Cleaning

Bilge IC should be wiped clean regularly to maintain optimal performance and ensure

no clogging occurs. See Fig 12 and Fig 13 for cleaning Strainer IC.

WARNING:

Do not use abrasive cleaners. 

Fig 12 For Cleaning - Detach Top Cover 

Fig 13 For Cleaning - Unscrew

of Strainer IC 

Valve Housing

The unique ezi-clamp ring makes installation and maintenance of the pump easier

with a retaining screw which means the head can be fitted or replaced easily by one

fitter, without the risk of dropping screws.  

15. HELPFUL HINTS

16. TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

POTENTIAL SOLUTION

Gulper IC fails 

to operate

The Strainer IC may need 

cleaned.

Blockage in valve housing

Unclip the top cover of the Strainer IC, clean and    

inspect for debris (Fig 5). Carefully remove the lid 

and clean the inside walls, if necessary unscrew the 

valve housing assembly for further cleaning.

Isolator switch not working / 

not switched on.

Pump circuit  has no power. 

Check the isolator switch is on and working.

Check electrical connections to ensure pump is   

receiving power as normal and free from corrosion.    

Check power supply.

Main power (Isolator switch) 

supply OFF /not working. 

Loose wiring connection

Check the isolator switch is on.

Pump circuit  has no 

power 

Check electrical connections to ensure pump is 

receiving power as normal and free from corrosion.   

Check there is 12/24 volts from the battery

Fuse blown or loose 

electrical connection

Check the in-line fuse & ensure all electrical 

connections are tight and free from corrosion. If fuse 

has blown, check for reverse polarity, closed valves 

or seacocks, then for debris in pump head and clean 

out if necessary (refer to installation section).  

Replace fuse and run pump.
