How to fix ITT Goulds Pumps XHD Water Pump that is not delivering liquid?
- DDenise 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.
