How to fix insufficient pump capacity in my HALE Water Pump?
- DDouglas SawyerAug 13, 2025
To address insufficient pump capacity in your HALE Water Pump: * Ensure the engine has sufficient power; a check or tune-up might be needed. * Use a larger suction hose or shorten the existing one. * Remove any obstructions from the suction line strainer. * Replace any suction hose with a collapsed lining. * Ensure the relief valve is properly set and other bypass lines aren't reducing capacity. * Verify the truck transmission is in the correct range or gear. * Reduce lift and use a larger suction hose if lift is too high. * Replace any defective suction hose. * Clear any blockage at the suction hose entry. * If the pump is approaching cavitation, gate the discharge valves to increase pressure and reduce flow; also, reduce the throttle opening.
