FAQs
What is the maximum particle size this pump can handle?
This pump is designed for clean water but can handle small solid particles up to 5mm in diameter.
How does the automatic cut-out feature work?
The pump features an automatic low water cut-out that switches the pump off when the water level drops to approximately 20mm, preventing dry running and motor damage.
What is the maximum depth of water this pump can operate in?
The pump can operate in water depths from a minimum of 20mm up to a maximum of 7 meters.
What is the maximum height the pump can push water?
The pump has a maximum head of 8.5 meters, meaning it can push water vertically up to this height.
Can this pump be used for sewage or heavily soiled water?
No, this pump is designed for clean water and is not suitable for sewage, abrasive liquids, or water with heavy contamination.
What is the required power supply for this pump?
The pump requires a 230V, 50Hz power supply.
How often should I clean the pump?
It is recommended to inspect the intake for debris regularly, especially after heavy use or if pumping water with potential contaminants. Clean the exterior as needed with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not start
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning 230V outlet. Ensure the water level is above the minimum activation depth (20mm). Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Low water flow or no water discharge
Inspect the intake screen and outlet hose for blockages from debris. Ensure the outlet hose is not kinked. Confirm the pump is not running dry (water level should be sufficient for operation).
Pump cycles on and off frequently
This may indicate the water level is too low or fluctuating around the cut-out point. Ensure the pump is positioned correctly and the water source is stable. If used in a sump, check the sump pit's design and inflow rate.
Pump runs but no water is pumped
Check for airlocks in the system. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the outlet hose is properly connected and free of leaks. The maximum head (8.5m) may be exceeded if the discharge point is too high.
