Self-priming means the pump can evacuate air from the suction line and draw fluid without manual priming after the initial fill, so it will start pumping even if the suction line is partially filled with air. Follow the manufacturer's startup instructions for first-time use.
The spec sheet lists the flow rate as '20m²/h', which appears to be a unit typo. Flow rate is normally given in m³/h (cubic meters per hour) or L/h. Please confirm with the supplier; if it is 20 m³/h, that equals 20,000 L/h.
Maximum vertical conveying distance (total head) is 38 m and maximum horizontal conveying distance is 33 m as specified. Real-world performance may vary with hose size, fittings and suction conditions.
The product title calls it an electric pump with a rated power of 1500 W, while the attribute list shows 'Power Type: Diesel' and operating voltage 220V/380V. This inconsistency should be clarified with the manufacturer or supplier; there may be separate electric and diesel variants or a specification error.
The specs list operating voltages of 220 V and 380 V at 50 Hz. That indicates the pump may be available for single-phase 220 V or three-phase 380 V supply. Confirm which model/voltage you are purchasing and ensure correct phase and protection (fuses, breakers, grounding) are installed.
The caliber is listed as 38 mm, which is approximately 1.5 inches. Use hoses and fittings rated for 38 mm (1-1/2") or compatible adapters. Ensure hose pressure ratings and connectors match the application.
The pump is intended for water and similar low-viscosity, non-corrosive liquids commonly found in construction, irrigation and tank transfer. Do not use it with highly abrasive, corrosive, flammable or slurry-type fluids unless the manufacturer confirms materials compatibility and suitability.
The pump weighs 27 kg, making it relatively lightweight and transportable. It is described as a 'pumping tanker' pump and should be suitable for mounting on tankers or skid frames, but verify mounting points and secure installation details with the supplier.
Rated power is listed as 1500 W and the motor speed is 2900 rpm. Match motor protection (overload, starters) to these ratings and follow electrical code requirements.
For self-priming pumps: install suction and discharge hoses correctly and check all connections for leaks, open discharge valve slightly, ensure pump casing has initial fluid if required by the manufacturer, then start the motor. If priming fails, check suction hose for air leaks, verify foot valve or strainer, and ensure suction lift is within recommended limits. Refer to the user manual for model-specific startup steps.
Routine checks include inspecting hoses and fittings for leaks, cleaning inlet strainers, checking seals and gaskets, verifying motor mounts and fasteners, and monitoring motor temperature and current draw. Grease or service bearings and mechanical seals per the manufacturer's schedule. Frequency depends on usage; ask the supplier for a recommended maintenance interval and parts list.
Common checks: verify suction hose has no air leaks or kinks, confirm foot valve/strainer is not clogged, ensure suction lift is within spec, check that discharge valve is open, inspect impeller for wear or blockage, and ensure motor is reaching rated speed. If problems persist, contact technical support.
Yes. The pump is marketed for construction water removal, emergency flood relief and tank filling/emptying due to its high flow and self-priming capability. Ensure the pump's head and flow ratings meet the site requirements and that intake strainers are used to prevent debris clogging.
Warranty, spare parts availability and technical support vary by manufacturer and vendor. Ask your supplier for the warranty terms, recommended spare parts list (seals, bearings, impeller, gaskets) and contact details for after-sales service before purchase.
