You then bail it out by hand or leave it in and contaminate the fresh mix. A pump that clears to 2mm turns a reservoir change into a genuinely clean start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit a 3\/4\" connector and hose to the threaded outlet before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower the pump flat onto the base of the tank and run the hose to a drain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch on and let it work down to the residual 2mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever run the pump dry - switch off as soon as the tank is clear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the base and rinse the impeller area after each reservoir change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3000 litres per hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMinimum water level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrains down to 2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutlet\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/4\" male thread, fits standard garden hose connectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAdaptors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHousing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermoplastic, rust and corrosion resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCeramic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable base for cleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstallation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully submersible - do not run dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sicce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53446973063434,"sku":null,"price":69.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/water-pump-3000l-h-sicce-utility-ultra-zero-pump-1194839646.jpg?v=1785315696","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/sicce-utility-ultra-zero-pump","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
