SUCTION LIFTSuction lift installations are notoriously troublesome, and almost invariably it is not the pump that causes the problem, we recommendusing a submersible pump system if at all possible.WARNING! Multistage pumps are not recommended to be used in suction lift applications. Contact REEFE Pumps technicians on 1800807 604 if you have any questions in relation to suction lift installation.17. OVERLOAD PROTECTIONThis pump has a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if a high-temperature condition occurs. The motor restartsautomatically after it has cooled down when the built in thermal protector resets itself. Or you may need to turn the power off and onagain to reset it. If this problem reoccurs - check as per 1518. IMPORTANT NOTES(a) Do not switch the pump on and off frequently, as this will cause damage to the electronics and void warranty. (b) Do not attemptto adjust the flow via the intake pipework (c) If there is insufficient water, the motor will stop. See 15 (f) and also 19. (d) If the pump isidle for a long period of time or in very low temperature, the water should be drained to avoid damage to the pump and/or stagnationof water.DANGER!Keep the pump equipment protected from interference by pets, wildlife, children, infirm persons or incompetent persons.WARNING!This pump is designed for clean fresh water only, in non-hazardous locations. It must NOT be used as a continuous duty fountain pump,or dirty water, or liquids other than water. Install in well ventilated and well drained area.19. PUMP CONTROLLER FUNCTION AND OPERATION:The Pump Controller (sometimes referred to as the Pressure Controller) fitted to this pump is designed to be almost completelyautomatic, and will restart itself if the pump runs out of water; you should not normally need to do anything. Instructions and basicfunction;a) Use for CLEAN rainwater only – you must fit a prefilter or Y-Strainer to the intake (suction pipe) of the pumpb) Do not use a low quality generator for power supply - see section 12 - as this may damage the electronicsc) Protect from direct sunlight to avoid UV damage to the plasticd) The pump controller will stop the pump if there is no water in the pumpe) It then immediately rechecks for water (Starts pump) for a 15 second trial. Then rechecks again at the 3 minute mark, 1 hour mark, 5hour mark and then every 24 hours after until the pump reprimes.f) When the pump is connected to a rain water tank, once the tank refills with water, the pump automatically reprimes and starts tosupply.g) If it happens to do this in the middle of the night it can be annoying! In the morning, turn it off & on again after 30 seconds and itwill reset itself so it does the checking in daylight hours.h) Leak detection function: if the pump starts and stops 7 times or more in about 2 minutes, the pump may turn off automatically. Ifthis occurs, investigate what is leaking.i) You can reset the function back to the beginning anytime by pressing the restart button.j) If it is many days before it rains again (or you have your tank re-filled), turn off the power to the pump, at the power outletk) Occasionally when the pump re-starts after a run-dry event, some air might come through the lines, this will do no harm.l) NOTE: if pipe from tank to pump is not straight it will most likely get air-locks in the pipe, and the pump might not shut downproperly when the tank is low, as it is getting some air, some water - this is not a fault – simply turn the pump off until the tank fills tohave 500mm depth or more.
