Maintenance and service
9.1 Maintenance
If the pump is used alternately in several boreholes, it must be
decontaminated before every sampling event or before possible storing.
Clean the pump, cable, straining wire, etc. on the outside. Then dismantle
the pump. Thoroughly clean the pump components before reassembling
the pump. See section 10. Dismantling and assembly.
As the demineralised water (approx. 25 ml) in the motor may have been
wholly or partly replaced by the contaminated water, it is necessary to
refill the motor with demineralised water. See section 5.4 Checking of
liquid in motor.
For the replacement of wear parts including impellers, see fig. 10, a service
kit (art. no.: 12274301) is available. The kit includes two complete pump
stages. Replace the wear parts including impellers as shown in section
10. Dismantling and assembly.
In addition, a service kit (product number 12274311) is available. This kit
includes wear parts for two pumps, i.e. 4 washers, pos. 285, and 4 seals,
pos. 207. See fig. 10.
The rinsing water from the decontamination and the motor liquid
must be collected and disposed of in accordance with local regulations
9.2 Service
The MP 1/Redi-Flo2 pump is specially designed for the purging and sampling of contaminated and/or toxic
groundwater. As a precaution, Eijkelkamp Soil & Water cannot undertake to service the pump.
Only pumps that can be certified as uncontaminated, i.e. pumps containing no hazardous and/or toxic material,
may be returned to Eijkelkamp Soil & Water for servicing.
To prevent injury to the health of persons involved and to the environment, a document certifying that the
pump is clean is required.
Eijkelkamp Soil & Water must receive this certificate before the product. Otherwise Eijkelkamp Soil & Water will
refuse to accept the product for servicing. Possible costs of returning the product are paid by the customer.
If the converter is defective, please contact your nearest Eijkelkamp Soil & Water distributor.
