INSTALLATION
TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING!
The input hose or pipe should be low enough in the water to ensure that if the
water level falls, the pump will not run dry. Ensure that this is checked when in operation.
NOTE: A leaking hose or pipe will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.
Positioning the Hose or Pipe
Position the input hose or pipe so that it rises from the water drawing source to the pump. Avoid
positioning the input hose or pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air
bubbles from the input hose or pipe and impede the priming process (see section ‘starting the
pump’ for description on priming the pump)
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The pump does not start,
or pump water
Pump is not connected to the power supply
Pump is blocked
Pump is not connected to the water supply
Check that the pump is connected to the mains power supply
Disconnect the pump from the mains power. Inspect the discharge outlet and lter
Ensure the pump is connected to the water supply
The pump does not supply water
when the motor is running
The pump has not been primed
Suction line is leaking
The pump is sucking air
Pump is blocked
Pump is not producing enough pressure
Water source does not have enough water
The suction height is too high
The hose diameter is too small
Fill the pump with water, ensure the suction line and pump are lled with water
Check the suction line for leaks and replace hose or pipe if it is damaged or worn
Ensure all connections and ttings are secured tightly
Disconnect the mains power and check the discharge outlet and lter for any foreign matter
Check all parts of the pump and clean
Wait until the water source increases so the pump can operate
Ensure the suction height is no higher than 8m
Ensure the hose diameter is at least 25mm (suction line) and 19mm (discharge line)
Tube or piping does not stay on
the male thread when water is
travelling through
The hose or tubing may be worn or vary
slightly with the dimensions
Add a hose clamp to prevent leaks and secure the hose or pipe
The pump operates intermittently
There is a water leak in the household
plumbing
The voltage is out of range
Air ow is not allowing the motor to cool
The motor is faulty or damaged l
Inspect and x any leaks
Supply the pump in accordance with the rating label requirements
(230-240V)
Ensure the pump is in a well ventilated area

Poor Performance
low pressure ow
Faulty suction line Check all the suction lines for leaks or any damage. Replace if they are faulty and check that
you are using a reinforced hose to prevent the hose from collapsing
