11)

 

If  the  pump  has  a  float  switch,  ensure  it  CANNOT  get  stuck

  on  the  side  of  the  tank  or 

under baffles or similar - warranty service does not cover this situation. FOR PUMPS WITH 
FLOATS:  The water level will need to be 0.6m to 1.2m high inside the tank, for the pump 
to start.   

 

12)

 

Isolation valves must be fitted (ball-valve or gate-valve) on Mains supply and discharge. 

 
13)

 

A  Barrel-Union  must  be  fitted  external  of  the  tank  to  allow  easy  servicing  of  the  pump, 
install it after the elbow to avoid it twisting loose from the pump starting & stopping. 

 
14)

 

It is the INSTALLERS responsibility to check the pumps operation prior to leaving the site 
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS:  Ensure all fittings and joints are watertight and airtight.  Leaks 
will cause the pump to cycle on & off continuously, this is not a fault of the pump. 

 
15)

 

All  Electrical  Wiring  &  Power  Outlet  &  Cable  protection  must  be  in  accordance  with 
applicable Australian Standards. 

 
16)

 

IRRIGATION  USE  -  MANDATORY  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ALL  INSTALLATIONS:   

For  any 

installation  of  pumps  supplying  irrigation,  you  must  fit  an  18L  or  larger  pressure  tank. 

Set tank air pressure: RPS036 set air pressure to 250kPa, RPS050 set air pressure to 350kPa 

 
17)

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE THE STOPPING FUNCTION: 

In some situations the pump will cycle 

a few times after each use. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY FAULT,

 it is a normal function of 

the  internal  pump  controller  releasing  excess  pressure  when  there  is  some  “bounce”  or 
“give”  in  the  pipework  or  connected  fixtures  –

  it  is  often  caused  by  toilet  cisterns  or  a 

short discharge pipe or flex in pipes. It is not a fault with the pump. If the owner does not 
want this to occur, install a 2L or larger Pressure Tank,  set the tank air pressure: RPS036 
set air pressure to 250kPa, RPS050 set air pressure to 350kPa.   

 
18)

 

IF THE PUMP BLEEDS OUT OF THE TOP After startup, the pump may bleed water out of the 
top of the pump 

 this is NOT a fault, it is the normal operation of the pump.   

 

19)

 

Some air can be pumped when the tank is low in water

 

 this is not a fault it is normal 

operation. 

 

20)

 

WARNING:

  NO  RCD/SAFETY  SWITCH  IN  THE 

POWER CIRCUIT?  DO 

NOT

 INSTALL PUMPS!!

 

 
21)

 

WARNING:

  DO  NOT  ATTEMPT  ELECTRICAL  REPAIRS  OF  ANY 

SORT UNLESS YOU ARE AN AUSTRALIAN-LICENSED ELECTRICIAN
