Visually check the area between the pump motor and the pump housing for
water leaks. Also check the area of the frame beneath the pump/motor
interface for water. If a leak is found contact Pur-Water for replacement
parts.
Task # 3:
Check Pump Pressure.
Note:
The pump will only come on if there is water in the reclaim tank to satisfy the
low-low level switch in compartment #3, or if the low-low level switch is manually
overridden.
The pump pressure gage should show pressure when the motor is running.
This pressure will vary depending upon the mode of operation of the reclaim
unit. In the low frequency recirculation mode the pressure should be about
15-20 psig and at higher pump speeds, when there is a demand signal from
the car wash, the pump pressure may read as high as 50-55 psig.
If there is no pressure:
o
Check to make sure the reclaim unit is on. See Task # 1.
o
Check to make sure the motor is running.
o
Tap the pressure gage to ensure the gage is not stuck.
o
Check to make sure there is water flow to the pump and the pump is
primed. If the pressure falls below 3 psig the pressure switch should
shut the pump down.
Note:
If there is no pressure within one minute, turn off the power to prevent
damage to the pump. Re-prime the suction piping and basket strainer before
restarting the pump.
