Frequently Asked Questions
What repair parts will we need to stock?
Since there are no moving parts in the Jeneer Float-Les HD landfill pump most of our customers only stock O-rings that we recommend be changed when the pump is reassembled.
If the pump stalls, will it continue to put air into the well?
No. In the event of a pump stall, often caused by excessive head pressure it will automatically shut off, eliminating any air from entering the well. It will then make subsequent attempts to restart, on an hourly basis. This same principle applies if there is a failure in the well's airline.
How difficult is the installation of the Float-Les landfill pump?
Installation is a straightforward process with the installation and fitting kit. The module securely attaches to the installation pole using two U-bolt clamps. It is then attached to the well casing with the help of two stainless steel quick-release hose clamps. You can utilize your current hose set and quick-connect fittings, as they simply thread into the air and discharge ports of the Jeneer pump.
What is the cost of the pump?
The cost is competitive with other air displacement pumps. The Jeneer pumps include an enclosed filter regulator and integrated accurate cycle counter that are extras with other pumps. For a detailed cost breakdown for your site please get in touch with us.
How difficult is it to clean the pump?
A benefit of the Jeneer pump is that it is typically cleaned right at the wellhead without disconnecting hose sets. Simply remove the three bolts and slide the pump body off to access the titanium sensor probes. They can be cleaned with a stainless steel wire brush or Scotch Brite pads.
Is the cycle counter accurate?
Yes, since a cycle count is only recorded when the probes are cleared of liquid. The LED is easy to read and also calculates the total gallons pumped.
Can I control the cycling of the pump?
Yes, this is easily done in the control module as you can set the delay or off time between cycles even if the pump fills. This is great for silty pumping conditions.
What temperatures can the pump operate in?
All pump components are rated up to 275F.
Does the pump work in foaming wells?
We have found that foam is very difficult with any pump. In these conditions, we recommend that you set a longer off time between cycles to let the foam settle.
