Ÿ After the pump has been connected to the mains power supply, it is ready for use.
Ÿ Using a strong rope, submerge the pump at an
angle into the water so that no air pocket forms on
the underside of the pump. Once the pump is
submerged, lower it vertically.
Do not lift the pump with the cable or pressure hose as these
are not designed to carry the weight of the pump.
When fitted the float switch must be able to move so that the
submersible pump does not run dry.
Ÿ Do not operate the pump without pressure hose.
Ÿ Avoid the pump twisting around its longitudinal axis.
Periodically, e.g monthly, when permanently installed, the following should be carried
out;
Ÿ Check casing and cables for damage through visual inspection.
Ÿ Check float switch operation by lifting and shaking the switch to check the free
movement of the contained weights.
Ÿ Rinse the pump with clean water to remove particles, a brush and detergent may be
used. Submerge the pump in a container with clean water and switch on for a short
time to rinse the inside of the pump.
Ÿ Clean all accessible areas of the casing. Remove fibres which may be wound
around the rotor shaft by opening the pressure connection.
Ÿ After a long time of storage “soak” the pump so that any possible dirt residues may
be removed.
