pump is particularly critical in coral water bodies. Cases are well-known, which a impeller pump had so strongly run
after 100 hours already that the lip seal on the wave was ground in. In these cases sharp crystal parts of the coral
sand assess in the rubber seal and affect like an abrasive the high-grade steel shank of the impeller pump. If the
generator were mounted over the water level it is particularly unfavourable for the impeller pump. After the first start
some seconds will pass by, until the impeller can suck in cooling water. This short unlubricated operation time
damages the impeller. The increased wear can lead after short time to the loss. (see special notes: "Effects on the
impeller pump, if the generator is mounted over the waterline")
