  If your Ironton Water Pump does not start or run, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the cord is properly plugged in. * Verify there is power at the outlet. If not, turn off the pump and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker has tripped, ensure the circuit has the correct capacity for the pump and no other loads are on the same circuit. Then, reset the breaker. * Clean the plug prongs if they are corroded. * The motor may be overheated. Unplug the power and allow 10-30 minutes for the motor to cool down before plugging it back in and restarting the pump.

  Vicki RogersAug 14, 2025
  If the flow rate of your Ironton Water Pump is too low, consider the following: 1. Make sure the hose is straightened and not kinked or coiled. 2. Clean the strainer or remove any blockages in the hose. 3. Use a shorter discharge hose (50 ft. max). 4. Replace the suction or discharge hose with the correct size. 5. Replace the impeller if it is worn. 6. Check that the circuit has the right capacity for the pump and that the circuit has no other loads, in case of low line voltage.

  If your Ironton Water Pump doesn’t prime or retain prime, consider the following potential issues: * Check for air leaks in the suction line. Tighten the hose connection or replace the hose if necessary. * Remove any clogs from the impeller. * Replace the impeller if it is worn or damaged. * Prime the pump if the impeller is dry. * Lower the pump if the suction lift is too high. * Straighten the hose if it is kinked or coiled. * Submerge the hose end if the suction hose is out of the water. * Clean the strainer if it is clogged.
