5.1 חלקtage סעלעקציע

The RL-SWJ100 pump is dual voltage (115/230 Volts) and comes factory-set for 230 Volts. Ensure the pump's voltage setting matches your power source. To change the voltage, remove the cover from the motor terminal box and slide the voltage indicator switch to the desired setting (115V or 230V) using a flat screwdriver.

5.2 Pressure Tank Installation

If installing with a pressure tank, ensure the tank's pre-charge pressure is set correctly before installation. The pre-charge pressure should be 2 PSI below the pump's cut-in pressure setting (e.g., 28 PSI for a 30 PSI cut-in). Make all pipe connections according to local plumbing codes. Ensure the pipe size from the tank to the house is the same as the pipe size from the pump to the tank.

6. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

6.1 פּרימינג די פּאָמפּע

Before starting the pump for the first time or after it has been drained, it must be properly primed. This involves filling the pump casing and suction line with water to ensure it can create the necessary suction to draw water from the well. Refer to the detailed priming instructions in the full owner's manual for your specific setup.

6.2 ערשט אָנהייב-אַרויף

After priming and ensuring all connections are secure and leak-free, restore power to the pump. The pump should start and build pressure. Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure it reaches the desired cut-off pressure (e.g., 50 PSI for a 30/50 switch). The pump will automatically shut off once the cut-off pressure is reached.

7. וישאַלט

  • רעגולער דורכקוק: Periodically check all connections for leaks and ensure the pump is securely mounted.
  • Pressure Tank Check: Verify the pressure tank's air charge annually.
  • ווינטעריזאַטיאָן: In freezing climates, drain the pump and piping completely to prevent damage from ice expansion.
  • ריינקייַט: Keep the pump area clean and free from debris to ensure proper ventilation.

8. טראָובלעשאָאָטינג

This section provides general guidance for common issues. For detailed troubleshooting steps, consult the complete owner's manual.

פּראָסט ישוז:

  • Pump runs but no water: Check for proper priming, ensure the suction line is submerged, and inspect for air leaks in the suction line.
  • פּאָמפּע סייקאַלז אויך אָפט: This often indicates a problem with the pressure tank (low air charge, waterlogged) or a leak in the system.
  • פּאָמפּע טוט נישט אָנהייבן: Verify electrical connections, check the circuit breaker, and ensure the voltage switch is set correctly.
  • נידעריק דרוק: Check for clogs in the piping, inspect the impeller for damage, and verify the well's water level.
