Why FILL-RITE FR311V Water Pump won't prime?
- D
  Debra FischerAug 12, 2025
  If your FILL-RITE Water Pump isn't priming, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the suction line for any leaks. Inspect the bypass valve to ensure it moves freely and is clear of debris. Examine the vanes and slots for any signs of wear, nicks, or burrs. Inspect the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage, replacing them if necessary. Also, verify that the pump outlet, hose, nozzle, and filter are free from blockages. Vapor lock can also prevent priming; try reducing the vertical and horizontal distance from the pump to the liquid and remove the automatic nozzle.

  If the motor of your FILL-RITE Water Pump overheats and the thermal overload trips, consider these potential causes: If you are pumping high viscosity fluids, remember that these fluids should only be pumped for short periods (less than 30 minutes duty cycle). Remove and clean the screen if it's clogged. Also, remove and clean the suction pipe if it is restricted. Clean and check the pump rotor and vanes.
