Product Information

Full details

The Clarke International HSE300A is a heavy-duty submersible pump designed for efficient water removal in demanding situations. Ideal for homeowners, contractors, and property managers dealing with flooding or water transfer, its key benefit is powerful performance with a 720W motor and 300Lpm flow rate. A potential caveat to consider is its weight, at 27.78 pounds, which requires careful handling during installation and removal. This pump features a robust stainless steel drive shaft, a durable chrome-plated body, a 2" outlet, and an integrated float switch for automatic operation, making it suitable for both clean and dirty water with small solids up to 5mm.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum head height for this pump?

The product specifications list a 10-meter head height.

Can this pump handle sewage?

This pump is designed for clean and dirty water with solids up to 5mm. It is not intended for sewage or heavily contaminated waste.

What is the warranty period?

The pump comes with a 1-year warranty.

How do I ensure the float switch works correctly?

Ensure the float switch has unobstructed vertical movement and is not trapped by debris or the pump's position. It needs space to rise and fall with the water level.

What size discharge hose should I use?

This pump is designed with a 2-inch diameter outlet, so a 2-inch discharge hose is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I leave this pump running unattended?

Yes, the integrated float switch allows for automatic operation, making it safe to leave unattended as it will turn off when the water level drops.

Troubleshooting

Pump not turning on

Check that the power cord is securely connected to a working 230V outlet. Ensure the float switch is not obstructed and is in the 'on' position relative to the water level.

Low water flow or pump stops frequently

Inspect the inlet for blockages from debris. Clean the impeller area and the float switch. Ensure the discharge hose is not kinked or blocked. Verify the water level is sufficient for the pump to operate.

Pump cycles on and off rapidly

This may indicate the float switch is too low or obstructed, causing it to repeatedly engage and disengage. Adjust the float switch position or clear any obstructions.
