How do I keep the pump running after priming and starting. The pump will shut off after a few mins

To keep the Blue-White PROSERIES-M CHEM-PRO MD-3 pump running after priming and starting, ensure the following:

1. Flow Verification Sensor (FVS): If installed, verify that it is correctly configured. The pump will stop if the sensor detects no flow. Navigate to the Set FVS menu, adjust settings as needed, and save the changes.

2. Motor Speed Adjustment: Set the motor speed within the recommended range to avoid operational issues. The brushless DC motor allows fine adjustments in increments of 0.001% to 0.05%.

3. Maximum Suction Lift: Ensure that the suction lift does not exceed 23 feet (7 meters) of water at 0 psig, as exceeding this can cause the pump to stop.

4. Check for Errors or Alarms: If the pump enters an alarm mode (e.g., diaphragm failure or flow issues), address the cause before restarting.

5. Proper Installation: Confirm that the pump head, discharge, and suction components are correctly installed and sealed to prevent leaks or airlocks.

Following these steps will help maintain continuous operation.
