Installing And Operating Instructions
The TotalFlo range of Submersible Sump Pumps are suitable for pumping small soft solids (up to 18mm Max.) in fluid suspension.
They are extremely quiet in operation which makes them ideal for applications within residential areas for sullage pits, waterfalls and general drainage.
Suitable Fluids: This pump is designed to pump waste water, clean water and water containing mild pollutants at ambient temperatures. It is not suitable for pumping flammable or corrosive fluids, nor fluids at elevated temperatures (Max. 40°C). If you are unsure as to the suitability of the fluids, contact your TotalFlo dealer for advice.
Installation Guide
This TotalFlo pump is completely submersible up to 5 metres and should be placed on a solid flat surface (if not available, sit the pump on timber or house bricks) in the vertical position. Pump should always be installed so that it will be clear of settled silt or debris. It is recommended to fit the biggest diameter hose possible, to obtain the best flow from the pump. To remove or lift the pump from deep wells or pits connect a rope to the handle during installation.
Automatic versions should be placed in a sump which has adequate dimensions so as not to restrict the movement of the float switch. Automatic controlled pump units have float switches factory set to provide the correct high (ON) and low (OFF) liquid levels
Motor Cooling
All models rely upon water flow around the motor shell for correct motor cooling.
All models are suitable for partially submerged operation only for short periods up to 10 minutes.
Where the pump is required to operate for longer than 10 minutes partially submerged, or where water flow over the
motor may not be assured, it is advisable to direct a low flow (2-3lpm) cooling jet of water over the motor shell (eg. when installed in large tanks or ponds).
Power Connection
A power connection point should be provided by a qualified electrician, in compliance with the requirements of AS 3000. Single phase models are rated for 220/240 Volts, 50Hz operation, and may be connected to a standard 10 amp power outlet.
All single phase models have automatic reset thermal overload protection built in, ie. should overload on motor cause
thermal to open circuit and switch motor off, it will automatically reset and switch the motor on when the motor has cooled down sufficiently, usually within a few minutes.
NOTE:
If the cord is damaged, the appliance should be repaired by a qualified Davey Water Products Pty Ltd’s Service Centre. The supply cord must only be replaced by a suitably qualified person with a genuine TotalFlo replacement supply cord.
1. Long extension leads should be avoided as they often have insufficient current carrying capacity to run electric motors, hence they can cause substantial voltage drop and operating problems.
2. Minimum voltage at the electric motor must not fall below 216 Volts for single phase, otherwise motor damage may result which is not claimable under guarantee.
3. If the electrical fittings in your country make it necessary to remove the plug (where fitted) from the lead fitted to the motor, care should be taken to ensure that the earth conductor green / yellow in the lead is properly connected to a good earth. This work should be undertaken by a suitably qualified person.
4. Expansion and contraction inside the motor due to heating and cooling is vented via the lead. The lead end must never be sealed off, but must always be open to the atmosphere.
5. ALWAYS disconnect pump from power supply prior to commencing ANY maintenance or adjustment.
Fault Check
Pump will not start:
Manual Type
- Check to ensure power is available and the outlet is switched ON.
- Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (replace/reset or call an electrician).
- If an extension lead is fitted, check connection.
- Impeller jammed – disconnect from power supply, and ensure impeller is free to rotate.
Thermal cut-out switch has not reset (wait 5 minutes).
If pump does not start from new then the seal has possibly stuck due to the length of time it has been standing since it was manufactured. In this case, disconnect from power supply, remove bottom strainer and turn the impeller nut clockwise, this will release the initial friction on the seal and once the power is connected will allow the pump to work.
Auto Type (with float switch)
- Check all in (1) above.
- Float switch jammed against sump side wall.
- Insufficient liquid to place the float switch in the ON position, i.e. higher than the horizontal.
Pump runs, but does not pump water or pumps insufficient water:
- Insufficient liquid in sump.
- Strainer, impeller and/or discharge pipework blocked.
- Impeller damaged.
- Air lock in discharge pipework. Ensure pump is filled with water.
- Excessive back pressure or lift.
Pump will not stop:
Manual Type
- Must be switched off at the power supply.
Auto Type (with float switch)
- Float switch is prevented from moving to the fully down position.
- Float switch may be faulty.
Pump runs for short periods only (the overload protection has tripped):
- Some foreign body is clogging the impeller.
- The liquid temperature is too high.
- Pump operating in non submerged position or with no water movement around motor.
- Electrical fault.
Do not run the pump dry as this will damage the seal and reduce the life of the pump.
Where hair, lint or other string-like material may be in the water, the pump should be regularly checked. It might become necessary sometimes to clean the suction strainer, impeller and/or discharge pipework.
With simple cleaning and regular examination this pump should give reliable service. In the event of seal failure, pollution of the pumped liquid could occur due to leakage of the seal lubricant.
