Parts

Water properties

• This line of submersible pumps is designed to work with clean water such as in the case of pumping deep wells and springs or in irrigation systems containing clean water with solids up to 2 mm (BOS-1/2LM2 and BOS-3/4LM2) and 2.5 mm (BOS-1LM2, BOS-1-1-1/2LM2 and BOS-2LM2) and the content of impurities should not exceed 0.02 % by weight.
• Water temperature should not exceed 95 °F;
• The acid balance of the water should be between 6.5 pH and 8.5 pH.
• The H2 S content should not exceed 1.5 mg/l.

Assembly

• A guide casing should be installed for deep well submersible pump with high flow rate and high power in large diameter wells or similar conditions.
• The pump should be installed vertically, with a maximum of 30 degrees inclined vertically. Under no circumstances should it be installed horizontally..
• The submersible deep well pump must be fully submerged in order to operate properly. Allowing it to run when not submerged will cause severe damage.

Mounting

1. Well check:
   • Check the well diameter: Before purchasing and installing the pump, check if the internal diameter of the well meets the minimum dimensions of our deep well submersible pump.
   • Washing the inside of the well: In case of a new well, remove objects and mud. Use an air compressor or an old submersible pump. When the water in the well meets pumping standards, then install pump in the well.
   • Check the well water: Check if the water quality and temperature meet the conditions described for the pump.

2. Insert a rope through the suspension eyelets of the pump, if the depth is less than 100 ft the rope should be waterproof and UV resistant, otherwise the rope may be damaged due to the vibration of the pump.
   When the depth is more than 100 ft, fix it with steel wire.
   Do not use the power cable or discharge hose to lift or support the pump.

3. Install the discharge pipe using a wrench to secure the connection.

4. Slowly lower the pump into the well and hold the pump upwards. Secure the cable in the pipe with tape every two meters. Confirm that the cables are not pressed against the well wall during pump movement, which can damage the cable.

Start Up

• During the lowering process of the pump, in case of jamming, do not continue forcing. This prevents blockage and damage to the pump.
• Determine the depth of the pump below the surface according to the mud content and the condition of the well. Do not place the pump above the mud. The distance between the pump and the bottom of the well should not be less than 3.3 ft.
• The distance from the submerged pump to the dynamic water level should be less than one meter. Otherwise, the pump may be damaged due to idle operation.
• If the pump is installed too low, a valve should be used in the tubing outside the well to control the flow rate and protect it from tripping over the motor control box because the flow rate is too low.
• Ground the motor line properly to avoid electrical 5leakage shock.

Maintenance

• After installing the pump, recheck the insulation resistance and confirm that there is no damage to the cable. Turn on the pump to test that everything is working properly. Check if the voltage and current at the control box comply with the technical parameters specified on the pump. The pump can be used after checking the flow rate and that there is no vibration or noise.
• After the pump has run for 5 hours for the first time, it should be shut down to check the heat resistance insulation. should not be less than 0.5 MΩ
• The time interval between shutdown and restart should be 20 minutes to prevent pump damage due to incomplete backflow. Start-up times must be considered so that the pump starts up to a maximum of 10 times in a span of 24 hours without exceeding its duty cycle of 50 min on and 20 minutes off.
• After normal operation, regular inspection of voltage, working current and insulation resistance the pump life can be extended.
• If any of the situations listed below exist, shut down the pump immediately for troubleshooting

1. Current exceeds 20% of the weighted current at the weighted head and weighted flow.
2. When the dynamic water level is below the inlet seal, the water is pumped intermittently or will run dry.
3. Violent vibration of the pump and piping.
4. Voltage is too low.
5. A fuse in the control box is blown.
6. The heat resistance of the motor insulation to ground is less than 0.5 MΩ
7. After the pump has run for one year or after it has been submerged for 2 years, take it out to clean debris or to replace worn parts.

Troubleshooting

• Blockage in the pipeline or on the screen.
• Blockage in impeller or wear in float ring or guide vane seal ring.
• Piping is broken or leaking water.
• Water flow is too large or flow is too small in the well and is lower than that of the pump.| • Check for phase failure or bad contact.
• Check if a wire is undersized. If so, use a larger diameter wire.
• Check if the control box is suitable.
• Choose a suitable control box.
• Clean the piping and screen.
• Remove debris inside the pump or replace impeller, guide vane and seal ring.
• Repair or replace piping.
• Replace the small flow pump or stop it for a moment and restart the pump as long as you have  sufficient water flow in the well.
Excessive current or frequent shutdowns.| • Flow rate is too high / height is too short in the well and is lower than the pump.
• Pump shaft is bent / impeller is blocked.
• The rotator is blocked or the thrust bearing is badly worn.| • Adjust flow valve to decrease flow.
• Lower the motor load or replace with a low heat pump.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center.
• Go to a Authorized Service Center.
• The rubber cable is broken.
• Motor seal failure.| • Replace cable.
• Turn off the pump for maintenance and check that everything is tight.
The motor does not start, but it seems to have power.| • Phase failure.
• Voltage drops.| • Check the power cable and connect the fuse.
• Correct voltage drop to meet specified requirements.
