z
Should the pump run out of water it will stop as part of a "protective logic
sequence", detailed below.
The fault should be rectified before re-starting the pump. Check that there is
sufficient water supply to the tank and also ensure that all terminal fitting
outlets are closed.
Probable Cause
Electrical supply.
Pump Jammed.
Damaged pressure switch.
Recommended static outlet
heads exceeded.
Incorrect pipe sizes.
Limited water supply
Leak in system.
Damaged reed switch, P.C.B or
pressure switch.
Low pressure in pressure
vessel.
Debris under non-return valve
sealing face.
Not fitted correctly.

on system
Check tap washers, w/c valve washers, pipe joints.
Close system outlet isolation valve - does pump continue to
run? Contact Stuart Turner
If pump continues to run, this indicates a closed circuit in
either the flow switch reed, pressure switch or P.C.B. in the
terminal box. Contact Stuart Turner.
Check pressure in pressure vessel (see Section 7.11).
Run at full flow to try and flush away debris or remove, clean
or replace non-return valve.
Check that the hose is pushed firmly onto the pump inlet/
