Problem
Low flow from the pump
1.
Ensure that the feature pump is fully submersed and not sucking air due to
lack of water in your feature.
2.
Follow routine maintenance.
3.
Ensure pipe work is not blocked, leaking or is laid so that it gets crushed
or kinked.
4.
Keep the height that water is to be pumped from the water surface (known
as head) to a minimum. The higher the head the lower the flow rate and the
more wear on the pump.
5.
Use the largest diameter, smoothest bore pond hose over the shortest
distance and keep hose fittings to a minimum. This removes frictional loss
of flow and so increases pump flow rates.
6.
If the pump
turns off
before
the water level is low, adjust the pump to a level
position so the sensors work properly.
7.
If the pump
doesn’t turn off
when the water level is low, adjust the pump to
a level position so the sensors work properly.
No flow from the pump
1.
Check that the water is topped up.
2
Check power supply is on.
3.
Check fuse and wiring (see Installation).
4.
Follow low flow procedure as above.
