1. The suction line should be installed as short and straight as possible, with a minimum of bends. The internal diameter of the suction pipe must be
equal to, or greater than the ports of the pump.
2. For suction lift over 4 meters, the suction pipe should be of greater diameter than the suction port.
3. The protective rubber films within the center of the suction/discharge flange gaskets must be removed before installation.
4. Be careful not to allow any foreign objects (PVC adhesive gum, dirt, sand etc.) into the pump, otherwise the pump will not operate correctly. To
prevent this problem, it is recommended to use a strainer which already comes with the product.
These pumps are designed for the pumping of non-aggressive water, or water not containing solid particles.
LIQUIDS TO BE PUMPED
2. It is recommended that the plumber/installer provides an adequate draining system to avoid damage in case of leakage, particularly when
installed indoors. When it is installed outside, it should be covered by a weather-proof housing, well ventilated to allow motor heat to escape.
3. The pump should be installed as close as possible to the water source.
4. When use with water heaters, a check valve should be installed between pump (discharge) pipeline and water heater to avoid high-pressure steam
backflow. Besides, negative inlet pressure application is required to avoid cavitation.
6. It is recommended to shut off the pump when the water source is unavailable; although it has the dry run cut off function.
7. The pump has a built-in check valve. It is not necessary install any other valve on the suction.
8. To avoid your furniture damage, do not install the pump on ceiling, carpet or any place close to electrical appliance, outdoor installation must covered by tent.
1. The pump foundation should be rigid enough to absorb any vibration from the motor, and the pump should be securely bolted to the foundation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before starting work on the pump, make sure that the electricity supply has been switched off and that it cannot be accidentally switched on.
*If your problem can not be fixed by the suggested remedy, please contact your pump supplier.
Problem
4. Pump starts
and stops too
frequently
5. Electric shock
6. Pump does
not stop when
water is not
consumed
7. Pump runs
normal but
with very low
discharge flow
Cause
a. Leakage in suction
pipe or air in the water.
b. Discharge flow is too low.
a. Ineffective grounding
a. Poor water supply or
air suck in.
b. Pressure setting is too
high
c. Existing pipe is leaking Fix the leakage.
a. 3-phase motor runs in
wrong rotation.
b. Poor water supply
Remedy
Check the suction pipe and water supply
Set your tap on a higher water flow.
Reactivate grounding.
1. Turn off the power supply and open
the refilling plug to release the air.
Then restart.
2. In case of long suction pipes, turn off
the power and make sure if water
supply is adequate.
Adjust pressure per "ADJUST
PRESSURE SWITCH" in the Manual.
Switch any of the 2 wires from motor
terminal to correct rotation.
Check if water supply is adequate and if
the inlet pipe is blocked.
Problem
1. pump does
not start
2. Pump cuts
out during
operation
3. Pump starts
when no
water is
consumed
Cause
a. No power supply
b. Wrong voltage
c. Inadequate pressure
setting
d. Seized-up pump
a. Seized-up pump
b. Overloaded/
overheated motor
c. Poor water supply
a. Existing pipe is leaking
b. Defective check valve
c. Pump suck in air.
Remedy
Connect the electricity supply
Check if supply voltage is correct.
Adjust pressure per "ADJUST PRESSURE
SWITCH" in the Manual.
Place a screwdriver against the shaft end
of the motor to check it the rotor will spin
freely, and contact your pump supplier.
Same as above
The pump will start after motor cooling
down. If it doesn’t, or the problem
happens too frequently, please contact
your pump supplier.
Check if water supply is adequate and
if the inlet pipe is blocked.
Fix the leakage.
Clean or replace with a new valve.
Check the suction pipe and water supply.
