6 Useful Accessories
6.1 Base Suckers
Our homepage at www.tauchpumpen.de provides a wide range of useful
accessories. This chapter describes the installation of the most frequently used
accessories:
If you want to pump your cellar practically dry, for example, a base sucker from
Auras can be used. The Auras base suckers pump the water practically to floor
level.
6.1.1 Installing the base sucker
1. Disconnect the submersible pump from the power supply.
2. Lay the submersible pump on its side.
3. Loosen the three nuts in the base plate on the underside of the submersible
pump.
4. Remove the base plate.
5. Mount the base sucker on the underside of the submersible pump. The collar
must point to the air intake of the submersible pump.
6. Tighten the three nuts in the base plate on the underside of the submersible
pump.
6.1.2 Using the base sucker
Position the submersible pump with Auras base sucker installed at the lowest
possible point of the area to be pumped.
If you use a submersible pump with the Auras automatic system, switch to
Continuous operation.
Plug the power connector of the submersible pump in a power socket. The
submersible pump starts its pumping operation.
6.2 External Float Switch
If your pump is not equipped with the Auras automatic system but you need an
automatic operation option despite this, we recommend the float switch from Auras.
6.2.1 Connecting the float switch
NOTE
Running dry could damage the submersible pump. Ensure the float switch switches
the submersible pump off in good time. Fix the cable of the float switch so that the
float hangs vertically down when the water level is low and, as a result, switches
the pump off.
