FAQs
What is the maximum solid size the FEKA 600 M-A can handle?

It uses a float switch. The pump turns on when the water level reaches 36.5 cm and turns off when it drops to 17.5 cm.
Can I use this pump for clean water?
While it can pump clean water, it is specifically designed for dirty water applications and handling solids.
What is the minimum water level it can pump down to?
In manual mode, by securing the float switch, it can pump water down to a level of 5 cm.
Is this pump suitable for permanent installation?
Yes, its automatic operation with the float switch makes it suitable for permanent setups, such as in sump pits.
What is the weight of the pump?
The pump weighs approximately 18.74 pounds.
What should I do if the pump is submerged in debris?
Disconnect the power, carefully remove the pump, and clean the intake screen and impeller thoroughly. Ensure it's placed on a stable, debris-free surface for operation.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not turn on
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Verify the water level is above the 36.5 cm activation point for automatic mode. Ensure the float switch is not obstructed.
Pump runs continuously and does not turn off
Ensure the float switch is not caught or obstructed in the 'on' position. Check that the water level has dropped sufficiently for the switch to activate 'off' (17.5 cm).
Low flow rate or pump not moving water effectively
Inspect the pump intake and discharge hose for blockages from debris. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the water source is adequate.
Pump makes unusual noise
Check for debris lodged in the impeller or intake. Ensure the pump is sitting on a stable surface and not vibrating excessively against other objects.
