Product Information

Full details

The Clarke CSV4A submersible pump is designed for efficient water removal in various wet conditions, ideal for homeowners and professionals dealing with flooding, construction sites, or drainage needs. Its key benefit is the high flow rate and automatic operation via a float switch, minimizing manual intervention.

FAQs

What type of water can this pump handle?

The Clarke CSV4A is designed for clean to dirty water applications, capable of handling particles up to 40mm in diameter.

How does the automatic float switch work?

The float switch is attached to the pump and moves with the water level. When the water level rises, the float lifts, starting the pump. As the water level drops, the float lowers, automatically shutting the pump off to prevent it from running dry.

What is the maximum depth I can submerge the pump?

The pump can be submerged to a maximum depth of 7 meters.

What connections does the pump outlet support?

The pump has a 2” BSP outlet and comes with adaptors to connect to 2" hose, 1½" BSP, 1¼” hose, 1” hose, and 1” BSP.

How long is the power cable?

The pump is supplied with a generous 10-meter power cable.

Can this pump be used for continuous operation?

While designed for automatic operation, continuous submersion and operation should be monitored. Ensure the pump is not running dry, as this can cause damage. Periodic checks are recommended.

What is the maximum height the pump can push water?

The maximum head for this pump is 11 meters.

Troubleshooting

Pump not starting

Check that the power cable is securely connected to a working electrical outlet. Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the upper position; it needs to drop with the water level to activate. Verify that the water level is sufficient to operate the pump.

Low water flow rate

Inspect the intake screen and impeller for blockages from debris. Ensure the outlet hose is not kinked or obstructed. Check that the head height does not exceed the pump's maximum capability (11 meters).

Pump stops unexpectedly

The float switch may have risen above the motor housing, indicating the water level is too low. If the water level is adequate, the thermal overload protector may have engaged due to overheating; allow the pump to cool down before restarting. Check for blockages causing the motor to strain.

Pump vibrates excessively

Ensure the pump is placed on a firm, stable surface and is not resting on loose debris. Check that the impeller is clear of obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface in the water to be pumped.

  3. Submerge the pump. Ensure the float switch has enough vertical clearance to operate freely.
  4. Connect the 10-meter power cable to a suitable, grounded electrical outlet.

Compatibility:

Care:
