Pump vibrates excessively and may move on the pad during operation.

Safety first: Turn off power before touching the pump or pipework.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Check for debris: Remove the pump lid and basket, inspect the impeller area for foreign objects.
• 2. Secure mounting: Ensure the Davey pump is firmly fixed to a solid base using appropriate mounting bolts or screws.
• 3. Inspect feet: Replace any perished rubber feet or pads under the pump.
• 4. Check pipe alignment: Ensure suction and discharge pipes are not forcing the pump out of alignment; support long pipe runs with brackets.
