13. Maintenance and Cleaning
In normal circumstances the pump does not require any type of maintenance other
than regular checks for leaks and cleaning to remove dust, spiderwebs etc
In the event of repairs or maintenance the pump must be disconnected from the
power supply and the water supply isolated before starting.
When restarting the pump, ensure that it has been correctly reassembled, so as
not to create a risk for persons and property.
Cleaning the suction filter
• Switch off the electric power supply to the pump
• Close the inlet isolation valve (if fitted)
• Drain the pump by opening the drainage bung
• Unscrew the cover of the filter chamber, with your hands or with an appropriately
sized flat bladed screwdriver
• Extract the filter cartridge
• Rinse the cartridge under running water and clean with a soft brush
• Reinstall the filter into the pump
• Refill the pump with water before fitting the filter cap
• Open the isolation valve before turning the power back on
Fitting a modest 2, 8 or 18 litre pressure tank to the outlet/discharge line will
prevent frequent and unnecessary pump restarts. The tank will improve the
pump operation, reduce electrical energy energy wasteage
Set pressure tank precharge to 66% of the max system pressure
