(electrics getting thru ?) Is there water in your tank ? Is the stop-tap open ? Did you remove any 'end plugs' when connecting the pipes ? 28USGPM = 28 US gallons flow per minute (A US gallon is smaller than the UK gallon due to barrel shrinkage) 28 USG = 23 Imperial (UK) gallons.

Tracy D'arth Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Is the pump running when switched on? If not it is not getting power. Fuse? Circuit breaker? wiring? Time to get the meter out and see if there is any volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Brummie Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 If you get it running, I hope you have a large water tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manufacturer quotes 10.6Lpm, but it gets a little wearing when you are criticised for correcting posts or providing unasked for information - just 'go with the flow' (see what I did there) and answer the question asked without suplementary information. I'm sure the OP misread 2.8USGPM as 28USGPM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan de Enfield Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 7 minutes ago, haza said: silly question were would i find the fuse thanks any way It could be an inline fuse close to the pump, just follow the wiring as far as you can. It could be a fuse or an MCB on your electrical panel / "fuse box" Do you have a list of switches marked up "pump". "bilge pump", "tunnel light" etc - they might be 'fused' switches, do they have red lights alongside the switches ? There are so many possibilities that photos of you panel would help.

Do you have a multimeter ? Is so, set it to the Ohm** scale, touch the two probes together and note the reading, now touch each end of the fuse (one probe on each end) and see it the reading is the same, if it is that means the fuse is OK (not blown). ** set the dial to the highest number (maybe 2000 ?) on the scale that show this symbol : Ω If you get a no reading or "OL" then the fuse is blown and needs replacing. If the fuse blows again you have a wiring problem, or have replaced the pump with one that requires thicker wiring / bigger fuse. DO NOT just replace the old fuse with a bigger one. Find the problem first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen-in-Wellies Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 A good first check would be to remove the fuse and push it back in again. Sometimes the contacts for the fuse can get corroded and interrupt supply. removing and refitting the fuse can clean the tarnish off. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
