    Why ITT Water Pump is too noisy?
    • D
      Deborah WhitneyAug 11, 2025
      There are several reasons why your ITT Water Pump might be excessively noisy. It could be due to water return when the pump stops, so check the check valve. Another possibility is cavitation, in which case you should check the suction. Finally, the pump rotation might be hindered due to undue mechanical stress on the pump.

      If your ITT Water Pump is leaking water, it could be due to a defective mechanical seal, in which case you should replace the mechanical seal. Another potential cause is undue mechanical stress on the pump, so ensure you support the pipes.

    Why ITT Water Pump motor runs but no water is delivered?
    • W
      wreedAug 29, 2025
      If the motor of your ITT Water Pump is running, but no water is being delivered, consider the following: * Check if there's water on the suction side or inside the pump. Fill the pump or suction piping and open the on-off valves. * Air in the suction piping or pump could be the issue. Bleed the pump and check the suction connections. * A loss of pressure on the suction side might be the problem. Check the NPSH and modify the system if necessary. * The check valve may be jammed; clean the valve. * A clogged pipe could be obstructing water flow; clean the pipe. * For three-phase motors, incorrect rotation can cause this issue; change the direction of rotation.
