FAQs
Can this pump be used for drinking water?
Yes, as long as the water source is clear and suitable for potable use, and the pump is installed according to plumbing regulations for domestic water systems.
Is this pump suitable for boosting pressure directly from the mains?
No, this pump is not designed for direct connection to the water mains or as the main inlet to a property. It is intended to boost pressure within an existing system where mains pressure is low.
What is the warranty period for this pump?
The pump comes with a Draper 12 months parts and labour warranty.
How often should I clean the pump?
It's advisable to check the pump's intake for debris periodically, especially if you notice performance issues. A general clean with a damp cloth can be done as needed to keep the exterior clean.
Can this pump handle hot water?
This pump is engineered for clear water. It is not specified for hot water applications and should only be used with cold or ambient temperature clear water.
What should I do if the pressure gauge is not working?
If the pressure gauge appears faulty or is not providing a reading, check for any blockages affecting its connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support or a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not start
Check the power supply connection and ensure the circuit breaker is engaged. Verify that the pump is not overheating, which could trigger a thermal overload switch.
Low or no water pressure after installation
Ensure the pump has been correctly primed with water. Check for any air leaks in the suction line or blockages in the intake filter. Verify that the system's water demand does not exceed the pump's capacity.
Pump cycles on and off rapidly (short cycling)
This can indicate a leak in the system or an issue with the pressure switch settings. Check all connections for leaks and ensure the pressure switch is functioning correctly.
Noisy operation
Air in the pump can cause noise. Ensure the pump is fully primed and there are no air leaks. Check for any foreign objects that might be obstructing the impeller.
