Maintenance
Before you carry out checking or cleaning tasks on the pump you must switch it off by
taking the plug from the socket.
Your submersible pump is more or less maintenance-free. The only tasks you must carry
out are as follows:
• Carry out a regular visual inspection. Make sure the pump is not damaged. Check the
electrical cable, the plug, the float switch and the float cable for damage too. If you
discover damage, you must take the device
to your supplier or an accredited
professional. Never attempt to carry out
repairs yourself and never open the pump!
• Regularly check that the float switch is
working effectively, particularly if you have
set the pump to work automatically (every 3
months). Regularly remove residues from the
float with clean water. Turn the pump
upside-down, open the side-panel with a pin
or similar and remove (see diagram). Take
the pin and float out and clean the float and
the magnet. Prevent damage or incorrect
assembly and do not remove the float from
the pin!
• Regularly check whether any dirt (fibres,
residues) has accumulated around the blade.
Remove it if this is the case by cleaning the
pump with clean water. If you cannot do so,
take the pump to your supplier or to an accredited professional to open the device and
remove the residue.
• If you regularly use the pump at different locations, you must rinse with clean water
(inside and out) after each use.
• Keep the base of the well (or the tile on which the pump is positioned) free from mud
and residue.
• Ensure that the pump does not freeze. Before winter sets in, run the pump dry and
store it in a frost-free location.
