If your Duro Water Pump motor isn't running, first ensure the power is on and check for blown fuses, loose or broken wires, a low voltage supply, or a malfunctioning pressure switch. If those aren't the cause, the motor may be burned out and need replacing. Check with your dealer for warranty coverage.
What to do if my Duro Water Pump is cycling too often?
If your Duro Water Pump is cycling too often, the issue might be a waterlogged pressure tank. Check for a faulty AVC or low pressure in a pre-charged tank. Another cause could be a hidden water loss, so inspect for leaky faucets and pipes drawing from the tank, and check the foot valve for leaks that bleed water back into the well.
Why is my Duro Water Pump not supplying enough water?
If your Duro Water Pump isn't supplying the rated amount of water, several factors could be at play. The nozzle or impeller might be clogged, requiring you to disassemble the pump and inspect these components. The well lift could be too high; check the water level and compare the vertical distance to the pump against the pump's tolerance. There could also be a leak in the piping. The pressure control might be set too high; compare the minimum pressure with the operating pressure. The offset piping could be too small, suggesting you replace the suction and drive lines with larger diameter pipe. Finally, inspect the impeller or diffuser vanes for wear or internal blockage.
Why is my Duro Water Pump not providing any water?
If your Duro Water Pump isn't providing any water, first check if the motor is running. If the motor is running, improper priming could be the issue; stop the motor, reprime the pump, and repeat until all air is removed. A leaky foot valve can also prevent proper priming in deep well pumps. Another possibility is an air leak in the suction line; plug the pump discharge, screw a Schrader valve into the tapping, raise the pressure to about 80 lbs with a tire pump, and check for pressure drops with soapsuds. Finally, the foot valve might not be submerged; check the vertical distance to the water level in the well and replace the piping with a longer length if needed.
What to do if my Duro Water Pump motor overload keeps kicking out?
If the Duro Water Pump motor overload keeps kicking out, start by checking the wiring diagram to ensure connections are properly matched to the voltage. Also, check the voltage at the pump with a voltmeter and ensure the wiring is heavy enough for long runs from the power supply. Inadequate ventilation could also be the problem; take steps to increase air flow through the pump location or air circulation around the motor.
Why is the pressure too low to shut off my Duro Water Pump switch?
If the pressure is too low to shut off your Duro Water Pump switch, the ejector nozzle might be plugged; remove the plug and clean out the nozzle. The switch may also be out of adjustment; check the cut-in and cut-out pressures with an accurate gauge and reset the switch to a lower pressure if necessary. The foot valve could be partially plugged; inspect the foot valve screen and clear it if necessary. The offset piping may be too small; replace the suction and drive lines with larger diameter pipe.
Why is air being delivered through the faucet at low pressure from my Duro Water Pump?
If air is being delivered through the faucet at low pressure from your Duro Water Pump, there may be air in the pressure tank. Check the AVC tubing for loose fittings.
