Need help?Do you have a question about the Seaflo SFBP1-G600-07 and is the answer not in the manual?
Describes automatic pump activation when water level reaches 40-50mm and stopping at 20-30mm.
Explains how to connect wires for manual operation, bypassing automatic functions.
The SEAFLO Multi Port Shower Sump Pump is designed for managing water in marine environments, specifically for handling shower and bilge water. It serves as a crucial component in maintaining a dry and functional vessel by efficiently collecting and discharging unwanted water.
The primary function of this device is to pump out water from shower sumps or bilges. It operates with an automatic function, detecting rising water levels and activating the pump to remove the water. The system is designed to start pumping when the bilge water reaches a certain level, specifically between 40-50 mm (2 inches), as detected by a second detector cell. Once activated, the pump continues to operate until the water level drops to a lower threshold, typically between 20-30 mm, and the first detector cell is no longer submerged. This automatic operation ensures that the sump or bilge remains clear of water without constant manual intervention.
A key feature of the shower sump pump system is the integrated schistose valve. This valve plays a vital role in preventing backflow of water once the pump stops working. When the pump deactivates, the valve closes, ensuring that the discharged water does not re-enter the hose or the sump, thereby maintaining the effectiveness of the pumping action and preventing re-flooding.
The pump also offers a manual or continuous operation mode. By connecting the brown wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal, the shower sump pump will start working immediately and continuously. This allows for situations where a constant pumping action is desired, effectively transforming it into a normal bilge pump without the automatic detection function. This flexibility makes it suitable for various water management scenarios on a boat.
The installation of the SEAFLO Multi Port Shower Sump Pump is straightforward, designed for secure fastening to the hull. It requires screws to be inserted into its four designated mounting holes, ensuring a stable and reliable setup within the vessel.
Electrical connections are critical for the safe and proper operation of the pump. Users must always connect the black lead to the negative (-) terminal and the brown or brown/white lead to the positive (+) terminal. It is imperative to use the specified fuse to protect the electrical system. All wire connections must be sealed with a marine sealant to prevent corrosion and ensure electrical integrity in the harsh marine environment. Furthermore, all electrical wiring should be clamped, with connections positioned well above the bilge water level to minimize exposure to moisture. When preparing connections, only the necessary amount of insulation should be removed, and all wiring connections should be sealed with a marine sealant to prevent oxidation.
Safety guidelines emphasize that the shower sump pump is exclusively designed for handling water or bilge water and should not be used with other liquids. Additionally, the pump should not be run dry, as this can lead to damage and reduce its lifespan. Adhering to these usage features ensures both the longevity of the device and the safety of the vessel's electrical system.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the continued efficient operation of the SEAFLO Multi Port Shower Sump Pump. The design facilitates easy access for cleaning and inspection. To begin maintenance, the lid of the container can be simply lifted, providing access to the internal components.
The motor and float switch assembly are designed to be easily pulled out. This feature allows for convenient removal of accumulated hair, debris, or other obstructions that might impede the pump's performance. If necessary, the filter can also be removed and washed to ensure optimal water flow and prevent clogging. This ease of disassembly and cleaning helps in maintaining the pump's efficiency and extending its operational life.
At the end of the product's life cycle, responsible disposal and material recycling are encouraged. Users are advised to dispose of the product according to applicable local laws and regulations. Where possible, disassembling the product and recycling its component materials is recommended to minimize environmental impact.
