If your Calpeda Water Pump motor isn't starting, first, ensure the mains frequency and voltage match the electrical characteristics on the pump's plate. If the power supply is correct, check for any blockage of the shaft. Refer to the “Blocked pump” instructions to remove any obstructions.
What to do if my Calpeda META is blocked?
If your Calpeda Water Pump is blocked, it might be due to rust from inactivity. Try using a screwdriver to turn the notch on the back of the shaft, but first, turn off the electricity. Another cause could be solid objects in the impeller. If possible, take apart the pump casing and remove any debris.
What to do if my Calpeda Water Pump works but no water comes out?
If your Calpeda Water Pump is running but no water is coming out, check for air leaks in the suction tube connections, drain plugs, the pump filling point, or the suction pipe gaskets. Ensure all parts are tightly sealed. Also, the foot valve might be blocked or the suction pipe might not be fully immersed in the liquid; clean or replace the valve and ensure the pipe is properly submerged.
Why does my Calpeda META Water Pump not stop running?
If your Calpeda Water Pump doesn't stop, the non-return valve may be broken, blocked, or clogged. Inspect the valve and remove any solid obstructions. Another reason could be that the stop pressure (parameter UP01) is set too high; check its value and lower it if needed. Also, incorrect membrane pressure, empty or broken membrane can cause this issue. Check the membrane pressure, if necessary install a tank of maximum 8 litres.
How to increase flow in my Calpeda META Water Pump?
If your Calpeda Water Pump has insufficient flow, it could be due to pipes or accessories with too small a diameter, causing excessive head loss. Use pipes and accessories suitable for your application. Another cause might be deposits or solid objects in the impeller's internal passages; clean the impeller and install a suction filter to prevent re-entry of foreign materials. If the suction head is excessive, try partially closing the delivery gate valve or reduce the level difference between the pump and the liquid source. If the suction pipe is too long, move the pump closer to the suction tank or use a wider diameter pipe.
Why is my Calpeda META making noise and vibrating?
If your Calpeda Water Pump is making unusual noises and vibrations, start by checking if any solid objects are obstructing the impeller. Also, worn bearings can cause noise; consider replacing them. Ensure the pump and pipes are firmly attached and properly anchored. If the flow is too strong for the delivery pipe's diameter, use larger pipes or reduce the pump flow. Check that the mains voltage is suitable.
Why is my Calpeda META leaking from the mechanical seal?
If your Calpeda Water Pump is leaking from the mechanical seal, the seal may have run dry or become stuck. In such cases, replace the seal. Ensure the pump casing and suction pipe are full of liquid and free of air. Install a suction filter and use a seal suitable for the liquid being pumped. If there's a slight initial drip during filling or start-up, allow the seal to adjust to the shaft's rotation.
