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 fix a Flotec Water Pump that won't shut off?
If your Flotec Water Pump won't shut off, the float switch may be defective and needs replacement. Another possible cause is 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. Lastly, a restricted intake screen could be the problem; unplug the pump, remove it from the sump, and clean the intake screen and impeller.
How to troubleshoot a Flotec FPSC2200A 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 Water Pump 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 FPSC2200A Water Pump won't start?
First, ensure the Flotec Water Pump is properly plugged into a functioning outlet. If it still doesn't start, check for a blown fuse or tripped breaker and replace or reset it after identifying and fixing the cause. Also, low line voltage could be the issue; inspect the wiring and contact your power company if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the problem, the motor or float switch may be defective and require replacement. Finally, a clogged or jammed impeller or an obstructed float can prevent the pump from starting. Unplug the pump and clear any obstructions or replace the impeller if needed.
What to do if my Flotec Water Pump runs but no water comes out?
If your Flotec Water Pump is running but not pumping water, first check for low line voltage. If it's below 110 volts, inspect the wiring from the main switch. If the wiring is adequate, contact your power company. Also, debris caught in the impeller, a worn or defective impeller, or a plugged impeller can cause this issue. Remove the pump and clean out any debris, clean the impeller if it’s plugged, or replace the impeller if necessary. Additionally, ensure the check valve has a vent hole and is installed correctly with the flow arrow pointing away from the pump. A restricted intake screen can also cause this problem, so remove the pump and clean the intake screen.
What to do if my Flotec FPSC2200A 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.
Why does my Flotec FPSC2200A Water Pump keep starting and stopping?
The frequent starting and stopping of your Flotec Water Pump could be due to the backflow of water from the piping. Consider installing or replacing the check valve to prevent this. Alternatively, a faulty float switch might be the cause, in which case, you should replace it.
