1.
Disassemble and check for obstructions in suction line from sump
to pump.
2.
Disassemble and check for obstruction in pump casing and
impeller.
B.
High "Cyclone Out" pressure above 10 P.S.I.
1.
Check for restriction in return line to sump.
2.
Check for clogged cyclones.
C.
Clogging of ceramic nozzles.
1.
In a rare case of clogged nozzles, Stop pump motor and remove cap
nut to inspect inside of ceramic nozzle. If clogged, a 1/8 inch wire
may be used to free up and clear material from cyclone. After
cleaning replace nozzle and cap nut.
2. Check input strainer, perforations should be sized less than 1/8”
diameter to avoid clogging 1/4” hole in the end of the cyclone cone.
3. Run the system long enough to clear debris from
input lines before shut down (1 to 2 minutes)
