How to Check Your Submersible Pump

1. How to Check Your Submersible Pump Here are the steps you need to follow to check your submersible pump: 1 Turn off the power supply of the pump. Disconnect the outer cover on the motor and lift off the cover. 2 Disconnect the internal waterproof cover protecting the submersible pump motor. Disconnect the screws from the cover and lift it off. 3 Find the two wired terminals on the submersible pump. One is labeled – for negative and + for positive. Carefully read the labels on the pump motor’s side to learn the voltage it uses. 4 Turn on your multimeter. Attach the pump to the power supply and turn on the pump. 5 Test the power getting to your pump using your meter. Insert the sensor on the end of the black wire on the terminal’s negative. Put the sensor on the red wire’s end into the pump motor’s positive terminal. 6 Read the meter’s reading. The power is not getting to the meter if it reads zero or above. Did you receive a reading that’s similar to the specific voltage on the pump? It means the power is getting into the motor. Learn more at www.pumpsupplies.co.uk
