Do the Wayne ESP15 and the ESP25 also run off AC power? In case a person is away for a long time and the main pump fails, but the AC power is still o
819290
Yes. As long as the AC power is on, your system will run off of its battery power and the battery will recharge during the time the pump is not running.
819291
The battery charger will charge when plugged in. I believe the backup is for emergency and use an electric for normal use.
819292
The pump always runs off of battery power; however, if the main pump fails, and the power is still on, the battery is still constantly charging. So, the pump can run LONG periods of time, because the battery is always receiving a charge.
819293
Yes and no The pump runs itself just off battery but, the charger that is hooked to household senses when the battery is discharging and recharges the battery if household power is available.
819294
No, and yes. They are hooked up to the battery, and then a charger constantly charges the batteries. So it will work if the power is on and your other pump dies. It just operates by a float switch that you place higher than the main pump float switch. It doesn't run directly off of AC power but if it is getting used and the power is on, the battery will be getting replenished. If you had a real heavy flow for a long time then I'm not sure the charger would keep up and the battery might exhaust. But yes, it can act as a sort of failsafe if the main pump seizes and the power is still on. It doesn't require that the power is off in order to work.

from most of the things I have learned the start up of devices use a lot of extra wattage to start up then goes back down to normal wattage later but you cannot run ac for long unless you have very large battery bank for instance I believe for example my 75 amp battery will only run you ac for one hour before drained this is an estimate.

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.

Could be a faulty pump. I would either return the pump for replacement, or buy a new pump. They are inexpensive. I have not had any problems with mine. I would alos recommend buying an external power supply like Pyramid Model PS-4KX. I have one of these and I never have any troubles.

I have two electric pumps that I use to fill the raft. My boat has both AC/DC power so it is easy for me. Not sure what I would use if trying to do this with a non-powered pump.

I bought De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump few months ago, it didn't work outside US as it was only for 110v, although the product was available for international shipment. They do not mention voltage anywhere, which is strange. I bought a power converter for 1500Wt, which cost $50, while I paid $85 for machine.

I don't recall losing settings by the occasional power outage. However the entire circuit board shorted out at 20 months. The repair would have been more then a new pump cost. This pump was rushed to production without proper testing and therefore I would not recommend it. The 1 year warranty is not long enough. I replaced with an Ecopump that came with a 5 year warranty and is more efficient. Hayward customer service is horrible.

Yes, the unit requires a 110 outlet for a small auxiliary pump for use in households with very low water pressure. They do make one without the pump.

I would think this is too big to use with a backup pump. This is pretty large. It is meant to be a primary pump float. I am not sure if a change in wiring would work as it is meant to work on AC not DC. Why not just get a DC float switch from watchdog?

I connected mine to a 12Vdc power supply that I had from a previous project. batteries should work too, but of course they would require re-charging, kind of a pain. I installed a switch to turn the pump on and off. Also, I plan to use mine for sparging a beer mash. The pump has some gears that are lubricated with some type of grease. I would recommend running some hot water through it several times, before using it for human consumption. but it seems to run well, just a little noisy. hope this helps,

Each pump has its own float switch! There is a top switch that sets off an alarm if both pumps fail to work. My AC pump starts about 9inches and stops about 4 inches. The DC pump starts around6 inches. It only starts if the AC PUMP DOES NOT

If the pump does not need to be reset each time it turns off, I would think it is fine. The Err01 means undervoltage which does occur as it turns off.

The answer is ( yes) there is a capacitor.... This model SWS75 pump is a take out of the box and just add plumbing and prime it and run......I replaced my old Wayne well pump of 19 years with this new one. This pump has never leaked a seal or malfunctioned in any way. For my money this deal cannot be beat. I give this pump and price as a personal rating of a 10 plus rating. hope this helps.

Yes it will start simply by plugging it into your standard AC house current. There are no batteries to charge. it is a standard ''plug in'' pump.

Were you able to top it off with a foot pump or another battery operated one? I like the auto feature but sometimes electricty is not available. It looks like with the pull plug that you can manually inflate if you have to. Is this the case?

The one I have is the power driven one I believe. Unfortunately though, I just ordered a new pump cause the flywheel stopped working on mine. : (

I have not had any problems with power lose or surge. The settings remain. I LOVE this pump. Very very happy with it.
