Clarke International PW50A Petrol Water Pump - 2" Inlet/Outlet

The PW50A can pump both clean and dirty water, including water with solids in suspension up to 4mm in diameter.

The pump has a maximum head of 30.6 metres, indicating the maximum vertical distance it can push water.

The pump features 2" (50mm) inlet and outlet ports, so hoses of the same diameter are compatible.

Yes, the pump typically requires priming, especially on initial use or after the pump has run dry, to ensure it can effectively draw water.

Engine oil should be checked before each use and topped up or changed according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations, typically found in the owner's manual.

While designed for performance, prolonged continuous operation may require periodic cooling periods for the petrol engine. Refer to the engine manual for specific duty cycle recommendations.

The pump weighs 23.3kg and has dimensions of 470x390x395mm, making it relatively portable for its power.

Check fuel level. Ensure the fuel valve is open. Verify the engine oil level. Check spark plug connection. If still unresponsive, consult the engine manual for further troubleshooting.

Inspect and clean the inlet strainer. Check the inlet and outlet hoses for kinks or blockages. Ensure the water source is adequate. Clean the impeller housing if debris is suspected.

Ensure the engine has sufficient cooling airflow. Check the engine oil level. Do not operate the pump continuously without allowing the engine to cool periodically.
