WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED SERVICE LIFE OF THE PUMP?
Under normal service conditions, we feel that the unit is designed for a 7-10 year service life. But during this period, the pump may require periodic servicing. • DO I NEED A CHECK VALVE? In a sewage system a check valve is required to prevent the sewage from draining back to the basin. They are usually recommended for all other submersible pump systems, but not required. • MY AUTOMATIC PUMP STOPS AND STARTS CONSTANTLY, HOW CAN I MAKE THE PUMP RUN LONGER? A pump short cycling is a function of the basin diameter and the “on/off” pumping range. Since the basin is in the ground it is unlikely that it can be enlarged. If you have an automatic unit which has a self contained float switch the “on/off” pumping range cannot be adjusted. But with a nonautomatic unit controlled with a pump switch you can have flexibility in the pumping range adjustment. Short-cycling can decrease the service life of a switch assembly. If this occurs, an automatic unit can be converted to operate with an externa
