BOOSTER PUMP CYCLES ON AND OFF EVERY FEW
SECONDS (PRESSURIZING SYSTEM): PRESSURE
TANK MUST be used with system. Pre charge tank via
air fitting to 0.15 bar/2 PSI less than cut in pressure.
Turn power off and release water pressure before
setting pre charge. Modern "captive air" tank will not
need pre charging again. GALVANIZED TANK (without
air bladder) MUST BE RECHARGED with air about
once per year as air dissolves into water. Use tire
pump or compressor.
BOOSTER PUMP TURNS ON PERIODICALLY WHEN NO
WATER IS BEING USED. (1) Water is leaking some-
where after the check valve (check valve must be
installed at pump outlet). (2) Check valve leaks inter-
nally. Foot valve, if present, also leaks.
PUMP RUNS TOO SLOW OR STALLS IN LOW LIGHT
(Array Direct, Non Battery System): (1) Solar array or
wire is undersized. (2) RPM speed control pot is turned
to low RPM, turn full clock wise. Contact dealer or
factory.
PUMP WON'T TURN, shaft (turn the fan) can't be turned
by hand. Should blow fuse or breaker: (1) After a period
of disuse or storage, parts may lock up. Grab shaft (fan
side of motor) lightly with pliers and try turning it
backwards. (2) Debris jammed in pump. Disconnect
plumbing, pour water into outlet, and run pump in
REVERSE . Watch for debris exiting inlet. Check
performance - damage is likely. (3) See "Pump Frozen".
PUMP JAMS, MAKES CRUNCHING NOISES, black
material in outlet: Internal parts are broken, either by
debris in pump, severe freezing, external shock or just
bad luck. See "Rebuild/Exchange Service".
WATER DAMAGE: MOTOR SUBMERGED OR DRIPPED
ON. Inspect motor. If in very poor condition, motor may
be beyond repair. Contact factory. If motor was not run
wet for very long, it may need only new bearings.
CORRECT THE CAUSE of damage. If your water level
is too unstable, contact your dealer or factory about a
submersible pump.
PUMP FROZEN BY LOW TEMPERATURE: (overload LED
is ON) Allow it to thaw. Observe/test performance. If
damaged, replace or rebuild. Check all plumbing for
damage and leaks and protect from future freezing.
