How to troubleshoot a BUSCH Water Pump that won't start?
If your BUSCH Water Pump isn't starting, there are a few potential causes. First, check the power supply to ensure the motor is receiving the correct voltage. If the power supply is adequate, the motor itself may be defective and require replacement. Alternatively, the coupling (CPL) could be defective and also need replacing.
Why is my BUSCH Water Pump running too hot?
There are several reasons why your BUSCH Water Pump might be overheating. Insufficient cooling could be the issue; try removing any dust and dirt from the machine and check the cooling fan. The ambient temperature may also be too high, so ensure it's within the permitted range. Also, check the oil level and top up if it is low. Finally, the exhaust filters (EF) might be partially clogged and need replacement.
What to do if my BUSCH Water Pump isn't reaching usual suction pressure?
If your BUSCH Water Pump isn't reaching its usual suction pressure, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking the oil level and topping it up if it's low. The inlet screen (IS) might be partially clogged, so clean it. If your pump has an optional inlet filter cartridge, it might be clogged and needs replacement.
Why is my BUSCH Water Pump fuming or expelling oil?
If your BUSCH Water Pump is fuming or expelling oil droplets through the gas discharge, consider these possibilities: the exhaust filters (EF) may be partially clogged and need replacing. Ensure the exhaust filter (EF) with o-ring is correctly fitted. Check the float valve (FV) and the oil pipe for any clogging and remove it. If you have a version with an oil return valve and the machine runs for more than 2 hours without interruption, regularly shut down the machine for short periods of time.
Why is the oil in my BUSCH Water Pump black?
Black oil in your BUSCH Water Pump can be caused by several factors. The oil change intervals may be too long, or the inlet filter (if equipped) may be defective and needs replacing. Also, check if the machine runs too hot.
What causes emulsified oil in my BUSCH Water Pump?
If the oil in your BUSCH Water Pump is emulsified, it's likely that the machine has sucked in liquids or significant amounts of vapor.
