Frequently Asked Questions - ProMax Pressure Well Automatic 3000/15 OASE

How to install the pump in a well?

Attach a double-knot fixing cable to the ring and lower the pump into the well. Fix the cable 1 m from the bottom. The suction strainer must be at least 150 mm below the water level. Do not carry the pump by the power cable.

What to do if the pump does not start?

Check the power supply: fuse and sockets. If the pump stops after a short time, it may have overheated. Let it cool down and clean the suction opening. Also check that the well is not dry.

How to clean the non-return valve?

Remove the discharge pipe and adapter. Remove the Seeger ring with suitable pliers, then the valve. Rinse it with clear water and reassemble in reverse order. Let clear water run through for a few minutes before reinstalling.

Can the pump be used with salt water?

No, the pump is not compatible with salt water. Use it only with clear water or rainwater.

What is the maximum pressure of the pump?

The maximum pressure is 6.0 bar. The pump stops automatically at this pressure and restarts when the pressure drops below 3.5 bar.

How to protect the pump from frost?

The pump is not frost-resistant. In case of frost, dismantle it, clean it thoroughly and store it dry and frost-free. Drain pipes and lines. Protect plugs from moisture.

Can I use the pump for drinking water?

No, the pump is not suitable for drinking water. Do not connect it to the drinking water supply.

How to bleed air from the discharge pipe?

If the pump is running but not delivering water or with reduced flow, there may be air in the pipe. Bleed the discharge pipe by positioning it correctly and checking that it is not bent.

What is the maximum immersion depth?

The maximum immersion depth is 20 m. Beyond that, the pump could be damaged.

Where to find spare parts?

Original Oase spare parts are available on the website www.oase-livingwater.com/piecesdetachees-di. Use only original parts to ensure proper operation.

Intended use

Only use the product described in this manual as follows:

• For pumping clear water or rain water.
• For irrigating and watering.
• For pumping the water out of water butts/rain barrels or cisterns.
• Use for private purposes only.
• Operate in accordance with instructions. (→ Technical data)

Possible incorrect use

The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Not suitable for salt water.
• Not suitable for drinking water.
• Do not use for long-term operation (e.g. continuous recirculation of the water in a pond).
• Do not use in conjunction with chemicals, foodstuff, easily flammable or explosive substances.
• Do not connect to the drinking water supply.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION Connecting the pressure hose

An optimum flow rate is achieved with a hose inside diameter of 25 mm (1").

How to proceed:

□ B

1. Remove the protection cap.
2. Connect the pressure hose and adapter to the connection on the pressure side.
3. Recommendation: Use a quick-release coupling.

Installing the pump in a bored well or shaft

□ C

• Attach the fixing rope with a double knot to the lugs and lower the pump into the bored well or shaft.
• Use the fixing rope to fix the pump at a height of at least 1 m above the bottom of the well or shaft.
• This prevents it from drawing in dirt particles.
• Ensure that the screen on the suction side is at least 150 mm below the surface of the water.
• Do not carry the pump by its power connection cable.
• From a well or shaft depth of 5 m, fix the power connection cable to the fixing rope at a distance of 5 m from the pump (strain relief).

Vertical installation of the pump with the stand

(Only ProMax Pressure Automatic 5500/5, 6000/8)

The pump can be vertically installed with the stand in a tank or well.

• Ensure that the screen on the suction side is at least 150 mm below the surface of the water.
• If the water contains sand and/or is soiled, install the pump in a raised position or use ProMax Floating Intake (57772).

How to proceed:

□D

1. Push the mounting feet onto the stand.
2. Undo the Allen screws until the opening of the stand is wide enough to fit onto the pump.
3. Push the pump into the stand.
4. Tighten the Allen screws until the pump is fixed in the stand.

Horizontal installation of the pump with the stand

(Only ProMax Pressure Automatic 5500/5, 6000/8)

The pump can be horizontally installed with the stand in a shallow tank or well.

• The pump has to be aligned exactly horizontally.
• Ensure that the water to be pumped does not contain any sand.

How to proceed:

□ E

1. Remove the Allen screws.
   – The stand consists of two sections.
2. Push two mounting feet onto each stand section.
3. Push three rubber pads each into the grooves of the opening of the stand sections.
4. Fit rubber pads to both stand sections.
5. Push both stand sections onto the pump.
6. The stand sections should be spaced as far apart as possible to ensure the stability of the pump.

OPERATION

The pump control system switches the pump on and off automatically.

• The pump control system (flow control) measures the flow and switches the pump off if the water flow stops.
• The pump switches off when there is insufficient water, protecting it from being damaged by running dry.
• The integrated non-return valve prevents water from flowing back into the pump from the pressure hose when it is switched off. The non-return valve also prevents damage to the pump resulting from water hammer.

Starting up the pump

WARNING

Dangerous electrical voltage!

Death or severe injury from electrocution.

• Only connect the pump to the power supply when there are no persons in or reaching into the water.

• Before stepping into or reaching into the water, switch off all units located in the water.

• Insert the power plug into the socket.
  – The pump is ready for operation.

• The pump switches on automatically when water is used and the pressure in the pressure line falls below 3.5 bar.
• The pump switches off automatically when no more water is used and the maximum pressure in the pressure line is reached.

NOTE

If the water is sandy (e.g. in a new fountain) and the unit is operated for a short time only, sand may accumulate in the pump, causing the non-return valve or running unit to jam.

- Allow the pump to run for approx. 1 hour without interruptions until the sandy water has been removed completely.

Taking the pump out of operation

- Disconnect the power plug.

REMEDY OF FAULTS

Malfunction	Cause	Remedy

	Impeller defective or worn	Contact OASE.The impeller may only be replaced by the OASE Service.
	The impeller is clogged with sand.	Clean the non-return valve. (→Cleaning the non-return valve)Position the pump horizontally and flush it with sand-free water until all the sand has been completely flushed out. If the pump still does not start up, contact OASE.- The impeller may only be replaced by the OASE Service.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

NOTE

Recommendation on regular cleaning:

• Clean the unit as required but at least twice per year.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they could attack the housing or impair the function of the unit.
• Recommended cleaning agent for removing stubborn limescale deposits:

- Pump cleaning agent PumpClean from OASE.

- Vinegar- and chlorine-free household cleaning agent.

- After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts in clean water.

Cleaning the non-return valve

Sand can block the non-return valve of the pump so that it cannot close properly. The non-return valve has to be cleaned.

Prerequisite:

- The pressure hose and adapter have been dismantled.
