  If your FILL-RITE Power Pump won't prime, there are several potential causes: * There may be leaks in the suction line, so check for these. * The bypass valve may be open; remove and inspect it to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. * The vanes might be sticking; inspect the vanes and slots for nicks, burrs, and wear. * There may be excessive rotor or vane wear; inspect the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage, and replace if necessary. * The pump outlet may be blocked; check the pump outlet, hose, nozzle, and filter for blockage. * There may be a vapor lock; reduce the vertical and horizontal distance from the pump to the liquid and remove the automatic nozzle.

Why is my FILL-RITE Power Pump running slowly?
- K
  Kyle SmithJul 30, 2025
  If your FILL-RITE Power Pump is running slowly, consider the following: * Check the incoming line voltage while the pump is running to ensure it's correct. * Inspect the vanes and slots for nicks, burrs, and wear, as sticking vanes can cause this issue. * Check for loose connections in the wiring. * If none of the above resolves the issue, the motor may have a problem.

What to do if my FILL-RITE 3200 motor overheats?
- M
  Mrs. Marissa SolomonAug 4, 2025
  If the motor of your FILL-RITE Power Pump overheats, it could be due to several reasons: * Pumping high viscosity fluids can cause overheating, and these fluids should only be pumped for short periods (less than 30 minutes duty cycle). * A clogged screen can restrict flow; remove and clean the screen. * A restricted suction pipe can also cause overheating; remove and clean the pipe. * The pump rotor may be locked up; clean and check the pump rotor and vanes. * If none of the above, the motor may have failed.

Why does my FILL-RITE 3200 have low capacity?
- D
  Danielle DuncanAug 8, 2025
  A low capacity in your FILL-RITE Power Pump can stem from several causes: * Excessive dirt in the screen: remove and clean the screen. * Suction line problems: check for leaks or restrictions; the line may be too small, too long, or not airtight. * A sticking bypass valve: remove and inspect the valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. * Sticking vanes: check the vanes and slots for wear. * Excessive rotor or vane wear: inspect the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage, and replace if necessary. * Damage to the hose or nozzle: replace the hose or nozzle. * A plugged filter: replace the filter. * Low fluid level: fill the tank.

  Jessica PerezAug 12, 2025
  If the motor of your FILL-RITE Power Pump stalls, or if the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, consider these potential causes: * A sticking bypass valve: remove and inspect the valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. * Low voltage: check the incoming line voltage while the pump is running. * Excessive rotor or vane wear: check the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage. * Debris in the pump cavity: clean debris from the pump cavity.
