1. Introduksjon
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient operation, installation, and maintenance of your SEAFLO 31-Series DC Diaphragm Pump. This 12V pump is designed for high-pressure applications, delivering a steady 1.8 GPM flow rate with a 100 PSI shut-off pressure. It is suitable for RV water systems, agricultural sprayers, marine use, and high-pressure cleaning applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.
2. Sikkerhetsinformasjon
- Koble alltid fra strømmen før installasjon, service eller vedlikehold på pumpen.
- Sørg for at strømkilden samsvarer med pumpens volumtage requirements (12V DC). Incorrect voltage can damage the pump and pose a safety hazard.
- Do not pump flammable liquids or use the pump in explosive atmospheres.
- Protect the pump from freezing temperatures. Freezing can cause severe damage and void the warranty.
- Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free to prevent water damage or electrical shorts.
- Bruk passende personlig verneutstyr (PPE) under installasjon og vedlikehold.

4. Oppsett og installasjon
Proper installation is crucial for the pump's performance and longevity. Follow these guidelines:
4.1 Montering
- Mount the pump in a dry, well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.
- Use the integrated mounting feet to secure the pump to a solid surface. The industry-standard mounting pattern allows for quick installation.
- Mount the pump in a position that allows for easy access for maintenance and inspection.
- Ensure the pump is mounted below the water source for optimal self-priming, or within 6 feet (1.8m) of the water source if above.
4.2 VVS-tilkoblinger

- Connect the inlet port (marked with an arrow pointing towards the pump) to your water source using appropriate 3/8"-18 FNPT fittings.
- Connect the outlet port (marked with an arrow pointing away from the pump) to your distribution system.
- Bruk fleksibel slange på både innløp og utløp for å minimere vibrasjon og støy.
- Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten plastic fittings.
- Install a filter on the inlet side to protect the pump from debris.
4.3 Elektriske tilkoblinger
- Koble pumpen til en 12V DC strømkilde.
- Sørg for riktig polaritet: Rød ledning til positiv (+), svart ledning til negativ (-).
- Install an appropriate fuse (refer to pump specifications for Max Draw, 9.0A, and select a fuse slightly higher, e.g., 10A or 15A) in the positive (+) line as close to the power source as possible.
- Use marine-grade or automotive-grade wiring of sufficient gauge for the current draw and length of the run.
- All electrical connections should be waterproofed and protected from corrosion.
5. Bruksanvisning
Once installed, operating the SEAFLO 31-Series pump is straightforward:
- Grunning: Ensure the inlet line is submerged in water. The pump is self-priming up to 6 feet. Open a faucet or outlet on the discharge side to allow air to escape.
- Strøm på: Apply 12V DC power to the pump. The pump will run until the system pressure reaches the shut-off pressure (100 PSI).
- Automatisk drift: The built-in pressure switch will automatically turn the pump off when the system reaches the set pressure and turn it back on when the pressure drops (e.g., when a faucet is opened).
- Run-Dry Protection: The pump is designed to run dry without damage, but continuous dry running should be avoided to prolong pump life.
- Temperatur: Do not exceed the maximum liquid temperature of 140°F (60°C).
6. Vedlikehold
Regelmessig vedlikehold sikrer optimal ytelse og forlenger pumpens levetid.
- Inspiser tilkoblinger: Periodically check all plumbing and electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or wear.
- Rengjør innløpsfilteret: Hvis et innløpsfilter er installert, rengjør det regelmessig for å forhindre at rusk kommer inn i pumpen og reduserer gjennomstrømningen.
- Vinterisering (hvis aktuelt): If the pump is used in an environment where freezing temperatures are possible, drain all water from the pump and lines or flush with RV antifreeze to prevent damage.
- Generell rengjøring: Keep the exterior of the pump clean and free of dirt and debris.
7. Feilsøking
Before contacting support, review følgende vanlige problemer og løsninger:
| Problem | Mulig årsak | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpen går ikke | No power; Blown fuse; Loose wiring; Faulty switch | Check power supply; Replace fuse; Tighten connections; Test switch. |
| Lav strømning eller trykk | Clogged inlet filter; Air leak in inlet line; Restricted discharge line; Low voltage; Worn pump head. | Clean filter; Check inlet connections for leaks; Clear discharge line; Verify 12V supply; Inspect pump head. |
| Pumpen går, men det er ikke vann | No water in tank; Air lock; Inlet line not submerged; Major air leak. | Check water level; Prime pump by opening outlet; Ensure inlet is submerged; Check all inlet connections. |
| Pump cycles on/off rapidly | Small leak in system; Pressure switch setting too low; Accumulator tank (if present) needs air. | Check for leaks in plumbing; Adjust pressure switch (if adjustable); Check accumulator tank pressure. |
