    Congratulations on selecting a Dayliff DSD borehole Pump. They are manufactured to the highest standards and if installed and operated correctly will give many years of efcient and trouble free service. Careful reading of this Installation Manual is therefore important, though should there be any queries they should be referred to the equipment supplier.

Three phase motors require a remote DOL starter; A DAYLIFF SCT electronic Pump Controller is recommended for comprehensive pump control including low level, motor overload and irregular power supply protection.

  • Page 9 Pumps can be installed either vertically or horizontally, Ÿ though if installed horizontally the discharge outlet should never fall below the horizontal plane. For all horizontal Allowed installations a flow sleeve should be used and also there should be a minimum of 0.5m water depth above the pump to prevent the formation of a vortex.
  • Page 10: Pump Operation

    When positioning the pump it is important to ensure adequate motor Ÿ cooling through water flow past the motor. It is recommended that the complete pump is submerged at least 3m below Ÿ the dynamic water level and if possible the pump should be installed at least 3m from the bottom of the borehole to prevent silting damage.

    As the valve is being opened, the water output should be monitored to ensure Ÿ that the pump output does not exceed the borehole capacity as indicated by the pump starting and stopping on the low level relay (if fitted) or uneven water flow at the outlet.
