Q: Does the Simer 2330 Automatic Submersible Utility Pump function only when there is water present? Am I correct in assuming that I need only to connect a hose to it and plug it into an electrical outlet, no timers, etc? by Terry Weygandt from California on March 23, 2012
A: The Smart GeyserTM is fully automatic in operation. The “smart” controller starts the pump every 2-1/2 minutes and causes it to run for 5 seconds. If it senses that there is no water to the pump, it stops. If it senses water, it continues to run until the water is pumped down to 1/4" deep, and then it stops. It then goes into a 7-minute quick-detection cycle, starting 4 times the first minute, twice the second minute, and once a minute for the next 5 minutes. If by the last check it has not detected water, it resumes its cycle (running 5 seconds every 2-1/2 minutes) until it senses water again. by Jose, Product Expert
The Smart Geyser, is just that, smart. This pump is like any other utility pump, except most other utility pumps run continuously. That means you have to stand around and watch the pump until the water has been pumped dry. The Smart Geyser will turn on and off automatically every 2 1/2 minutes. This pump comes with thermoplastic construction for impact and corrosion resistance. It also has thermal overload protection so you don't have to worry about walking away from the pump while it's plugged in. With the bottom suction design it filters and removes water all the way down to 1/4” of surface. This pump earns our better rating because of it's smart features.
