Common Complications
If the pump is not delivering the required volume, or not pumping at all, the following is a checklist
to diagnose the problem.

Measure Flow and compare with Commissioning Report

Check & Clean Modules

Check Array Angle

Check for Shading (early morning and evening in particular)

Check input Voltage (from Modules)

Check Pressure Switch / Float Switch

Check Pressure Gauge readings

Check flow with delivery pipeline disconnected

Check Suction Height

Check for broken or burnt cells on the modules.
If the pump doesn’t work at all, check the following,

Carefully check the Electric Cable to the Motor. Especially check any underwater cable splice.

Check the Pressure Switch/ Float Switch is operating.

Disable the Pressure Switch/ Float Switch and retry starting the Motor (Use care when
disabling – ensure that the Controller is turned off)

Examine pump for a blockage – sand, tree roots, snakes, algae, etc.

Check the Bore has an adequate water supply.

If the pump has a suction head – Check the height from the water to the pump.

Dismantle Pump and check for wear – a worn helical rotor will pump some water at low head,
but the flow will die once the head is increased.

Examine pump, check for corrosion, erosion, and broken pump shaft.

Examine Check Valves

Check the wiring from the Modules.
