Full details

Its key benefit is providing a reliable flow of up to 40 litres per minute with a significant 35-meter head, powered by an efficient 383W motor on standard 230V mains. A key consideration is that it is not self-priming. The pump features a compact and lightweight design for easy portability and a 1" BSP outlet for secure hose connections.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this pump self-priming?

No, the Clarke BIP1000 is not self-priming. It requires the suction side to be filled with water before operation to start pumping.

What size hose can I use with this pump?

The pump features a 1" BSP outlet, so you should use a hose with a compatible 1" BSP fitting.

What is the maximum pumping height?

The pump has a maximum head of 35 metres, meaning it can lift water to this height.

How much water can the pump move per minute?

The maximum flow rate is 40 litres per minute.

Can this pump be used for dirty water?

This pump is designed for general duty water transfer. It is best used with clean or lightly soiled water. Excessive debris can clog the inlet and damage the pump.

What is the power consumption of the pump?

The pump is powered by a 383W motor and runs on a standard 230V mains supply.

How should I store the pump when not in use?

Store the pump in a clean, dry, and protected area. Ensure it is protected from freezing temperatures during winter months.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not start

Check that the pump is correctly plugged into a live 230V power outlet. Verify the power cord is not damaged. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Pump runs but does not move water

Confirm the pump is submerged or has been adequately primed. Check the suction hose and outlet hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure the inlet strainer is clear of debris.

Low water flow or pressure

Verify that the pump is not running dry. Check for obstructions in the inlet or outlet hoses. Ensure the water source has sufficient depth. Clean the pump's inlet strainer.

Pump cycles on and off rapidly

This often indicates a priming issue or an air leak in the suction line. Re-prime the pump and check all connections on the suction side for airtightness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficient 383W motor for good performance
  • High maximum head of 35 meters
  • Generous flow rate of 40 litres per minute
  • Compact and lightweight (5.2kg) for portability
  • Standard 230V power connection

Cons

  • Not self-priming, requires submersion or initial priming
  • Suitable for general duty, not heavy-duty industrial use
  • Specific hose adapter (1" BSP) required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the pump is placed in a stable position. Connect a suitable hose to the 1" BSP outlet. Crucially, this pump is not self-priming, meaning it must be submerged in water or the suction line must be filled with water before operation to expel air and begin pumping. Connect the pump to a standard 230V mains power supply using a suitable, outdoor-rated extension cord if necessary.

Compatibility: The pump is designed to work with standard 1" BSP fittings and hoses. Ensure any hoses used are rated for the pressure and flow the pump can generate.

Care: After each use, clean the pump's exterior with a damp cloth. Periodically check the inlet for any debris that might obstruct water flow. Store the pump in a dry, protected location when not in use, ideally preventing it from freezing during cold weather.
