Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
The pump does not pump water.
The pump is not priming.
 Pump must be primed. Make sure that
pump body and basket body are full of
water. See priming instructions.
There are leaks in the suction piping.
 Make sure there are no leaks in suction
piping.
The suction inlet is above water level.
 Make sure suction inlet is well below the
water level to prevent pump from sucking
air.
The vertical distance of the pump is too
high to water level.
 Pump is designed to prime at a vertical
distance of 10 ft. or less. Verify suction lift
is 10 ft or less. Lower pump closer
(vertically) to water source.
The pump is clogged.
 Make sure suction trap is not clogged; if it
is, then clean trap and strainer.
 Make sure the impeller is not clogged.
The impeller and diffuser are worn.
 Impeller and diffuser may be worn. If so,
order replacement parts. For more
information call customer service.
The pump is incorrect for this installation.
 The pump may be trying to push too high a
column of water. If so, a “higher head”
pump is needed.
The pump is experiencing electrical
issues.
The voltage is incorrect.
 Pump may be running too slowly; check
voltage at motor terminals and at meter
while pump is running. If low, see wiring
instructions or consult power company.
Check for loose connections.
 Pump may be too hot.
a) Check line voltage; if less than 90% or
more than 110% of rated voltage
consult a licensed electrician.
b) Increase ventilation.
c) Reduce ambient temperature.
d) Tighten any loose connections.
The pump is experiencing mechanical
troubles and noise.
There are issues with the piping.
 If suction and discharge piping are not
adequately supported, pump assembly will
be strained. See "Installation."

 Do not mount the pump on a wooden
platform! Securely mount on a concrete
platform for quietest performance before
working on pump or motor.
