  • Page 3: Pump Specifications

    Pump DAYLIFF DS and DSP submersible multistage centrifugal pumps are specially designed for water supply from boreholes. DS pumps feature stainless steel construction throughout while DSP pumps use engineering plastics for the hydraulic components and feature a floating type impeller that gives superior sand handling capabilities.

    2. DELIVERY & STORAGE Delivery DAYLIFF DS/DSP/D3SP pumps are supplied from the factory in proper packing in which they should remain until they are to be installed. During unpacking and prior to installation, care must be taken when handling the pump to ensure that misalignment does not occur due to bending.

    This will then require expensive pump removal or possibly borehole loss. The following should be noted:- Either MS galvanised steel pipe in 6m or 3m sections or DAYLIFF PVC borehole Ÿ piping in 3m section should be used for all installations below 50m. For shallow well installations up to 50m single length Polypipe can be used.

    The rated maximum current, supply voltage and cosØ are given on a loose data Ÿ plate supplied with the pumps which must be fitted close to the installation site. The required voltage quality for DAYLIFF DS motors measured at the motor Ÿ terminals is -10%/+10% of the nominal rated voltage during continuous operation including variations in the supply voltage and cable losses.

    Fit the first starter pipe into the pump outlet and ensure a tight leak free joint Ÿ while the pump is on the surface. The thread on the starter pipe should not be longer than the threads in the pump outlet or it will interfere with operation of the non-return valve.
  • Page 11: Maintenance

    In order to obtain maximum pump life the number of starts should be controlled Ÿ and should not exceed 30 per hour. It is also necessary to start the pump at least monthly to prevent seizure. 7. MAINTENANCE No regular maintenance is required though periodically, recommended every 3 Ÿ...
