Information on pump head of piston pump - KEW Brand

These pumps look have been dry for long period. Also form its bed to rewinding shop they would have been shifted place to place. So intentionally or unintentionally might have drained off. Reciprocating pump some times take its prime if it is wet and partially filled. But if bone dry, they may not self-prime. So ensure they are well primed and suction and discharge valves are active (dynamic and leak tight).

Still if not working give more info like as how you are testing these pumps, liquid source, at what elevation the source is, valves condition, gland condition etc.

Thanks.Yes pumps have been dry & moved around for a long time. The level of water is about 50cm above the centre line of the pumphead. It has no valves but recess for lipseals and O rings which we have fitted. No doubt parts are missing. Could we send you pictures of the opened up pumphead. Test were simply by filling the tank and running the motor. It took only 7amp almost no load current. Unable locate Kew Industriesthat produced the pump. Could you pls help.

Its my pleasure if I could help.

Please attach the relevant pictures herein or to me (contact@yesyen.com).
