Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A 750W Submersible Pump F.A.Q.

How do I install the Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A 750W Submersible Pump?

To install the Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A pump, first ensure the power is off. Connect the discharge hose to the pump outlet. Position the pump in the water source ensuring it's fully submerged. Secure the pump cable to prevent it from being pulled into the pump. Finally, connect to a suitable power source.

What should I do if my pump is not starting?

If the pump does not start, check the power supply and ensure the pump is correctly plugged in. Inspect the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Additionally, check the float switch for obstructions. If the issue persists, consult the manual or contact customer support.

How often should I perform maintenance on the Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A pump?

It is recommended to perform maintenance on the pump every 6 months. This includes cleaning the pump housing, inspecting the power cable for damage, and checking the impeller for debris or wear.

What is the maximum depth this pump can operate at?

The Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A 750W Submersible Pump can operate at a maximum depth of 7 meters. Ensure the pump is not used beyond this depth to maintain optimal performance and avoid damage.

Why is the pump not pumping water efficiently?

If the pump is not pumping efficiently, check for blockages in the intake or discharge hose. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and the impeller is not obstructed. Inspect for wear or damage to the pump components.

Can this pump handle dirty or debris-filled water?

The Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A is designed to handle water with some debris, but excessive dirt or large debris can cause blockages or damage. A strainer or pre-filter is recommended for heavily debris-laden water sources.

When not in use, clean the pump and remove any debris. Dry it thoroughly and store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the power cable is wrapped neatly and avoid kinks or tangles.

What should I do if the pump overheats?

If the pump overheats, turn it off immediately and allow it to cool. Check for blockages in the impeller or discharge hose. Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to prevent overheating.

How do I know if the float switch is working correctly?

To test the float switch, lift it manually while the pump is powered on. The pump should start when the float is lifted and stop when lowered. If it does not respond, inspect for damage or obstructions and replace if necessary.

What power supply is required for the Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A pump?

The Clarke 7230536 Hippo5A 750W Submersible Pump requires a standard 240V AC power supply. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and capable of supplying the necessary power to avoid electrical issues.
