Troubleshooting

Pump does not start when water is used.

Check the 230v ~ 50hz power supply to the unit. Ensure the water flow is sufficient to trigger the sensor. Verify the unit is correctly installed in-line and the outlet is not blocked.

Pump cycles on and off rapidly (short-cycling).

This could indicate a leak in the system or a pressure vessel issue. Check for any dripping taps or leaks downstream from the control unit. Ensure the system maintains pressure when the pump is off.

Low water pressure despite pump running.

Verify the pump is operating correctly and at its rated capacity. Check for blockages in the intake or outlet pipes. Ensure the control unit is within its operational flow rate (83 L/min) and pressure (10 bar) limits.

Unit is not receiving power.

Confirm the power outlet is functional and providing 230v ~ 50hz. Check the connection to the control unit and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
