Product Information

Full details

The Clarke HSE130A Submersible Water Pump is designed for homeowners and professionals dealing with water management tasks. It offers a robust solution for draining flooded areas, circulating water in pools and ponds, and handling both clean and dirty water with small solids. Its key benefit lies in its automatic operation via a built-in float switch and its durable cast iron construction. A potential caveat is its maximum head height of 7 meters, which may limit its use for very deep submersion or high-lift applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum depth the pump can operate at?

The pump is designed for submersible use, but the maximum *lift height* (head) it can achieve is 7 meters. Ensure it is placed at a depth appropriate for your task and the desired discharge height.

Can this pump handle gravel or large debris?

The HSE130A is designed for water with *small solids in suspension*. It is not suitable for pumping large debris, gravel, or thick sludge. The inlet filter should be checked and cleaned regularly.

How long is the power cable?

The pump comes with a 10-meter H07RNF power cable.

What size outlet connection does it have?

It features a 32mm diameter outlet hose connector and a 1.25" BSP diameter outlet.

Does the float switch need to be replaced?

The float switch is built-in. To maintain its functionality, ensure it is kept clean and operates freely without obstruction.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning of the inlet filter and checking the float switch for free movement are the primary maintenance tasks. Inspect the power cable for damage before use.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not turn on.

Check that the power cable is securely connected to a working 230V outlet. Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the 'off' position. Verify that the water level is high enough to activate the float switch.

Pump runs but water is not being discharged.

Check the outlet hose or pipe for kinks or blockages. Ensure the outlet connection is secure. Verify that the head height is not exceeding the pump's maximum capability (7 meters).

Reduced water flow.

Clean the pump's inlet filter and impeller housing for any debris. Check the outlet hose for partial blockages or restrictions.

Pump cycles on and off frequently.

Ensure the float switch has adequate space to move freely and is not obstructed. Check that the water level fluctuations are sufficient to operate the switch correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the pump on a firm, stable surface in the water, ensuring the inlet filter is clear.
  2. Connect the appropriate hose or pipe to the 32mm outlet hose connector or the 1.25" BSP outlet.
  3. Ensure the float switch has enough vertical clearance to operate freely between its lowest 'off' and highest 'on' positions.
  4. Connect the 10m H07RNF power cable to a suitable 230V power supply.

Compatibility:

  • Power: Requires a standard 230V, 50Hz electrical outlet.
  • Outlet: Compatible with 32mm diameter hoses or 1.25" BSP threaded fittings.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the pump's inlet filter and the area around the float switch to prevent blockages.
  • Storage: If storing for extended periods, clean the pump thoroughly and store it in a dry place.
  • Inspection: Before each use, inspect the power cable and plug for any damage.
