Review on SCHRAIBERPUMP Submersible EXCLUSIVE Protection Impregnated Rough Plumbing by Jorge Eckstein

WIRING AND CHECK VALVE

PUMP NOT YET INSTALLED. THE OLD PUMP MAY HAVE A FIXABLE PROBLEM (THE CONTROL VALVE MAY BE 'TEMPORARILY' CLOSED/CLOSE ALLOWING BACKFLOW AND HIGHER HYDRAULIC SHOCK TO THE BOREHOLE PUMP) WHICH WILL CLEAR THE IMAGE AND RESET THE SYSTEM. IF/IF THE PROBLEM RECURS, "PEN PUMP" WILL BE INSTALLED WITH ALL "NEW PARTS" (250 PSI POLY-WIRE PIPE, GASKETS, TORQUE LIMITER, BRASS CONNECTORS AND WIRING); AND, IF THE NEED IS ACCEPTED, A METAL BRASS CHECK VALVE. UPON ARRIVAL OF THE PUMP I PERFORMED A GENERAL INSPECTION OF THE UNIT (CHECK FOR BOLT TIGHTNESS, CLEAN/INTELLIGENT OUTLET THREADS, WIRING, CHECK VALVE ETC.). I NOTE THAT THE WIRING WAS ROLLED (TO PACKAGING?). HOWEVER, WHERE THE WIRING PASSES THE TOP OF THE PUMP BODY, SUCH WIRING WAS INVOICED (FOR PACKAGING?). A ROLLED CORD HARNESS CANNOT BE PACKED WITHOUT THREE INSULATIONS OF THE CABLES ON THE TOP OF THE PUMP BODY (JOINING AT THIS POINT WILL FIX THE OUTER INSULATION IF FURTHER EXTENDED). FOLDING THE CABLES IN "THIS" PACKING SPACE MAKES THE BUNDLE LARGER TO FIT THE PACKAGE WITHOUT STRETCHING. WE SUGGEST MAKING A "THIN" BAR WITH LONGER LOOPS THAT ALLOWS THE "BUDDLE" TO BE INSERTED INTO THE PACKAGE WITHOUT STRETCHING. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE INTERNAL CHECK VALVE IS NOT ALL METAL BUT SOME TYPE OF NYLON PLASTIC APPEARS. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CHECK VALVE BE REPLACED WITH AN ALL METAL VALVE TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Slightly cracked
