Fault

Possible Cause

Remedy

4.The pump is running continuously.

a)  The pump cannot deliver the 
 

set pressure. The EZ Boost 

 

controller or the sensor is 

 

defective. 

•  Try to lower the pressure setting, 
 

see section 7.2.3. Note that the pump 

 

may run for about 15 to 20 seconds 

 

before it stops. 

•  Check that the control indicator LED 
 

is flashing.

•  Check that the pipe end of the sensor 
 

is not blocked. If so, remove the 

 

blockage.

•  Try to stop the pump by means of the 
 

on/off button. If this is not possible, 

 

the EZ Boost controller is defective. 

 

Replace the EZ Boost controller.

•  Refer to fault 13 to troubleshoot the 
 

pressure sensor.

5.  The EZ Boost controller indicates 
 

“No contact to pump”.

a) The pump cable is longer than 650 feet.
b) Cable breakage

c) Cross communication with adjacent EZ 
Boost controller.

d) The EZ Boost controller communication 
part is defective.

e)  The BMQE motor communication 
 

part is defective.

•  Reduce the length of the pump cable.
•  Switch off the main power supply to 
 

the EZ Boost controller. Switch on the 

 

main power supply again. The pump is 

 

now connected direct to the main 

 

power supply without interference 

 

from the EZ Boost controller.

 

Does the motor start? 

 

Yes:

 The cable is OK. Go to point d). 

 

No:

 Switch off the mains supply again. 

 

Remove cable and cable plug from the 

 

motor and ohm out cable including 

 

plug.

 

Is the cable OK?

 

Yes:

 The motor is defective. Replace the 

 

motor. 

 

No:

 Replace the cable.

If another EZ Boost controller is installed:
•  If pump cables run parallel to each other 
 

physically separate them by 12 - 14 

 

inches (305-355 mm) or rewire using 

 

shielded cable.

Are the three EZ Boost controller supply 
board LED’s in pos. 2, 3 and 4 on and is the 
control indicator LED flashing? See section 
7.3.3. 

 

Yes: 

The mains supply is OK.

 

Is the LED “No contact to pump” of the 

 

new EZ Boost controller also on?

 

Yes:

 The EZ Boost controller is OK. Go to 

 

point e).

 

No:

 The EZ Boost controller which was 

 

removed is defective.

•  As a consequence of the above 
 

mentioned checks, replace the BMQE 

 

motor.
