How to fix ITT Goulds Pumps XHD Water Pump that is not delivering liquid?
- D
  Denise WilliamsSep 5, 2025
  If your ITT Water Pump isn't delivering liquid, several issues could be the cause. First, the pump might not be primed; re-prime it, ensuring the pump and suction line are full of liquid. Check for clogs in the suction line and remove any obstructions. The impeller could also be clogged; back-flush the pump to clean it. Ensure the shaft rotates in the correct direction, matching the arrow on the bearing housing or pump casing. Also, verify that the foot valve or suction pipe opening is submerged adequately, consulting an ITT representative for the correct depth and using a baffle to eliminate vortices. Lastly, the suction lift might be too high; shorten the suction pipe to correct this.

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.

What causes excessive shaft end play in my ITT Water Pump?
- M
  Miranda AcostaAug 29, 2025
  If there is excessive shaft end play in your ITT Water Pump, it could be due to several reasons. The internal clearance of the bearings might be too large, so replace the bearings with the correct type. Check if the thrust-bearing end cover is loose and tighten the screws. Also, ensure there aren't too many shims under the thrust bearing end cover, and remove individual shims to achieve the proper thickness.

What to do if my ITT Goulds Pumps XHD Water Pump starts and then stops pumping?
- A
  Ashley HumphreyAug 28, 2025
  If your ITT Water Pump starts and then stops pumping, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the pump is primed and the pump and suction line are full of liquid by re-priming it. Check the suction line for air or vapor pockets and rearrange the piping to eliminate them. Also, inspect the suction line for any air leaks and repair them.

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.

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.
