The Clarke 7230096 SWP900A Submersible Sewage Pump is engineered for efficient and reliable wastewater management in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. This robust pump is equipped with a powerful 900-watt motor that delivers a maximum flow rate of up to 18,000 liters per hour, ensuring effective handling of substantial volumes of sewage and wastewater. The pump is designed to operate at a maximum submersion depth of 7 meters, making it suitable for deep sewage pits or sumps. It features a durable cast iron construction that provides high corrosion resistance and longevity, even in harsh environments. The pump's impeller is made of toughened steel, capable of handling soft solids up to 38 millimeters in diameter, which prevents clogging and ensures smooth operation. The SWP900A is fitted with a float switch for automatic start and stop functionality, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing manual intervention. It is designed for easy installation with a 2-inch discharge outlet that is compatible with standard sewage pipes. The pump operates on a standard 230V power supply and includes an integrated thermal overload protection mechanism that prevents motor damage due to overheating. Its compact design allows for easy maneuverability and installation in confined spaces. The Clarke 7230096 SWP900A is an ideal solution for sewage and wastewater management, combining high performance, durability, and ease of use to meet demanding sewage pumping requirements.

Clarke 7230096 SWP900A Submersible Sewage Pump F.A.Q.

How do I install the Clarke 7230096 SWP900A Submersible Sewage Pump?

To install the pump, ensure it is placed on a stable surface within the sewage pit. Connect the discharge pipe, secure the electrical connections ensuring they are waterproof, and test the pump by filling the pit with water to see if it activates and discharges properly.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the SWP900A pump?

Check the pump every 3 months for debris around the inlet and impeller. Annually, inspect the seals and gaskets for wear and replace if necessary. Keep electrical connections free from corrosion.

What should I do if the pump is not starting?

First, check the power supply and ensure that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Inspect the float switch for obstructions. If these are in order, examine the electrical connections and test for continuity in the motor windings.

How do I clean the SWP900A pump?

Disconnect the pump from the power supply, then remove it from the pit. Use a hose to wash away any debris on the exterior. Open the casing to inspect and clean the impeller and inlet. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling and reinstalling.

What kind of waste can the SWP900A pump handle?

The pump is designed to handle raw sewage, effluent, and wastewater with suspended solids up to 50mm in diameter. Avoid non-biodegradable materials that may cause blockages.

Why is my pump making unusual noises?

Unusual noises could be due to debris lodged in the impeller or a damaged bearing. Inspect the pump for any visible obstructions and check for signs of wear or damage in the mechanical components.

How can I increase the lifespan of my SWP900A pump?

Regularly perform maintenance checks, keep the pump free of debris, and ensure it is not running dry. Additionally, install a backup system to prevent overuse during high inflow periods.

What should I do if the pump is running continuously?

Check the float switch to ensure it's not stuck in the 'on' position. Inspect and clean the pit to make sure there are no obstructions preventing the switch from operating normally.

Can I use the SWP900A pump in a saltwater environment?

The SWP900A is not designed for saltwater environments as salt can cause corrosion and reduce the pump's lifespan. Consider a pump specifically rated for marine or saltwater use.

How do I troubleshoot a low flow rate issue with my pump?

Inspect the discharge pipe for blockages and clean the pump's impeller to ensure it is free from debris. Verify that the pump is submerged properly and check the voltage supply to ensure it matches the pump's requirements.
