  Bradley PetersonAug 9, 2025
  If your GORMAN-RUPP PUMPS Water Pump stops or fails to deliver the expected flow or pressure, it could be due to several reasons. An air leak in the suction line might be the cause, so you should correct any leaks. Other possible solutions include replacing the suction hose, checking the pump vacuum, replacing any leaking or worn seals or gaskets, and cleaning the strainer. Also, ensure the installation has proper submergence, replace any worn or damaged parts, check that the impeller is centered and rotates freely, and remove any debris from the impeller. Consider installing a bypass line, measuring lift with a vacuum gauge, and reducing lift or friction losses in the suction line. Finally, check the engine output.

  If your GORMAN-RUPP PUMPS Water Pump is making excessive noise, try reducing the suction lift or friction losses in the suction line. You can also record vacuum and pressure gauge readings and consult a local representative or the factory. Locate and eliminate any sources of air bubbles, secure the mounting hardware, and clean out any debris, replacing damaged parts as needed.
