To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Flotec FP0S2400A start and stop frequently?
If your Flotec Water Pump starts and stops too often, it might be due to backflow of water from the piping. To resolve this, install or replace the check-valve. Another possible cause is a faulty float switch, which would need to be replaced.
How to troubleshoot a Flotec Water Pump that won't start?
If your Flotec Water Pump won't start or run, first ensure it's properly plugged into an outlet. If it is plugged in, check the fuse and replace it with a proper size fuse if it's blown. Also, low line voltage can be a factor; check the wiring size from the main switch. If the wiring is OK, contact your power company or hydro authority. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the motor or float switch might be defective and need replacement. Finally, check the impeller for any obstructions that may be preventing it from turning; remove the lower pump body to locate and clear any blockages.
What to do if my Flotec FP0S2400A delivers little or no water?
If your Flotec Water Pump operates but delivers little or no water, the issue could stem from several causes. Start by checking for low line voltage and inspect the wiring from the main switch; if it's adequate, contact your power company. Inspect the impeller and intake screen for obstructions, and clean them if necessary. If the impeller is worn, defective, or plugged, clean it or replace the pump. If you have a check valve installed, ensure it has a vent hole with a diameter of 1/16" - 1/8" (1.6mm - 3.2mm) drilled between the pump discharge and the check valve, 1-2” above where the discharge pipe screws into the pump discharge and below the waterline. Finally, verify that the check valve is installed correctly.
What to do if my Flotec FP0S2400A Water Pump won't shut off?
If your Flotec Water Pump won’t shut off, a defective float switch is a possible cause and should be replaced. Another cause may be a restricted discharge due to an obstacle or ice in the piping, so you should remove the pump and clean both the pump and piping. Also, check if the float is obstructed and remove any obstructions. Finally, a restricted intake screen can also cause this issue; remove the pump and clean the intake screen and the impeller.
