Why won't my Flotec FPSE4500A Water Pump shut off?
If your Flotec Water Pump will not shut off, check the switch or controller automatic floats for proper operation and location. Refer to the installation instructions for the switch/controller for guidance.
What to do if my Flotec FPSE4500A fails to operate?
If your Flotec Water Pump fails to operate, there are several things you can check: * Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the switch and the switch into the outlet. Remember to disconnect power before handling the pump or motor. * Verify you have electrical power. * Confirm the liquid level is sufficient to activate the switch or controller. * Make sure the 3/16" (4.7 mm) vent hole in the discharge pipe isn't blocked. * Inspect the pump inlet, impeller, check valve, and discharge pipe for blockages. * The thermal overload may have tripped. Test start the pump; if it starts and stops, disconnect it from the power source for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool, then reconnect. Investigate the cause of overheating/overloading.
What to do if my Flotec FPSE4500A Water Pump fails to empty the tank?
If your Flotec Water Pump won't empty the tank, try the following: 1. Ensure all valves in the discharge pipe are fully open. 2. Clean out the discharge pipe and check valve. 3. Check for any blockages in the pump inlet or impeller. 4. Make sure the discharge lift isn't too high; lower the highest point in the discharge pipe if necessary.
