How to fix a Flotec Water Pump that won't start?
- K
  Karen RogersAug 10, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the pump is properly plugged into a working outlet. Check the fuse and replace it with the correct size if it's blown. Low line voltage could also be the issue; inspect the wiring on the circuit and from the main switch, and contact your power company if needed. Other potential problems include a defective motor or float switch (in which case, replace the pump or switch), a clogged or jammed impeller (unplug the pump, remove the lower body, and clear any obstructions, replacing the impeller if necessary), or an obstructed float (move the pump or remove the obstruction).

What to do if Flotec Water Pump discharge from faucets is air or milky?
- N
  Nancy HardingAug 15, 2025
  If the water discharging from your faucets appears milky or contains air when using a Flotec Water Pump, it could be due to gas present in the well water. To address this, remove the bleeder orifices and plug the tees, ensuring that these plugs are completely sealed to prevent leaks. Another potential cause is a malfunctioning air volume control. If this is the case, replace the control as needed.

What to do if my Flotec FPSC2200A-10 delivers little water?
- A
  Andrea WilliamsAug 20, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump is running but not delivering enough water, several factors could be responsible. Check for low line voltage and inspect the wiring. If the voltage is below 110 volts, check the wiring from the main switch. If that's not the issue, contact your power company. Debris caught in the impeller can also cause this problem; remove the pump and clean the impeller. Other causes include worn or defective parts or a plugged impeller (clean or replace the impeller, or replace the pump), a check valve installed without a vent hole (drill a 1/8" hole between the pump discharge and the check valve), or a check valve installed backward (ensure the flow arrow points away from the pump).

Why won't my Flotec FPSC2200A-10 shut off?
- S
  Sarah McbrideAug 26, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump won't shut off, the problem might be a defective float switch, which requires replacement. Another cause could be a restricted discharge due to an obstacle or ice in the piping; unplug the pump, remove it from the sump, and clean the pump and piping. An obstructed float can also prevent the pump from shutting off; move the pump or remove the obstruction. Finally, a restricted intake screen could be the culprit; unplug the pump, remove it from the sump, and clean the intake screen and impeller.

How to stop my Flotec FPSC2200A-10 from cycling too often?

  Michelle MccannAug 30, 2025
  If your Flotec Water Pump starts and stops too frequently, it could be due to backflow of water from the piping. In this case, install or replace the check valve. Alternatively, a faulty float switch might be the cause, requiring replacement.
