If the light on your Reefe Water Pump is flashing 'Failure', check your water supply. Is the tank empty? Does the suction pipe have an airlock in it? Is the Y-Strainer or Prefilter clogged?
Why does my Reefe VSRM run but not deliver water?
If your Reefe Water Pump runs but doesn't deliver water, here are some possible causes and solutions: * The check valve might be installed backwards. If you are qualified, disconnect the pump from the power supply and disassemble it for cleaning. Otherwise, consult a pump technician. * The discharge shut-off valve (if one is installed) may be closed. Re-prime the pump by turning the power off, then removing the screw above the inlet, and allow the tank water to push the air out. * The pump may be air-locked. Re-fit the plug, turn the power back on and test. * The vertical pumping distance may be too high. Reduce the distance or upgrade to a larger pump.
How to fix a Reefe Water Pump that is not pumping properly?
If your Reefe Water Pump isn't pumping properly, consider the following: * The head might be too high, or the pump might be underspecified. Check the specifications. * The water level might be too low. Check the water levels. * There might be a loss of prime. Check the water level in the tank and re-prime the pump. * There might be a leakage of inlet (suction) pipe. Check the inlet pipe to ensure it's not taking in air, and check all joints. * The inlet pipe may have rises and falls (dips). Fix the suction pipe so it is perfectly straight and level, or slightly falls all the way to the pump.
What to do if Reefe VSRM runs but delivers only a small amount of water?
If your Reefe Water Pump runs but delivers only a small amount of water, consider these possibilities: * The pump may be air-locked. Start and stop it several times, with 2 minutes between each attempt. * The vertical pumping distance may be too high. Reduce the distance or upgrade to a larger pump. * The Y-Strainer or Pre-Filter may be clogged. Clean or replace it. * The foot valve may be blocked. Clean or replace the foot valve (if fitted). * The water level may be too low. Check the suction and water levels. * The impeller or volute openings may be damaged or fully or partially clogged. Disconnect from the power supply, and if you are competent to do so, disassemble pump and clean.
What causes a Reefe Water Pump to run constantly or when no taps are in use?
If your Reefe Water Pump runs constantly or when no taps are in use, it could be due to a leak in the pipework, leaking toilet cisterns, or an underground pipe leak (indicated by wet soil, muddy conditions, or grass growing well!). Contact your dealer for service, or contact us.
What causes my Reefe VSRM fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip when starting?
If the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips when your Reefe Water Pump starts, it could be due to: * The fuse size or circuit breaker may be too small. Have this checked by a licensed electrician. * The impeller or volute opening may be fully or partially clogged. Disconnect from the power supply, and if you are competent to do so, disassemble the pump and clean. * The motor may be defective. Have it checked by a qualified technician.
Why does my Reefe VSRM motor run for a short time, then stop?
If your Reefe Water Pump motor runs for a short time and then stops, it could be due to: * The impeller or volute opening being fully or partially clogged. Disconnect from the power supply, and if you are competent to do so, disassemble the pump and clean. * The motor overheating. Ensure there is good ventilation for the motor.
Why won't my Reefe VSRM run?
If your Reefe Water Pump won't run, consider these potential causes: * The circuit breaker or safety switch might be off, or a fuse might have blown. Top up or use an alternative supply. * The water level in the tank might be too low. Contact a licensed electrician to rectify. * Electrical components may have been flooded. Isolate power at the main switch, remove the plug, and allow it to dry. Only plug it back in if it is safe to do so. If the problem continues, contact a licensed electrician to check the cause. * The pump plug might not be connected properly or has been flooded or wet. Turn it off and wait 30 minutes for it to cool down, then turn it on again. If the overload switch activates again, have a licensed electrician investigate why this has occurred before turning it ...
