GENERAL SAFETY

• WARNING! Pump must be used in accordance with Health & Safety, government, local authority, and water authority rules and regulations.

• Familiarise yourself with application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the pump.

• WARNING! Disconnect the pump from the mains power before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.

• Maintain the pump in good condition (use an authorised service agent). Keep the pump clean.

• Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• Only use for pumping liquids under 35°C.

• If pump is used to pump water from a well, drain or deep receptacle, take adequate precautions to stop persons or animals from falling in.

• Use the built-in handle to lower or raise the pump. It may be necessary to attach a suitable rope or pulley to the handle.

• If the bottom of the water container is covered with sludge, sand, gravel or mud etc, suspend the pump or place it on a raised base to operate above the solid matter. Sand and such substances will reduce working life of pump, and invalidate your warranty.

• In flood situations, user is responsible for ensuring that appropriate back-up procedures, alarms etc are correctly installed in case of pump failure.

• In swimming pools, fish ponds, etc, ensure location is clear of people and animals, including removal of fish from pond.
  Note: this pump is not designed for continuous use in a fish pond or similar water feature or display.

• DO NOT operate the pump if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or possible personal injury.

• DO NOT use the pump for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.

• DO NOT use to pump chemicals, fuels or salt water.

• DO NOT insert hands into the mouth of the pump as this could lead to injury.

• DO NOT use to pump septic tanks or settling pits. DO NOT pump any liquids other than water.

• DO NOT operate the pump out of water. The pump pick up area must be completely submerged during operation.

• DO NOT exceed the maximum submersible depth – see specifications.

• DO NOT operate the pump during freezing temperatures. DO NOT leave the pump in water that may freeze.

• DO NOT use in swimming pools if people could come into contact with the water whilst pump is in use.

• DO NOT use for pumping sea water or inflammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.

• DO NOT carry the pump by its electrical cable, or outlet pipe. Use the handle only.

• When not in use switch off pump and remove plug from power supply. Rinse pump, drain out any water and store in a frost free, safe location.

• WARNING! DO NOT allow uncontrolled discharge of contaminated water which would pollute the environment.

NOTE: This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

INTRODUCTION

Manufactured from heavy duty corrosion resistant materials in either stainless steel or polypropylene. Suction pump suitable for drawing brackish water up to 8 metres.
Includes a removable filter for easier maintenance.

SPECIFICATION

• Model no: WPS250A
• Maximum Head: 8m
• Maximum Output/Min: 250L(54gal)/min
• Maximum Particle Size: 5mm
• Maximum Water Depth: 7m
• Minimum Water Depth: 30mm
• Motor Power: 600W
• Outlet OD: Ø38mm
• Supply: 230V

OPERATION

• WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions.
• Fit an appropriate discharge pipe to pump outlet and secure with a clip. Ensure the diameter of the discharge pipe is the same as, or greater than, the outlet diameter. A smaller pipe will adversely effect the pump flow rate.
• Position the pump in the water and place the outlet pipe securely in the discharge receptacle or area. We recommend the pump is submerged with its discharge outlet facing up to release any trapped air.
• Plug the pump into the electrical mains supply and switch on.
• The pump will automatically turn on as the level of water rises (fig.1.A). As water level lowers, the float will automatically switch the pump off as it reaches the minimum height (B). The float may be adjusted by shortening or lengthening the cable. The pump will switch on if the water level is up to or above the maximum length of the float cable. To function correctly the float must move freely.
• Ensure that the float can do so and that the cable is not restricted. Check that the pump and discharge are working correctly.
• The water into which the pump is placed will act as the motor cooling agent. For this reason the pump must remain submerged at all times. Should the pump have to be used in shallow water DO NOT operate for more than 10 minutes. Failure to follow this rule will damage the unit and will invalidate your warranty.
  NOTE: See fig.2 to determine minimum clearance required if using the pump in a restricted area e.g: a sump or well.

MAINTENANCE

• WARNING! With the exception listed below, all pump, float and electrical cable service, maintenance and repair must only be undertaken by an authorised service agent. Failure to observe this rule may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.
• WARNING! Ensure the pump is disconnected from the mains power supply before attempting any service or maintenance.
• Keep all parts of the pump clean. Rinse, drain and allow to dry before storing pump.
• Regularly check the water inlet on the base of the pump to ensure there are no blockages. To access the impeller carefully undo the four base hex headed screws and remove base. Clean the impeller and replace the base ensuring that the O ring is correctly located.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Water level below min suction depth.
2. Air bubbles in pump accumulated during submersion, or float is incorrectly positioned so pump does not stop at minimum level and sucks in air.

|

1. Stop the pump.
2. Release air by inclining the pump and re-immersing it in water.
3. Remove blockage, and clean the unit.

B. Reduced water volume for level of water.|

1. Discharge pipe bent, or pinched.
2. Discharge pipe too narrow.
3. Pump partially blocked.

|

1. Straighten pipe.
2. Use wider diameter pipe.
3. Clean pump

C. The pump will not start or suddenly stops during operation|
