  If your Flotec Water Pump isn't emptying the sump, try the following: 1. Ensure all valves in the discharge valve are fully open. 2. Clean out the discharge pipe and check valve. 3. Check for any blockages in the pump inlet or impeller. 4. Consider that the pump might not be adequately sized; a higher capacity pump could be necessary. 5. Verify the float switch operation for maximum possible clearance.

  If your Flotec Water Pump starts and then stops immediately, a thermal overload may have tripped. Disconnect the pump from the power source for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool, then reconnect it. Also, investigate the cause of overheating or overloading.

  If your Flotec Water Pump isn't working, here are a few things to check: * Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the outlet. Disconnect power before handling the pump or motor. * Confirm you have electrical power at the outlet. * Ensure the liquid level is high enough to activate the switch or controller. * Check that the 3/16" (4.7 mm) vent hole in the discharge pipe isn't blocked. * Look for any blockages in the pump inlet, impeller, check valve, or discharge pipe. * The thermal overload may have tripped. Try restarting the pump; if it starts and stops quickly, disconnect it from power for 30 minutes to cool, then reconnect. Investigate the cause of overheating. * Verify the float switch has maximum possible clearance.
