FAQs
Is this pump compatible with any 5-litre container?
No, this dispensing pump is specifically designed to fit Ecover 5 Litre drums. It may not be compatible with containers from other brands or of different sizes.
How do I prime the pump for the first use?
After attaching the pump to the drum, press down on the pump handle repeatedly until you feel resistance and the product begins to dispense. This may take several pumps.
How much product does one pump dispense?
The exact volume per pump may vary slightly depending on the product's viscosity and the pump's condition. However, it is designed to provide a consistent and controlled measure suitable for typical cleaning tasks.
Can I use this pump with other Ecover products in 5-litre containers?
While it is designed for Ecover 5L drums, compatibility with specific product formulations can vary. It is generally recommended for Ecover cleaning solutions typically found in 5L drums.
How should I clean the dispensing pump?
Wipe the nozzle and exterior with a damp cloth after each use. For internal cleaning, you can pump clean water through it, but ensure it is thoroughly dried or primed with the product again before storage to prevent contamination or residue buildup.
What should I do if the pump stops working?
Check the troubleshooting section for common issues. Ensure it's properly attached and primed. If the problem persists, verify compatibility and consider if the pump may have reached the end of its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Pump not dispensing product
Ensure the pump is securely attached to the Ecover 5L drum. Check that the intake tube is submerged in the product. Prime the pump by pressing the handle down firmly several times until you feel resistance and product is drawn up.
Slow dispensing rate
The product may be viscous. Ensure the pump is fully primed. If the product has thickened, a gentle rinse of the internal mechanism with warm water (followed by thorough priming with the product) might help, but avoid mixing water with the concentrate.
Pump difficult to attach
Verify that you are using an official Ecover 5 Litre drum. Ensure the threads on both the drum opening and the pump are clean and undamaged. Apply gentle, even pressure while screwing the pump on.
