Why is my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD Water Pump so noisy or vibrating?
- W
  wandaellisAug 25, 2025
  If your ITT Water Pump is noisy or vibrates, several factors could be responsible. Start by realigning the pump and driver. Check the impeller for any clogs and back-flush the pump to clean it. Inspect the impeller and shaft for breaks or bends, replacing them if necessary. Ensure the foundation is rigid by tightening hold-down bolts and properly grouting the baseplate. Replace worn bearings. Properly anchor and support the suction or discharge piping. Finally, address cavitation by locating and correcting the system problem.

Why is my ITT Water Pump not producing enough flow or pressure?
- T
  Thomas AguilarAug 26, 2025
  If your ITT Water Pump isn't producing the rated flow or head, there are several potential causes. Begin by checking for air leaks in the gasket or O-ring and replace them if necessary. Inspect the stuffing box for air leaks and replace or readjust the mechanical seal. Back-flush the pump to clean a partly clogged impeller. Adjust the impeller clearance if it's excessive. Ensure the suction head is sufficient by fully opening the suction-line shutoff valve and clearing any obstructions. Finally, examine the impeller for wear or damage and replace if needed.

Why does my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD motor require so much power?
- T
  twallaceAug 27, 2025
  If your ITT Water Pump motor requires excessive power, several factors could be contributing. If the discharge head has dropped below the rated point, install a throttle valve. If that doesn't resolve the issue, consider trimming the impeller diameter. Check the specific gravity and viscosity of the liquid, as a heavier liquid requires more power. Ensure the stuffing-box packing isn't too tight; readjust or replace it if worn. Inspect rotating parts for rubbing and ensure proper clearances. Adjust the impeller clearance if it's too tight.

Why are the bearings on my ITT Water Pump running so hot?
- H
  Haley AdamsAug 27, 2025
  If the bearings in your ITT Water Pump are running hot, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the pump and driver are properly aligned; if not, realign them. Check the lubricant for suitability and level, ensuring there is sufficient lubrication. Also, verify that the lubrication system is cooling properly.

How to fix excessive leaking in the stuffing box of my ITT Water Pump?
- J
  Joshua LynchSep 12, 2025
  If the stuffing box of your ITT Water Pump is leaking excessively, start by tightening the gland nuts, as the packing gland may not be adjusted properly. Check the packing itself and repack the box if it's not packed properly. If the mechanical seal parts are worn, replace them. Also, ensure the mechanical seal is not overheating by checking the lubrication and cooling lines. Finally, inspect the shaft or shaft sleeve for scoring and machine or replace the shaft sleeve as necessary.

Why are the bearings on my ITT Water Pump running hot?
- K
  Kyle HuntSep 10, 2025
  If the bearings on your ITT Water Pump are running hot, it could be due to a few reasons. The pump and driver might not be aligned properly, so realign them. Check the lubricant for suitability and level to ensure there is sufficient lubrication. Also, verify that the lubrication is being cooled properly by checking the cooling system.

What causes horizontal alignment issues in ITT Goulds Pumps XHD?
- T
  Theresa PearsonSep 12, 2025
  If horizontal (side-to-side) alignment cannot be obtained (angular or parallel) in your ITT Water Pump, it may be because the driver feet are bolt-bound. Loosen the pump's hold-down bolts, and slide the pump and driver until you achieve horizontal alignment. Another cause could be that the baseplate is not leveled properly and is probably twisted. Determine which corners of the base- plate are high or low. Remove or add shims at the appropri- ate corners. Realign the pump and driver.

Why are there no LEDs flashing on my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD Water Pump condition monitor?
- M
  Maria DaySep 4, 2025
  If there are no green or red flashing LEDs on your ITT Water Pump, the battery may be dead, requiring you to replace the condition monitor. The unit could also be deactivated, in which case you should activate the condition monitor.

What causes excessive runout for the bearing-frame flange on my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD?
- J
  jacksonchristopherSep 2, 2025
  If the runout for the bearing-frame flange on your ITT Water Pump is excessive, it could be caused by a bent shaft, which would require replacing the shaft. Another possibility is that the flange of the bearing frame is distorted, in which case you should replace the bearing-frame flange.

What causes excessive runout for the seal-chamber cover on my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD?
- J
  Jennifer ThompsonSep 3, 2025
  If the runout for the seal-chamber cover on your ITT Water Pump is excessive, it could be because the seal-chamber cover is improperly seated on the frame, requiring replacement or re-machining. Alternatively, there may be corrosion or wear on the seal-chamber cover, in which case it should be replaced.
