Clarke 7120310 CPE15A3 Water Pump F.A.Q.

How do I prime the Clarke 7120310 CPE15A3 Water Pump before use?

To prime the Clarke 7120310 CPE15A3 Water Pump, ensure the pump is filled with water before starting. Remove the priming plug, fill the pump housing with water, and replace the plug securely. This prevents air from being trapped in the pump, allowing it to operate efficiently.

What should I do if the pump is not starting?

If the pump is not starting, check the power supply and ensure the pump is plugged in properly. Inspect the fuse and circuit breaker for any issues. If the pump still doesn't start, verify that the thermal protection has not been triggered and let the motor cool down before attempting to restart.

How often should I perform maintenance on the water pump?

Regular maintenance is recommended every 3 months. This includes checking for leaks, inspecting the suction and discharge lines, cleaning the inlet screen, and ensuring all connections are tight and secure.

What could cause the pump to lose suction?

Loss of suction can be caused by air leaks in the suction line, clogged inlet screens, or worn impeller parts. Inspect these components and replace or repair them as necessary to restore proper suction.

How can I prevent the pump from freezing during winter?

To prevent freezing, drain all water from the pump and store it in a dry, frost-free environment. Alternatively, insulate the pump and pipes or use a pump house heater to keep the temperature above freezing.

Why is the pump making unusual noises?

Unusual noises may indicate cavitation, air leaks, or mechanical issues. Check for blockages in the suction line, ensure there are no air leaks, and inspect the impeller and bearings for wear or damage.

How should I store the water pump when not in use for long periods?

When not in use for extended periods, drain all water from the pump and store it in a clean, dry location. Cover the pump to protect it from dust and debris, and periodically check for any signs of rust or corrosion.

What is the correct procedure for replacing the pump's impeller?

To replace the impeller, first, disconnect the pump from the power source. Remove the pump casing and old impeller. Install the new impeller, ensuring it is aligned properly, and reassemble the pump casing securely.

Can the Clarke 7120310 CPE15A3 Water Pump handle sand or debris in the water?

The pump is not designed to handle sand or large debris. Use a filter or strainer on the intake to prevent damage. Regularly inspect and clean the filter to maintain optimal performance.

How do I troubleshoot low water pressure from the pump?

Low water pressure can be due to clogged discharge lines, partially closed valves, or an incorrectly sized pump. Check for blockages, ensure valves are fully open, and verify that the pump is suitable for your system's requirements.
