Frequently Asked Questions - BVP MAX DAB

Can the DAB BVP MAX pump be used with seawater?

No, the pump must not be used for salt water, sewage, flammable, corrosive, or explosive liquids. It is designed for dirty water with particles up to 2".

What is the maximum operating temperature of the fluid?

The fluid temperature must never exceed 95°F (35°C).

How does the automatic float switch work?

The float switch automatically starts and stops the pump based on water level. You can adjust the start/stop levels by changing the length of cable between the holder and the float. The minimum cable length is 12".

What should I do if the pump does not start?

First, ensure the pump is powered and the plug is properly inserted. Then check if the float switch can move freely; if not, increase the depth of the trap or adjust the float cable length.

Can the pump run dry?

No, the pump must never be allowed to run dry. If water runs out, stop the pump immediately by unplugging it. Running dry can cause damage.

What is the thermal overload protection?

The pump has a built-in thermal overload switch that automatically turns off the motor if it overheats. After cooling for 15-20 minutes, the pump will restart automatically. Always identify and fix the cause of overheating (e.g., clogged intake, high fluid temperature).

How do I clean or unclog the pump?

Always disconnect the pump from power before any maintenance. Remove obstructions from the suction grid, impeller, or delivery pipe. If the impeller is worn or stuck, replace or free it.

What is the maximum head of the BVP MAX pump?

The maximum head is 39 ft (11.9 m). The pump's flow rate decreases as head increases.

Can the pump be used with an extension cord?

Yes, but extension cords must comply with DIN VDE Standard 0620 requirements and be appropriately rated for the pump's power consumption. Ensure connections are dry and protected from flooding.

What does the warranty cover?

The warranty covers material or manufacturing defects according to local law. It does not cover parts liable to rapid wear, nor damage from unauthorized repairs, modifications, or misuse. Keep your purchase receipt.

SAFETY MEASURES

Before starting the pump, read this instruction booklet carefully and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

For safety reasons, the pump must not be used by anyone who has not read these instructions. The pump must not be used by anyone under 16 years of age or by anyone who has not read and understood the present instruction booklet. Keep children well away from the pump when in operation..

The power cord or floating switch must never be used to carry or move the pump. Always use the pump's handle.

When handling the pump, while it is connected to the electric power supply, you should avoid all contact with water.

Never remove the plug by pulling on the power cord.

Before taking any action on the pump, always remove the plug from the power socket.

There should be no individuals present in the liquid that is being pumped while the pump is in use.

If the power supply cord has been damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his authorized customer support service in order to avoid all risks.

The pump is equipped with a thermal overload safety device. In the event of any overheating of the motor, this device automatically switches off the pump. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the pump automatically comes on again. If the overload cutout is tripped, it is essential to identify and deal with the cause of the overheating. See Troubleshooting.

2.

USE

Powerful submersible pumps for draining and emptying, and for small-scale irrigation needs; they can be used with dirty water containing particles in suspension up to a maximum dimension of 2'.

The temperature of the fluid being pumped must never exceed 95^ F

The pump must not be used to pump salt water, sewage, flammable, corrosive or explosive liquids (e.g. petroleum oil, petrol, and thinners), grease, oils or foodstuffs.

Comply with the rules and regulations of the local water authority when using the pump for the supply of domestic water.

3.

STARTING THE PUMP

Given the different provisions applicable to the safety of electric systems in different countries, make sure that the pump system, as concerns its intended use, is in accordance with current legislation.

Before starting the pump, make sure that:

- The voltage and frequency specified on the pump's nameplate coincide with those of the available power supply;

• there are no signs of damage to the pump or its power cord;
• The electric connection is made in a dry place, protected against any risk of flooding;
- The electric system is complete with a residual current circuit-breaker GFI Ground fault Indicator (30 mA) and an efficient earthing connection;
• Any extension cords must comply with requirements of the DIN VDE Standard 0620.

Automatic operation:

The floating switch starts and stops the pump automatically. The water level that prompts the starting and stopping of the pump can be adjusted by changing the length of cable between the holder and the float.

NB The length of cable for the float must never be shorter than 12 .

Manual operation:

a) The floating switch must be lifted in order to start pumps with a float.
b) For pumps without a float, insert the plug.

4. RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure the proper operation of the pump, it is important to comply with the following recommendations:

The pump must never be allowed to run dry.

Never leave the pump in operation when the delivery pipe is clogged.

The pump must be positioned so that the holes on the suction side cannot be partially or totally clogged by dirt.

• The pump must only be used when it is immersed in water. If the water runs out, the pump must be stopped immediately by removing the plug from the power supply.
• Pay careful attention when the pump is operated in manual mode.
• The pump must be placed in a stable position inside a trap or in the lowest part of the place where it is installed.
• The float must be able to move freely while the pump is in operation, so the recommended dimensions for the trap are 1^1/2 × 1^1/2 .
• It is absolutely essential to prevent any risk of the pump freezing. In the event of freezing temperatures, remove the pump from the liquid, empty it and keep it in a place where it cannot freeze.
