How to Check the Power Supply for Your AL-KO Immersion Pump
If you are experiencing issues with your AL-KO immersion pump, one of the first things you should investigate is the power supply. A reliable power source is crucial for the proper functioning of any electrical device, including your pump. This article will walk you through the steps to check your power supply and troubleshoot any potential electrical issues. 1. Safety First
Before you start any checks, it’s essential to prioritize safety. Here are some safety tips:
Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump from the mains before inspecting or doing any repairs. Inspect Cables: Check that your connection cables and any extension cords are in perfect working order. Look for signs of wear, frays, or cuts. Use an RCD: It is highly recommended to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a nominal current of less than 30 mA for added safety. 2. Checking the Mains Voltage
Ensure that the mains voltage matches the specifications provided in the manual.

The power supply must meet the following criteria:
Voltage Specifications: The voltage of your home must be in line with the pump’s electrical information (as per the technical data). Protection Switch: It’s advised to have a 10 A line protection switch. Ensure this is functional as it protects against overload or short circuit. Steps to Check the Voltage:
Plug in the Pump: Insert the plug securely into a wall socket. Test the Socket: If available, use a multimeter to check that the socket provides the correct voltage according to your pump’s specifications. Examine the Breaker: Check for tripped breakers in your electric box. If the circuit breaker has tripped, reset it and see if the pump starts working. 3. Inspecting the Float Switch and Connections
The float switch is key in automating the pump’s operation. Issues with this component can prevent the pump from turning on. How to Inspect the Float Switch:
Listen for Sound: When plugged in, listen for the sound of the float operating (it should click as water levels rise and fall). Check for Blockages: Ensure nothing is blocking the float from moving up and down.

Check Connections: Make sure the float switch is correctly attached to the pump and the cable is not damaged. 4. Troubleshooting Potential Issues
If your immersion pump still does not work after checking the power supply and float switch, consider the following common issues:
MALFUNCTION POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED SOLUTION
Pump does not run No mains power Check fuses and electrical connections. Thermal protection has switched off Overheating due to a blockage Wait for the motor to cool; check for blockages. Pump runs but does not feed Air in the pump housing Vent the pump by tilting it or check for obstructions. 5. When to Call a Professional
If after following these steps your pump still does not operate correctly, it might be time to consult a qualified electrician. Depending on the problem, it may involve inspecting the internal components of the pump or replacing wiring that is damaged. Conclusion
Regularly checking the power supply and safety features of your AL-KO immersion pump can help ensure its efficient operation. By following these steps, you will not only troubleshoot any problems but also maintain the pump for long-term use.
