Troubleshooting
Pump not starting
Check that the power cable is securely connected to a working 230V outlet. Ensure the float switch is not obstructed and is in the 'on' position relative to the water level.
Low water flow rate
Inspect the pump's inlet for blockages from debris. Check the outlet hose for kinks or obstructions. Ensure the water level is sufficient for the pump to operate effectively.
Pump cycles on and off frequently
This may indicate the float switch is set too high or the water level is fluctuating rapidly. Adjust the pump's position or ensure a stable water level. Also, check for any obstructions around the float switch.
Pump motor making unusual noise
Turn off the pump and disconnect from power. Check the impeller and inlet for any foreign objects or debris that may be causing the noise. Ensure the pump is submerged correctly.
