Periodic Maintenance

In order for the deep well pump to func-
tion perfectly at any time periodic main-
tenance is required. This also applies if
the deep well pump is operated under
heavy conditions, but not turned on over
prolonged periods.
Let the pump run periodically to

keep solids from getting stuck inside
the pump.
Leave pump in the water if possible,

to keep residual matter from drying
inside the pump.
Yearly maintenance
1. Check pump casing and cable for
damage.
2. Rinse pump with clear water.
Remove persistant soiling, e.g.
algae desposits, with brush and
dishwashing liquid.
3. To flush the inside of the pump,
place it into a container filled with
clear water and turn ON briefly.
Cleaning the suction inlets
1. At the bottom of the lower part, in
the centre opening, is a locking for
removing the end piece.
Unscrew the three securing screws
from the locking.
2. Push all three plastic locking bars of
the locking from inside to the outside
and pull the end piece out.
3. Clean end piece with clear water
and fit it back into the pump. The
plastic locking bars must engage
with an audible click.
Cleaning the impellers
1. Loosen the screws on the upper part
of the deep weel pump and remove
the top.

Note:
If necessary you can remove the
power cable. To do so, loosen the two
screws of the cable clamp and pull off
the cable plug.
2. Completely unscrew the lower part.
3. Unscrew the hexagon nut on the
impeller shaft and pull the impellers
off.
4. Clean impellers and all accessible
inside surfaces of the casing.
Remove any fibres which may have
wound around the impeller shaft.
Remove persistant soiling with
brush and dishwashing liquid.
A
Caution!
When reassembling the pump
make sure the O-rings on both upper
and lower part are undamaged and
properly positioned.
5. Re-assemble the deep well pump.
