VADA SUMP PUMP WITH VERTICAL FLOAT V-150VF INSTALLATION MANUAL
SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Sump Pump will not
stop, even though
there is barely
water in the pit The float switch
is trapped in the
‘up’ position Ensure that the float can move freely. Ensure
the pit size is in line with the recommendation
(300mm (L) x 300mm (W) x 400mm (H).
The float switch
is fused ‘on’ The float switch needs replacing. Contact
a licensed professional, or get in contact
with a Reece branch for support.
Sump Pump runs
intermittently;
thermal protection
inside the pump is
tripping and resetting The Sump Pump is not
completely submerged Ensure the pump is covered with water.
Ensure the pit size is in line with
the minimum recommended size of
300mm (L) x 300mm (W) x 400mm (H).
Water temperature
is too high This Sump Pump is designed to handle water up
to 40°C. If the water is above this temperature,
the pump is not expected to function.
When the Sump Pump
shuts off, water in
the discharge line is
running back into the
pit, lifting the float
switch. It is likely
a check valve has
not been installed. Fit a check valve at the pump discharge so
that water cannot return to the pit. As per
installation instruction a check valve MUST be
installed. Refer to page 9–10 for instructions.
SYMPTOM CAUSE SOLUTION
Sump Pump
does not start The float switch is not
in the ‘on’ position Wait until there is enough water in the pit to start
the pump by filling water from a garden hose
into the pit and visibly looking to check that
the float operation is not impaired. Physically
lift the float switch vertically if needed.
The float is caught
on something and
cannot rise Ensure that the float can move freely. Ensure
the pit size is in line with the recommendation
(300mm (L) x 300mm (W) x 400mm (H).
There is no
power supply Ensure that the pump is
connected to a live outlet.
Reset the circuit breaker. If a problem
persists contact a licensed service technician
or electrician to evaluate the fuses and
circuit breakers.
The Sump Pump is
‘blocked’ (i.e. the
impeller is jammed) Disconnect the pump from the power outlet,
and check to ensure no foreign matter is jamming
the suction at the bottom of the Sump Pump.
If there is foreign matter externally, remove it.
No water from
the pump There are blockages
in the pump or
discharge line Disconnect the pump from the power
outlet and check the pump housing and
discharge for foreign matter. Ensure that
the pump is not attempting to handle solids
more than 15mm O.D. Ensure the pump is
suitable for your application (see page 6).
There is excessive lift Ensure that the height that you are trying
to lift water is within the pump’s capacity.
See the pump performance chart on page 14.
If your requirements fall outside this chart,
you will need a different pump. Contact
your local Reece branch for support.
There is not enough
water to start the
Sump Pump Wait until there is enough water in the pit.
Ensure the float switch is operating freely.
When water is present, the pump will function.
