The Pump is not running
1Why isn’t my system turning on?
A common cause is a lack of electrical power. Confirm that the system is properly connected to a power source and check that the outlet or circuit is functioning correctly.
2What if the system has power but still won’t start?
There could be an internal blockage or mechanical issue, such as a jammed component. It’s best to have the system inspected and serviced by a qualified technician for cleaning or a complete overhaul.
Pump Does Not Draw Water
1Could the suction valve be the problem?
Yes, if the suction valve is not submerged, the pump won’t draw water. Make sure the suction valve is positioned below the water’s surface.
Pump Does Not Switch Off
1What if there’s a leak in the system?
A leaking pressure hose or outlet can prevent the pump from building enough pressure to shut off. Inspect for leaks and repair any damaged hoses or fittings.
Pump Discharge Rate Is Insufficient / lower than expected
1Is a blocked suction intake affecting the discharge rate?
Definitely. A clogged suction intake restricts water flow. Clean the suction intake to restore normal operation.
2Can dirt or debris in the system cause low discharge?
Yes. Dirt in the system equipment can reduce flow. Clean all components and have the tank cleaned and pump serviced or overhauled by a professional if necessary.
