How to fix a Flotec FP480WBU Water Pump that operates continuously and doesn’t shut off?
- R
  Rebekah RobbinsAug 12, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump runs continuously and doesn’t shut off, the automatic valve might be sticking open; manually check its operation. Another cause could be a float stuck in the 'ON' position, so clear any obstructions. Also, ensure that the rod stops are correctly set on the float rod to allow proper valve operation by adjusting their position.

What to do if my Flotec Water Pump is not pumping water?

  If your Flotec Water Pump isn't pumping water, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the supply valve is open. Check that the automatic valve opens correctly and replace it if needed. Inspect the float for obstructions and free action. Clean the ejector and inlet screen if they're plugged. Adjust the float rod stops if the water level drops too low. Install or clean the check valve in the primary pump discharge if it's stuck or missing. Inspect and clean the discharge line for blockages. Reduce the discharge height if the pump exceeds its rated lift. Install a larger pipe from the city water supply if the water supply is below 40 PSI. Note that the pump requires continuous pressure to operate, so it won't work with a well pump.

Why is my Flotec Water Pump operating at less than full capacity?
- K
  kristen94Sep 1, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump isn't operating at full capacity, it could be due to a few reasons. Make sure the supply valve is completely open and the automatic valve is functioning correctly to avoid restricted water flow. Clean the pump suction or ejector if they are partially plugged. Install or replace the primary pump's check valve if it's missing or leaking. Also, check the discharge line and clean out any blockages.
