FAQ'S

  • Why is my Pump Noisy?
    If the pump is noisy, several factors could be at play: Air may be trapped in the suction line. The suction or delivery valve spring might be broken or weak. Foreign matter could be lodged in the valves. Bearings may be worn. The strainer might be of the wrong size. To troubleshoot and resolve these issues: Check the water supply and connections on the suction line, ensuring no air is trapped. Replace the valve spring if necessary. Clean the suction and delivery valves thoroughly to remove any foreign matter. Replace worn bearings. Replace the strainer with one of the correct size."
  • Can I use a Fire Fighting Pump as a Sprayer?
    No, Interlink does not recommend using Fire Fighting Pumps on a Sprayer. Chemical residues left in the tank or lines can potentially accelerate a fire, while also posing health hazards to individuals operating fire fighting equipment if they come into contact with these substances.
  • Why is the pressure low after a period of normal use?
    If the pressure decreases after normal use, it could be due to various factors: If the nozzle is worn out. If the suction or delivery valve is worn out. If foreign matter obstructs the valves, preventing proper function. If the valve seats are worn. If the piston packing is worn. To address these issues: Inspect and replace worn nozzles if necessary. Examine and replace worn suction or delivery valves if needed. Clean the valves to remove any foreign matter hindering proper function. Check and replace worn valve seats if required. Inspect and replace worn piston packing if needed.
