  Karen RiggsAug 18, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump isn't pumping water, first release any trapped air using the delivery control valve. Then, check for and seal any air leaks. Also, inspect the foot valve and suction pipe, cleaning or replacing them if blocked, and ensuring the pipe is fully immersed. Finally, clean or replace a blocked suction filter, or replace a damaged flap valve if your model is NRD or NRD4.

How to troubleshoot a Calpeda Water Pump when the engine does not start?
- D
  Dr. Joseph StevensAug 21, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump engine won't start, begin by verifying that the mains frequency and voltage are correct. Next, ensure the power supply cable is properly connected and check the thermal overload protection setting. Also, check the power supply, confirm the pump shaft turns freely, and again, verify the thermal overload protection setting. Finally, replace any blown or defective fuses, and re-check the power supply and shaft.

Why is the flow insufficient in my Calpeda NR Water Pump?
- M
  Morgan EdwardsAug 23, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump has insufficient flow, ensure you're using pipes and accessories of the correct diameter for your application. Clean the impeller and install a suction filter to remove any deposits or solid bodies. Replace a deteriorated impeller or, if necessary, both the impeller and the pump casing if they are worn. If there are gases dissolved in the water, perform opening and closing maneuvers through the feeder gate. Note that if the liquid is too viscous, the pump is unsuitable. Ensure the pump's rotation is correct by inverting the electrical connections if needed. Finally, replace the flap valve if it's damaged or faulty, especially on NRD and NRD4 models.

How to reduce noise and vibrations from my Calpeda NR Water Pump?
- T
  Tamara RossAug 26, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump is making unusual noises and vibrating, the bearings may be worn and require replacement. Also, verify that the mains voltage is correct, as an unbalanced power supply can cause these issues.

  alexanderalyssaAug 28, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump is blocked, and it has been inactive for a while, use a screwdriver to turn the notch on the back of the shaft to unblock it. If there are solid objects in the impeller, remove them. If the bearings are blocked, replace them.

Why is my Calpeda NR leaking from the mechanical seal?
- C
  Christine SanchezAug 30, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump is leaking from the mechanical seal, ensure the pump casing is full of liquid and all air has been removed. If the seal is scored by abrasive particles, install a suction filter and use a seal suited to the liquid. If the seal is unsuitable for the application, choose a more appropriate one. For slight initial drips, allow the seal to adjust; if the issue continues, revisit the steps for dry running, abrasive particles, or seal suitability.

  If your Calpeda Water Pump engine isn't starting, first, verify that the mains frequency and voltage are suitable. Then, ensure the power supply cable is correctly connected and check the thermal overload protection setting. Also, check for blown or defective fuses and replace them if necessary, rechecking the power supply and shaft movement. If the issue persists, the motor may have failed, requiring repair or replacement.

What to do if my Calpeda Water Pump has insufficient flow?
- K
  Katherine BakerSep 3, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump is experiencing insufficient flow, ensure that the pipes and accessories are adequately sized for your specific application. Clean the impeller and install a suction filter to remove any deposits or solid bodies. If the impeller is deteriorated or worn, along with the pump case, replacement is necessary. For issues related to gases dissolved in the water, perform opening and closing maneuvers through the feeder gate. If the liquid's viscosity is too high, the pump may be unsuitable. Finally, verify and correct the direction of rotation by inverting the electrical connections in the terminal board.

What to do if Calpeda Water Pump runs but no water comes out?
- B
  Barbara FloresSep 8, 2025
  If your Calpeda Water Pump functions but no water comes out, start by releasing any air from the pump using the delivery control valve. Check for and seal any air infiltration. Ensure the foot valve isn't blocked and the suction pipe is fully immersed in the liquid. Also, clean or replace the suction filter if it's blocked.
