended that you use a 10 Amp fuse and a 12V/10 Amp power supply.

Mounting

The following should be considered to achieve optimum pump operation.

• The pump can be mounted at the same level or below the water supply. It may be positioned above the water supply if need, as it is capable of a 1.8m vertical prime. Horizontal inlet will allow priming to 9m.
• The pump can be mounted in any position. If mounting the pump vertically, the pump head should be in the down position for optimum performance.
• The Mounting Feet are intended to isolate the pump from mounting surface; over tightening, flattening, or use of oversized screws will reduce the ability to isolate vibration and noise.

Positioning the Hose

Position the input hose so that it rises from the water drawing source to the pump. Avoid positioning the input hose higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the input hose and impede the priming process.

We recommended at least 0.3m of 12.7mm I/D flexible hose to the inlet and outlet connections. Use hose clamps on hose connections to prevent water leaks.

Note: If the water supply is below the level of the pump, fitting a Non Return Valve is recommended to prevent water running back to the water supply.

MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOT

Cleaning the Filter Unit

GENERAL PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save these instructions

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate pumps in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Pumps create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pump. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

1. Electrical safety

When using 12 Volt equipment, basic safety precautions, including the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.

a. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pump. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
b. The electric motor has been designed for 12V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

1. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pump. Do not use a pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating pumps may result in serious personal injury.
b. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying pumps with your finger on the switch or plugging in pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.

c. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pump on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the pump may result in personal injury.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

1. Pump use and care

a. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing pumps. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pump accidentally.
b. Maintain pumps. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the pumps operation. If damaged, have the pump repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained pumps.
c. Use the pump, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of pump, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the pump for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

1. Service

a. Have your pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.

! PORTABLE PRESSURE PUMP SAFETY WARNINGS

CAUTION: Not intended for cleaning and other maintenance of swimming pools.

WARNING! This product is intended for pumping water in a home domestic application.

Do not use it for corrosive, abrasive, explosive or dangerous liquids. Fluids other than water will damage the water pump and/or create a fire hazard. WARNING! This product is not suitable for use with drinking (potable) water.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they don't play with the appliance.

• Ensure the pressure pump is disconnected from mains power when installing
• Do not install or operate the water pump in an explosive environment or near flammable material.
• Do not operate the water pump without liquid.
• Do not run the water pump dry.

WARNING! The water pump together with associated pipework operate under pressure.

Do not disconnect water pump or pipework until internal pressure has been released. Failure to do this could result in personal injury and damage to property.

• Avoid inserting hands into the inlets/outlets of the water pump while it is connected to mains power.
• Before using the water pump, always inspect it visually. Do not use the pump if it is cracked and/or damaged. If the water pump is damaged, contact customer service.
