Pump features:
Most Orange shallow well pumps can operate as a high pressure pump or automatic pressure system when equipped with an Orange pressure system package or sold as a packaged system. Packaged systems are similar to pumps and the same common installation technique can be used for both.
Electrical: The Orange single phase 230 volt pump is equipped with a unique plug and power extension lead. This connects the pump to a standard power outlet. If used as a pressure system the kit connects the pump to a switch and the extension cord is used to connect the switch to the power outlet.

Centrifugal water pumps use centrifugal force to pressurize and move water from the inlet to the outlet. A rotating set of vanes (called an 'impeller') is spun by the pump shaft. As water is forced through the impeller, rotational energy is transferred from the impeller to the water, which gains velocity and pressure through the centrifugal force applied and is flung from the impeller.
Different types of packing are designed to leak at certain rates. If the packing begins to leak at a greater rate than the allowed amount, tighten the packing gland with a simple end wrench until the leakage is reduced to lie within the packing parameters. Additionally, the stuffing box temperature should be checked regularly. If the temperature becomes too high, loosen the packing gland until the temperature drops to a consistently safe level.
Absolutely. The water pump shaft and impeller are spinning at extremely fast rates. With no water to transfer their rotational energy to, that energy is released as heat instead. If the pump is run dry, its moving parts will become extremely hot, causing severe damage to the pump over time and greatly limiting its service life.
Yes, various pumps lift water differing vertical distances.
Several factors can affect water pump performance. If low water output is noticed, one of the first things to check is the water pump shaft rpm to ensure it is spinning within specifications. Also check that the water inlet of the pump is not obstructed. Also check to see if the impeller is damaged or if the shaft bearings are worn or damaged. Consult your Service Manual for complete details.
An air lock occurs when large pockets of air are drawn into the inlet side of the water pump. This essentially acts as a void, and can prevent the pump from drawing in water. Not only will this decrease (or even stop) pump performance, it can be very damaging as well. If the air pocket is drawn through the impeller and into an area of high water pressure, the bubbles will collapse and create large shock waves that will severely damage the pump.
Yes, we do! Our special pump is available in a corrosion-resistant form. In this version, all parts that come into contact with water are stainless steel.
Yes.
Look for a metal identification tag on the frame of the pump. Compare your pump with the photos in this catalog or on our website. Send us a photo of the water pump and request further assistance.
Yes, If a pump is allowed to freeze with water in it, cracking of the volute case as well as damage to the shaft and bearing set may occur. Thoroughly drain the water system of your pump and tank in freezing weather. If the pump has been frozen, inspect it for damage before returning it to service.
