Why is my Black & Decker Water Pump motor running but not pumping water?
- JJason SimonJul 29, 2025
If the motor of your Black & Decker Water Pump is running but not sucking in water, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the pump body was filled with water before starting. Also, check that the suction hose is airtight, using recommended accessories and Teflon tape on the threads. The foot valve suction strainer might be obstructed, so clean it. During priming, open the suction points. Allow enough time, filling the suction hose completely and waiting up to 7 minutes. Reduce excessive suction lift (max. 8 m). Finally, ensure the suction hose is immersed in water, checking the water level and lengthening the hose if needed.
