In practice, a system can almost invariably be made to perform more efficiently if further re-commissioning is carried out on site. Please note that engineer visits by Dutypoint are priced at one visit to commission one pump set. If there are multiple units on a site, special terms can be negotiated.

Routine user maintenance for Dutypoint pump sets. Dutypoint pump sets have been designed to keep major maintenance requirements to a minimum. Planned maintenance of the pumps and other principal components should therefore be undertaken at the intervals recommended in the manuals referenced below.
XPW Pump Maintenance XPW Pump Maintenance The following information is an extract from the pump manufacturer’s documentation. 8.1 Routine Maintenance The pump requires no detailed maintenance except to: – Periodically verify that the suction grate is clear; – Periodically with the power off, check the condition of the cables and electrical power and earth connections. 8.2 Pump Replacement WARNING: ELECTRICAL PUMPS SHOULD NEVER BE USED OUTSIDE THE LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED IN THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS...
Page 22
XPW Pump Maintenance If the direction of rotation is reversed due to incorrect connection or controller programming, the pump performance will be significantly lower than the nominal values. To verify a correct connection, proceed as follows: Start the electrical pump before it is submerged. Correct rotation is in a counter- clockwise direction as viewed from above. With the pump operating, installed and submerged, use a clamp meter to measure the current.
Pressure Set Point Adjustment Pressure Set Point Adjustment Note: This procedure should only be undertaken by an experienced and qualified installer or engineer. Failure to follow the procedure correctly may cause damage to the product and invalidate any product warranty. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the required value is suitable for the product.
