Possible Causes
Recent mains outage or brownout, Unstable supply from grid, Loose supply plug or isolator switch, Faulty RCD or breaker tripping intermittently
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset breakers that trip immediately; this can be dangerous.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Confirm mains power: Check that other appliances on the same circuit have power.
- 2. Inspect plug and isolator: Ensure the pump plug (if fitted) is fully inserted and the isolator switch near the pump is ON.
- 3. Reset controller: After stable power is restored, press the START/RESET button on the Davey controller to clear PF.
- 4. Monitor for repeat events: If PF appears frequently, have an electrician check the supply and protective devices.
