Frequently Asked Questions - PSDWV-500 Ozito

How do I adjust the float switch?

To adjust the float switch, change the cable length in the adjuster. There must be a minimum of 100mm of cable from the adjuster to the float. When the cable is fully extended, the pump will operate down to a water depth of 50mm and shut off automatically.

Can I use this pump for drinking water?

No, this pump is not suitable for drinking (potable) water. It is intended for pumping water in home domestic applications only.

What is the maximum particle size the pump can handle?

The pump can handle dirty water with non-solid particles up to 15mm in diameter. Do not use for liquids with larger particles.

How do I prime the pump?

When immersed and switched on, the pump will prime automatically within up to 20 seconds. Air can escape via the Air Bleed Valve. If needed, tilt the pump manually to help release air from the base.

What should I do if the pump does not start?

Check that the pump is connected to the mains power supply. Manually raise the float switch to see if it activates. If the impeller is stuck, turn off and inspect for obstructions. The thermal overload may be tripped; wait for the motor to cool down and it will restart automatically. If the motor is damaged, contact Ozito customer service.

How often should I clean the pump?

Clean the pump with clear water after each use. Keep the suction base free of debris at all times. Store in a dry, frost-free location.

Is the pump suitable for saltwater or corrosive liquids?

No, the pump must not be used for corrosive, abrasive, explosive or dangerous liquids. Only water should be pumped to avoid damage and fire hazard.

What type of power supply is required?

The pump requires a 230-240V AC, 50Hz power supply. It must be used with a residual current device (RCD) rated 30mA or less.

How can I operate the pump manually?

Hold the float switch in the vertical position to run the pump continuously regardless of water level. Warning: this mode must be supervised to prevent the pump running dry.

1. To stop operation, turn off the mains power. The pump will also stop operation automatically once the float switch reaches the minimum water depth.

WARNING! YOUR PUMP HAS THE CAPACITY TO PUMP DIRTY WATER WITH A NON SOLID PARTICLE SIZE OF UP TO 15MM IN DIAMETER.

Priming

When immersed and ON the pump will need to prime and purge the air inside the pump before water flows at the outlet. This can take up to 20 seconds. If operating the pump

manually tilting the pump to allow some air to escape from the base can help.

Air also escapes from the Air Bleed Valve. When pumping, the water pressure will shut this valve off.
