What to do now
Installer needed
The pump is drawing the water level down.
- Keep it switched off.
- Note the level, and how quickly it drops while the pump runs.
- The yield of the source and the duty of the pump are reviewed together before it runs again.
Stop or get help when: Do not run it in short bursts to keep the level up, and do not bypass a dry-run protection.
Send with this
- The level and how fast it drops
- Nameplate photograph
- How the pump is installed
Send this check to HOBER
Two photographs help most: one of the whole screen or of the fault as you see it, and one of the pump or controller nameplate. Send them in the message you are already using, or attach them on the Contact page.
If English is difficult, write in your own language and describe what you see in your own words. Photographs help too.

03 / Before you write to us
Two photographs, and what you already know.
The check records what you answered. Only these two photographs have to come from you; everything else is optional.
- The whole screen, or the fault as you see it
- The pump, controller or inverter nameplate
- What the system runs on — solar panels only, a grid, a generator or a battery — if you know it
- The water level, if you can see it or already know it
A long description in English is not needed. Write in your own language, and keep the two photographs with it.
Next step
