Slimline tank showing tap and overflow

Free rainwater on tap

Ever thought about installing a tank for garden watering or even with a changeover system to use a combination of mains or tank water for washing and toilets as well as the garden?

One of our customers recently had a garden pump in for repair. We then installed a slimline tank for her and connected it up, with downpipe, manual tap and automatic tap outlet for a garden hose and the repaired pump now had a new lease of life watering the garden.

Get your pool ready for summer

We can help you with service and repairs to pool pumps and filters. Spring is here so it is is the ideal time to get your pump serviced to ensure a trouble free swimming season. Servicing now means your pump can be offline for a while without the water turning green!

DJ’s can service your pump if you bring it in (cheaper) or we can pick it up from your place and reinstall it (this incurs service calls, therefore dearer). Check out these pages: service, pool pumps.

Also we have some very good deals on Davey Pool Pumps and Chlorinators at the moment.

Emma’s Pump Problem Solved

Emma recently came in to our shop with a problem. Her tank pump wasn’t working and she wasn ‘t sure why. She had seen all the five star reviews on Google so thought she would try us out.

Steve, one of the technical specialists in store was happy to help her by explaining what could be the problem. He explained it could be the capacitor or the pressure controller.

If it is the capacitor that is the  problem you will probably hear a buzzing sound with out the motor running. If it is the controller, the pump will probably just not turn on.

We can come to you or you can bring your pump to us and we will help you. Here at DJ’s we can help you with advice and actual service and repairs or provide a new pump if that is going to be more economical for you.

A frog in the throat?

Collette turned up at DJ’s Electric Motor and Pump Centre one morning last week. In her hands was a Grundfos pump used for pumping from the household tank to the toilets and laundry.

It was a multistage pump, which meant it provided really good pressure for the house, and being Grundfos, it was very good quality! But it wasn’t pumping water for the toilets or laundry as it had been. That was a problem. She came because we are really good with service and repairs and can fix pump problems.

Because it was for household water supply it went straight to the top of the list for resurrection.

Michael, one of our in-house service techs tested it and pulled it down. And that’s where he found the problem. A frog was stuck in the impeller, and unfortunately for the frog it was deceased. Not so the pump! With a little of DJ’s magic, the remains of the frog were removed. The rest of the pump was thoroughly checked and tested, and Michael replaced a seal which was showing signs of wear. All done before lunch time.

In discussions with Collette, we also supplied some new suction hose and fittings to make the installation a lot better.

Result? Happy Collette; she had a fully functioning quality pump back in operation to flush and wash with abandon. Satisfied DJ’s; we were able to make another customer very happy with our service and care!

Pool Pump Servicing – It Is Time!

Why Servicing Your Pool Pump Is Important.

In order to keep your water fresh, clean and hygienic your most important piece of equipment needs to be fully functioning.  Without your pump the water becomes stagnant and bacteria starts to settle and grow.  Once the pool water is out of balance it can take weeks to clean and return to safe levels of cleanliness ready for swimming.

Parts in the pumps can become worn over time such as the bearings, o-rings, seals and the housing unit.  If these parts are not maintained the pump begins to leak and make excessive noise and can over heat leading to sort circuiting or other problems.

Davey Handover Kit

Things you can do at home.

Regularly cleaning the pump strainer, checking equipment.  While the pump is running take the time to check for leaks and listen for unusual sounds. Keeping the pool free from large debris (such as leaves and sticks) can also help in the longevity of your pump – these items can sometimes get stuck in the impeller causing low effectiveness. Not maintaining your pump can lead to expensive repairs.

 Take a look at our website for swimming pool equipment.

Making a splash at Ipswich Grammar School

https://www.djselectricmotors.com.au

Ipswich Grammar School had a problem. Their waterfall which graces the entrance of the school was not working. This was a issue for the school as the waterfall was required as the backdrop for the school formal photos.

The solution was to call DJ’s Electric Motor and Pump Centre. Our Service Manager Dan along with Steve, our resident pump expert “jumped in” to solve the problem in double quick time. They found the problem to be a faulty foot valve. This was ordered and replaced and the waterfall was ready for students to capture their special night.

My Pump Won’t Work. What Do I Do?

At some stage we are going to have some problems with our household pump. If you notice it noisy or leaking, you should bring it in to us for a service which could include replacing bearings when they get noisy (left too long you could seize the motor which could be terminal) or replacing seals. We will also check the capacitor. Bearing, seals and capacitors will wear out in time and regular servicing will make sure there is no problem.

However, there may be other problems as well from time to time.

 

If your pump has a pressure tank like this Davey XP350, then check the list.
