Maintenance
The only regular attention your new pressure system requires is to check any
supplementary pressure tank’s air charge every 6 months. This can be checked at the air
valve with a tyre gauge. Do not charge tank to a higher pressure than 70% of the maximum
system pressure.
To check air pressure in tank:
1. Switch off pump.
2. Open outlet nearest to pump to release water pressure.
3. Charge tank to desired setting using air pump and check with tyre gauge.
4. Switch on.
5. Close outlet.
*NOTE:
a) For protection, Davey pump motors are tted with an automatic “over temperature”
cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at
pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.
b) The Torrium2 controller may have to be reset after rectifying any of the above operating
troubles. This is done by pushing in the “Prime” button and releasing it after 2 seconds.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based
o-ring and gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult your Davey
Dealer for advice.
WARNING : Under no circumstances should Torrium2 controller be
disassembled. Failure to observe this warning will expose persons to the
possibility of personal injury and may also result in damage to other property.
Do not dismantle, no user serviceable parts, spring under pressure.
Trouble Shooting Check List
a) PUMP HAS STOPPED OR MOTOR RUNS FOR SHORT PERIOD ONLY WHEN
SWITCHED ON OR PRIME BUTTON PUSHED, BUT DOES NOT PUMP - YELLOW
STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED
1. Suction line and pump body not lled with water.
2. Air leaks in suction lines or suction pipe not under water.
3. Air trapped in suction lines (also possible with ooded suction due to uneven rise in
piping; eliminate humps and hollows).
4. No water at source or water level too low.
5. Valve on suction lines closed. Open valve & pump will restart automatically or
press “Prime” button.
b) PUMP SWITCHES ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY (CYCLING)
1. Cycling may occasionally be caused by oat valves lling tanks.
2. Leaking taps, oat valves etc. check plumbing.
3. Leaking check valve/foot valve.
c) MOTOR DOESN’T START WHEN SWITCHED ON - INDICATOR LIGHTS NOT
ILLUMINATED
1. Power not connected or no power available from supply outlet.
d) MOTOR STOPS - YELLOW STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED
1. Motor ”over temperature” cut-out tripped. Consult Davey dealer.
2. Motor not free to turn - e.g. a jammed impeller. Consult Davey dealer.
