Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a T-shaped wand handle?

The T-shaped wand handle is a type of suction wand, when inserted into the water bottle, activates the float switch on the pump. The wand also has an integrated back-flow valve to prevent water from flowing back into the bottle.

What are self-priming pumps?

These pumps work against gravity by compressing air to move and draw fluids. They do not need to be submerged in liquid or placed under the watertank, instead, they can be operated above the level of the fluids being drawn through the pump.

What is the purpose of a diaphragm?

Diaphragm pumps create a hermetic seal between the drive mechanism and the compression chamber, allowing the pump to transfer, compress and evacuate the medium without using a lubricant. They can be used with fluids, such as corrosive chemicals, volatile solvents, viscous fluids, abrasive slurry, smaller solids and creams, gels & oils.

How do I install a Flojet pump?

  • Remove shipping plugs from pump ports.
  • Connect fittings supplied with the pump. Use half-inch inside diameter, flexible hose (preferably braided or reinforced) to reduce vibration through the plumbing system.
  • Use hose clamps on the slip-on barb hose connectors.
  • Slide the rubber mounts into the four mounting tracks to extreme positions.
  • Mount the pump vertically, with the pump head down or horizontally, in an accessible location.
  • Install inlet and discharge port connectors.
  • Firmly push the slide clips forward to lock port connectors.
  • Install a strainer in an accessible location (for inspection and cleaning) between the tank and pump inlet.

How do I maintain and troubleshoot my Flojet pump?

  • Clean the pump and its filters regularly to prevent clogging and improve efficiency.
  • Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent leaks and other issues.
  • Regularly inspect the pump for worn or damaged parts and replace them as necessary.
  • Check the electrical connections and power supply if the pump does not turn on.
  • Check the filters, strainer and discharge line for clogs if the pump is not producing enough flow.
  • If the pump overheats, check for proper ventilation and ensure that the impeller is not clogged.

Can Flojet pumps be used in hazardous or explosive environments?

The brand offers ATEX-approved G70 air diaphragm pumps for use in hazardous / explosive environments.

How do I know if my Flojet pump is functioning correctly?

  • Ensure that the pump is receiving proper voltage and frequency.
  • Ensure it is securely attached and free of obstructions.
  • Check if the pump has enough liquid in the casing to prime.
  • Observe the flow rate at the outlet to ensure it meets the specifications.
  • Listen for unusual noises or vibrations that may indicate a malfunction.
