What to do if my Flotec Water Pump won't start or run?
If your Flotec Water Pump won't start or run, here are a few things to check: * First, ensure the pump is properly plugged into a working outlet. * Next, inspect the fuse or breaker. If it's blown, replace the fuse with one of the correct size or reset the breaker. * Also, low line voltage can be a factor.
