How to Check the Performance of Your Grundfos Pump After Installation
Installing a new pump can be a big task, but it’s just the first step in ensuring it works correctly. If you’ve recently installed a Grundfos submersible pump, like the SQE series, it’s essential to test its performance to ensure it’s functioning as expected. Here’s a simple guide to help you check the performance of your Grundfos pump after installation. Steps to Test Pump Performance
Check the Installation: Before you begin testing, ensure that the pump has been installed correctly. The pump should be submerged below the water table and must not fall below the horizontal level relative to the motor. Misalignment or incorrect installation can affect pump performance. Power Supply: Ensure that power is supplied to the pump correctly. The Grundfos pumps require a single-phase power supply of 200-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Check for any loose connections or issues with the power source. Verify Liquid Levels: Confirm that the water level in the borehole is adequate for the pump to operate. The pump should not run dry, as this can cause damage.

Monitor the Control Unit: If your pump is connected to a CU 300 or CU 301 control unit, ensure it’s functioning correctly. Look for any alarm indications, which may include overvoltage, undervoltage, dry running, or motor overload. The CU 300 and CU 301 provide insights into the system’s pressure and any operational issues. Check Flow Rate and Pressure: Using a pressure gauge, check the output pressure of the pump. You should have access to the recommended pressure values based on your specific installation. Compare your reading with the product specifications available in the Grundfos product data booklet. Listen for Unusual Noises: During operation, pay attention to the sounds the pump makes. Unusual noises may indicate mechanical problems or cavitation. Check Temperature: The motor comes with an overtemperature protection feature, which should activate if the motor gets too hot. If the pump repeatedly stops due to overheating, check for cooling issues or mechanical blockage. Run the Pump: Allow the system to run for a while and check for any leaks around the installation area. Monitor if the system maintains a consistent pressure.

Review Performance Curves: Refer to the performance curves in the Grundfos manual. Locate your pump model and cross-reference against your measured flow rate and head. Ensure that your pump is operating efficiently within its recommended curve range. Use Remote Control (if available): If you have the R100 remote control, use it to monitor the pump’s performance. It allows you to check settings and make adjustments if necessary. Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the performance is not as expected, consider the following potential issues:
Low Power Supply: Ensure the voltage supply is within the limits. A drop below 150 V can cause the pump to stop. Clogged Intake: Check for debris blocking the pump intake, which can reduce performance. Wrong Pump Size: If your pump cannot meet the required flow rate or pressure, it might be undersized for your application. Conclusion
Testing the performance of your Grundfos pump after installation is crucial for ensuring it operates efficiently and lasts long. By following the steps outlined above, you can identify any issues early on and take corrective measures.
