    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. 🤠

    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.

    • @thehilltopworkshop
      @thehilltopworkshop  Год назад

      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. 👍👍

    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

  • @rickneill6924
    @rickneill6924 2 года назад

    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.

    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.

    • @thehilltopworkshop
      @thehilltopworkshop  3 месяца назад

      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 ?

    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?

    • @thehilltopworkshop
      @thehilltopworkshop  Год назад

      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.

    • @thehilltopworkshop

      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.
