Installation (continued) d) Suction To maintain optimum performance from your pump, the suction pipe should be: • Kept to the shortest length possible - place the pump as close to the water source as possible. • Re-enforced crush resistant (non-collapsible) hose or pipe. •...

Installation (continued) For shallow well applications it is recommended to set the pressure switch cut-out to 30kPa (5psi) below the maximum pump pressure when the system is operating with maximum suction lift. g) Valves Onga recommend the use of shut off valves in suction & discharge pipe to assist when maintenance is required.

Installation (continued) Piping All pipe threads should be tightened correctly to prevent leaks. An air leak in the suction pipe will prevent the pump from operating. Galvanised or poly- thene pipe can be used. For correctly sized pipe refer to pipe friction tables. Always use suction pipe that is the same size or larger than the pump suc- tion port.
Installation (continued) Fittings: Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap. Do not connect system to a high pressure or city water system. Electrical Ground motor before connecting to electrical power supply.
Electrical (Continued) Voltage Voltage at motor must not be more than 1% above or 6% below motor nameplate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less or more than the above when the motor is running at full load, consult power company.

Operation (Continued) The self-priming time range is 1 to 5 minutes for a height difference of 2 to 3 metres, under normal installation conditions. Normal conditions are understood to be: with suction having an internal diameter of DN 50mm, water temperature at 20 C, and 50Hz mains power supply.

Operation (continued) If an ‘offset’ injector installation is used, it may not be practical to ensure an even suction rise from the water source to the pump. If this is the case, install a tee in both the suction and pressure pipes at the highest point(s) for ease of priming.
Pump Maintenance & Service Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best results, use only genuine Onga factory parts.Be sure to prime pump before starting. Before removing pump for maintenance or service: SWITCH OFF POWER to pump before proceeding. Disconnect the pump from the mains/power supply.
Troubleshooting Guide Symptom Cause Remedy Pump failure or reduced Suction leaks / lost prime Pump must be primed; make capacity or reduced sure that the pump casing is discharge pressure. full of water. Refer priming instructions. Make sure there are no leaks in suction piping.

Troubleshooting Guide (Continued) Symptom Cause Remedy Pump running too slowly. Low voltage. Check voltage at motor terminals and at meter while pump is running – this check should be performed by a qualified electrician only. If voltage is low check for loose connections or consult your power company.
