Great video, this helped me out, cheers from Victoria
Glad to be of service! Must be gettin' cool down there. ;)
Great job with the video. You kept it detailed yet simple. Really appreciate the time it took to post.
Agreed. Helpful
I have a DAB pump that was affected by the latest flooding. I had moved it up higher a few years ago due to it being flooded from being in a bit of a depression. . The recent flooding was so bad a river of water had formed in a new area and the water and debris had cascaded into the fan causing it to stop intermittently . This being my second issue with the pump not being correctly isolated from potential problems I would encourage anyone with a pump that is supplying your house water to make sure it can ,almost, never be affected . I appreciate you taking the time to explain what the parts of the pump are. It makes me confident to give it a good clean out. Cheers Mate. 🤠
I have an el cheapo Giantz pump which stopped working. Although somewaht different to the Davey, the video (with a bit of side advice from Bob) led to fixing the problem. Many thanks
Awesome vid that explained exactly what I need to do to repair ours. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, love your work. Cheers
That was really good. Simple and clear instructions. Thankyou very much. I feel more confident in trying to fix mine. Or at least see what’s wrong with it.
Thanks! Glad you got something from it. 👍🤠
Great video mate. Thanks heaps,was able to change it easily and that’s what was the problem.
So glad to help. 👍
Bought a new X201, wanted to replace the short lead with a 10m lead, but for the life of me couldn't workout how the end plastic cover came off. Just one screw and it wouldn't bug, even tried lightly tapping it with a block of wood and hammer.
Cheers on the video @ 11:16 you came through to show me how, cheers again.
Awesome video. I thought I had an issue with my rainbank (it was lighting up green but still using mains water) but after watching this and taking a closer look at the pump I realised the pump itself wasn't actually starting. $12.54 and one capacitor later its working again. Of note, mine was actually a 12uF capacitor. Jaycar stock the 20uF but only have the 12uF in a different (box rather than cylinder) form factor, but I was able to get one from Haymans electrical without any issues. Interestingly I found at least one pool shop online selling the same 20uF capacitor for $55.
Be wary that often the different capacitors serve a slightly different function. Some are a start cap, and some are run caps.
Thanks for the comment! Glad I could help and that you got back up and running. 👍👍
Good job
thank you
thanks heaps mate
Perfect❤ pump
Hi, Thanks, great vid covering start cap testing. Any recommendations on pressure switch suppliers for these pumps? I have a Davey with a failing 104d PS, the Davey price for them is well north of $100...
Hi, I have an XP700 at home and am looking for the right sized generator to run it in case of power outages. I understand the generator has to be big enough to start the pump. Greatly appreciate your advice. Thanks.
I gave you that Apple TV. I'm famous :) Great Vid
Look at this guy. Thinks he knows me...! 👍😂😉
Hi, is the motor able to be rebuilt? I have a Davey XB200 and need to replace the motor bearings and can’t see how the motor comes apart, any help would be appreciated.
Hello does it matter the capacity wires go on? There are no markings on the terminals. I have just brought a new one which does not have any yellow covers on the terminals which is the same as the one you have replace with your old one. My old capicity one is the same as what you removed, it only has a blue and brown wire to connect to the capacity. Cheers
After buying a new pump pull it apart and re-assemble it with anti-seize on every fastener you lay your eyes on (Including the impeller thread or shaft and keyway). Without it you'll try to replace the mechanical seal 10 years down the track and you won't be able to get the impeller off. That's assuming you'll also be able to get the cover screws off to see the impeller.
Dear what is a black cylindrical part & what their function plz advise , Thanks in advance
What would cause the pump to pause while its on?
Could this be why my davey 500xp pump keeps tripping my house meter??
If I hold the yellow button in it wont trip but as soon as I let it go the house meter trips.
Very weel explained
I have same article but there is no pressure switch & its NRV ( Fitted inside) slightly leaking, what i do?
Tell me how much on deppth of bore it work good
Thanks for the video. After you changed the capacitor on yours, the humming sounds like mine at the moment. But it doesn't pump. What could be the problem?
If the motor is definitely turning, then the impeller may have come off the shaft. Just one thing to look for.
Hard to say, otherwise.
Hiya and thanks for the video. Any idea how to remove the impeller? Thanks
G'day! Most of them have a threaded brass inset that screws on to the shaft of the motor. RH thread from my experience, though I can't speak for all of them. :)
@@thehilltopworkshop Appreciate the reply mate. I'll give it a go. Looks fiddly and difficult to get a good grasp on it. Is there a worthy method to try?
Hey mate, i have the 350p, second hand. Someone (me) messed with the pressure switch screws. Just wondering if you know the stock turns to reset it to factory? :)
Man, I've got no idea! I mucked around with this one for hours with no real success - That's what made me buy a new pressure switch. 😅
I couldn't call myself a multimeter enthusiast if I didn't ask for a closer look at your meter. Also, I'm sure everyone would appreciate a purchase link to the those "chrome finished impact sockets" hahahaha!
Like you, I've got a handful of them, but this one is a Testo 760-2. Maybe I should do a video on the collection. There's a couple of interesting ones in there. 👍
@@thehilltopworkshop what setting do you have the multimeter on to test?
@@Jase013 On the capacitance setting. Not all multimeters have it, though.
@@thehilltopworkshop thanks. Off to buy a new multimeter. Any recommendations?
@@Jase013 So many options! The best that your budget will allow, that has all the functions you need.
Personally, I use a mixture of Fluke, Klein, Testo and Kyoritsu. If you're not making a living with it, a Klein for around $100aud would be more than enough. 👍 Just make sure it does the capacitance range you need.
Hi. I have a Davey Pump not unlike what you have. It does the hum and after a while the motor runs. I figure it would be a similar issue like what you highlighted. I replaced the capacitor with another ICAR 8uF (but plastic like what you showed). On replacing it, the motor just hums but will not turn over. I replaced the original and it turned over but over the course of a few days, it started doing the hum and may / may not decide to turn over behaviour again. Just wondering if I can replace it with a 10uF or 12uF capacitor ? I'm awaiting the delivery of a multimeter that can measure capacitance so I can work out if anything is wrong with the capcitor.
Hard to say without seeing it, but if it doesn't improve after replacing the cap with an exact unit asspecified, then there may be something else wrong with it.
Hi mate, I have a solar Davey pump. It has just started playing up. Each time I turn the Tao on,I need to go to the pump and pull the power switch on the top of the pump for a few seconds to get it to start up. There is no pressure leaks anywhere in the in or out pipework. Any ideas ? Maybe the one way valve inside the pump could be stuck open ?
Mate, I really wish I could help, but I've never worked on one of those.
I have this pump and it turns over and was working fine. But I think it needs to be reprimed. Do I just take the air pressure bottle off the top and pour water in?
You can do that, but it should prime itself fairly easily depending on your supply side. If you have a fair amount of head from the tank to the pump, it may cause issues.
When I removed the cover I smelt electric burning smell from the capacitor? Safe to say that's what I need to replace?
Most likely would be, but the internal windings may be worth checking as well. 👍
And why does the water is hot when turning on the water pump
My davies pump every few days doesnt want to run although the power light is on so it should be-running, unplug for a bit then plug it back in and it starts up again, I,m thinking it could be the capacitor but i dont know
That does sound like a symptom of it, but unless you're confident around mains voltage, you should get it checked by someone qualified. 👍
I need some help. How can I Contact you. ?
Hi mate, where did you get the replacement from? And what code do I look for?
I got this cap through Edington Agencies in Coorparoo. This particular pump required a 12 microfarad, 450vac capacitor, but yours may be different.
Hope this helps.
What's the model number of this pump ? I have one that looks identical but the capacitor is melted so I can't read the details
I have a davey watermate pump. It's old and just 4 days ago the pump doesn't stop, it keeps on running until I switch off the power.
How can I fix it. Need your help.🙏
That sounds like a faulty pressure switch.
Once it reaches the set pressure, it should cut the power, and not start again until it reaches the lower threshold.
Hi are you able to send me a link where you purchased the capacitor from?
Most major electrical wholesalers should be able to supply you with one. I got mine from Edington Agencies. ;)
@@thehilltopworkshop what kind of capacitor? Is there a specific size?
can you repair a Rainbank controller please.
Never had my hands on one, unfortunately. 👍
What is the yellow tank for, on the top
They can help to stop water hammer and can also help as a pressurised storage for pumps that have to cycle a lot.
What are the common problems with that type of pump?
Like I said in the video, it's normally the capacitor or pressure switch. 👍
English thank God
Australian english, even better.
