Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Clarke Bip1500 self-priming?

No, the Clarke Bip1500 is not self-priming. The inlet must be submerged below the water level before operation.

What type of water can this pump handle?

This pump is designed for clean water only. It should not be used with water containing solids, mud, sand, or abrasive materials.

What is the maximum height the pump can lift water?

The maximum head height for the Clarke Bip1500 is 50 meters.

What size is the outlet connection?

The pump features a 1" BSP outlet connection.

What are the electrical requirements?

The pump requires a 230v, 50Hz power supply.

Can this pump be used for boosting home water pressure?

While it can transfer water, its primary design is for transfer and flooding applications. For consistent domestic pressure boosting, a dedicated pressure pump might be more suitable, but it can be used if the head and flow requirements align.

How do I clean the pump?

After use, rinse the inlet and impeller area with clean water. Store in a dry, frost-free place. Ensure it's dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

Pump does not run

Check the power connection. Ensure the pump is plugged into a functioning 230v outlet. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Pump runs but moves no water

Confirm the inlet is fully submerged below the water level. Check for any blockages in the inlet or outlet hose. Ensure the discharge valve is open.

Reduced water flow

Inspect the inlet and outlet hoses for kinks or obstructions. Clean any debris from the pump's inlet screen or impeller area.

Pump cycles on and off erratically

This may indicate an air leak in the suction line or that the water level is too low. Ensure all connections are airtight and the inlet remains submerged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High performance with 800W motor.
  • Excellent head height of 50m for challenging installations.
  • Good flow rate of 45 L/min for quick water transfer.
  • Versatile for various domestic and commercial uses.
  • Robust build quality for longevity.

Cons

  • Not self-priming; requires submersion.
  • Primarily for clean water; not suitable for dirty or abrasive liquids.
  • Requires a stable 230v power supply.
  • Installation requires careful planning due to non-self-priming nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pump is placed in a stable location. Crucially, the inlet must be positioned below the surface of the water to be pumped.
  2. Connect a suitable hose to the 1" BSP outlet. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
  3. Connect the pump to a reliable 230v power source. Always use a GFCI protected outlet when operating electrical equipment near water.
  4. Submerge the inlet end of the pump (or ensure the suction hose inlet is below water level) to prime the pump.

Compatibility:

  • Water Type: Designed for clean water only. Avoid pumping water containing solids, mud, sand, or abrasive materials, as this can damage the pump.
  • Power Supply: Requires a standard 230v, 50Hz electrical supply.
  • Outlet Connection: Compatible with standard 1" BSP threaded fittings.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: After each use, especially if pumping water with any sediment, rinse the inlet and impeller area with clean water.
  • Storage: Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location when not in use. Ensure the pump is dry before storage.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the power cord and connections for any signs of damage.
