of the individual a/c unit.
SERVICING
- This Aspen pump, like all mechanical equipment, requires maintenance.
- Every six months the reservoir should be removed, taking care to clean the filter, float and reservoir thoroughly prior to reassembly. We recommend this is done in the Spring and the Autumn, using a chemically compatible anti-bacterial wash.
- Take great care to replace the float with the magnet facing upwards.*
- Additional inline filters are available if required.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Fault: Pump runs all the time.
1. Is the float positioned with the magnet uppermost?
2. Is the reservoir lid (sensor) located firmly onto the reservoir, with the float located inside the reservoir, around the sensor column?
3. Is there sludge inside the reservoir, preventing float from resting on the bottom? (This may occur if pump has been in operation for some time without cleaning. Clean using an anti-bacterial wash.)- Please note:
- After installation and during operation, if you notice air in the pipe between the reservoir and the pump, you have a siphoning problem (Fit an Anti Siphoning Device following step 9 on page 12.)
- The pump will only switch off when the float is at the bottom of the reservoir.
- Fault: Pump stops and starts and makes a loud noise.
1. The water is siphoning through the pump. Fit an Anti Siphoning Device following step 9 on page 12.- Fault: Pump runs but does not pump any water.
1. Are there any air-leaks in the pipe running to the pump?
2. Check that reservoir, filter and inlet tube are free of sludge and debris.- Fault: Pump isn’t operating at all.
1. Is power reaching the pump? Is it correctly wired? Is the voltage correct?
2. Is the pump very hot? A thermal cut-out may have been activated to protect pump. This will automatically reset once pump has cooled down.- Have you got another question?
