We were called by a vets practice to inspect a pump which kept tripping.  On investigation our engineer found that the pump was blocked with debris which was causing the issue rather than an electrical fault.

Our engineer cleared the blockage in the pump chamber and flushed the pump through with water followed by a comprehensive test it to ensure it was running correctly.

What causes pump to trip?

• bearings temperature or vibration is high.
• motor is overloaded.
• mechanical seal damage.
• damaged wiring.
