  Aaron RandallAug 17, 2025
  If the motor of your Franklin Electric Water Pump overheats, it could be due to improper voltage or loose wiring connections. Verify that the voltage matches what's indicated on the motor's data plate. Also, ensure all wiring connections are secure. Another cause might be improper ventilation. Check to see if the motor is clean and properly vented.

  If your Franklin Electric Water Pump has low pressure, it may be caused by several factors. The motor might not be running at the correct speed; check for proper voltage and ensure all wiring connections are tight. Alternatively, the impeller or injector nozzle could be partially blocked; inspect them for any rocks or debris. Finally, air could be leaking into the suction line; examine all suction line connections.

Why is my Franklin Electric FVJ15CI Water Pump losing pressure when no water is being used?
- N
  Nathan HollandAug 29, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of pressure in your Franklin Electric Water Pump system when no water is being used, it could be due to leaks in the piping or valves; check all connections. It is also possible that there is gas in the water, in which case you should call your Franklin Electric dealer. Another potential cause is that the water level drops below the end of the pipe. If this is the case, the pump is out-producing the well. Close down control valve gradually until pump starts operating properly.

Why is my Franklin Electric Water Pump having low capacity?
- T
  thomasmadisonSep 2, 2025
  If your Franklin Electric Water Pump has low capacity, it might be because your water level is deeper than 25 feet; this pump can't pump below that depth, and you should call your Franklin Electric dealer. Another reason could be that you are using too long a pipe from the water to the pump; use a larger diameter pipe in this case. Also, a plugged impeller or injector nozzle, or a partially blocked pipe from the pump to the water, could be the cause; check these components.

What causes gravelly noises (cavitation) in my Franklin Electric FVJ15CI?
- L
  Lisa ZavalaSep 5, 2025
  If you hear gravelly noises inside your Franklin Electric Water Pump, also known as cavitation, it could be because the water level is below 25 feet, in which case you should call your Franklin Electric dealer. Alternatively, the suction pipe might be too small, or the length of the pipe might be too long; use a larger diameter pipe. Finally, the end of the suction pipe could be in mud or sand; raise the end of the suction pipe, or clean out the well.

What causes air logging (excessive air in pipe) in my Franklin Electric Water Pump?
- M
  Matthew ChanSep 9, 2025
  Air logging, or excessive air in the pipe, within your Franklin Electric Water Pump system can be caused by air leaks in the pipe; check all connections. It is also possible that there is gas in the water, in which case you should call your Franklin Electric dealer. Another potential cause is that the water drops below the end of the pipe. If this is the case, the pump is out-producing well. Tighten down control valve gradually until pump starts operating properly.
