    What to do if the power consumption of LEYBOLD Water Pump motor is too high?
    • A
      andersonseanAug 9, 2025
      If the motor's power consumption is too high on your LEYBOLD Water Pump, first refer to the troubleshooting steps for a pump that gets too hot. Also, ensure that the motor is connected to the correct voltage supply. If the issue persists, the motor stator or rotor might be malfunctioning, requiring Leybold service.

    Why is my LEYBOLD Water Pump so noisy?

      If the LEYBOLD Water Pump is too noisy, it could be due to several reasons. The clearance between the casing and impellers might be too small because of contamination or distortion of the pump; in this case, clean the pumping chamber. Alternatively, damaged bearings or gearing could be the cause, so ensure that the feet and connecting lines aren’t placing a strain on the pump. If the impellers strike the casing, the motor rotor runs out of true, or the centrifugal disc lubricator strikes the gear lid or oil tube, immediately switch off the pump and contact Leybold service. Lastly, if the oil pump is obstructed or malfunctioning, consult Leybold service.

    How to troubleshoot low pumping speed on LEYBOLD Water Pump?
    • M
      Mary RiosAug 18, 2025
      If the LEYBOLD Water Pump's pumping speed is too low, start by checking if the dirt trap in the intake flange is clogged and clean it if necessary. Also, verify that the motor is connected correctly. If the issue persists, the pump or pump system may have a leak, which you should find and seal. Additionally, if the valve of the pressure balance line does not close, clean or repair the valve. For other potential causes such as clearance of impellers is too large or bearing is malfunctioning, consult Leybold service.

      If the LEYBOLD Water Pump does not start, ensure that the motor is connected correctly. For other potential causes consult Leybold service. You may also need to replace the pressure switch, change the lubricant, or warm the lubricant and the pump.

    Why is my LEYBOLD Water Pump leaking lubricant?
    • S
      Sarah WestAug 27, 2025
      If the LEYBOLD Water Pump loses lubricant, and a lubricant leak is visible, check if the oil-drain plug is not tight. If it isn't, drain the lubricant, firmly screw in the oil-drain plug with a new gasket, and fill in the correct quantity. If the oil-level glass is not tight, or there is an oil puddle under the motor due to a leaky can, contact Leybold service immediately and switch off the pump. If the gearbox is not tight, replace the O-ring of the gearbox cover. For other potential causes refer to fault 'Lubricant in the pumping chamber'.

    What causes lubricant in the pumping chamber of my LEYBOLD Water Pump?
    • K
      Kimberly VargasAug 31, 2025
      If there is lubricant in the pumping chamber of your LEYBOLD Water Pump, it could be due to several reasons. The lubricant level might be too high, so drain lubricant to reach the correct oil level. The lubricant may be leaking out of the system, so check the system for leaks. Ensure that the pump is installed on a flat horizontal surface. Also, check the proper fit of oil-fill and oil-drain plugs, and replace gaskets if necessary. If the pump has an internal leak, replace the O-ring of the gearbox cover. For malfunctioning impeller rings, consult Leybold service.

    Why does my LEYBOLD Water Pump get too hot?

      If the LEYBOLD Water Pump gets too hot, it may be due to several reasons. The ambient temperature might be too high, or the cooling air supply could be restricted; in this case, install the pump at a more suitable site or ensure sufficient cooling air. The pump may be working in the wrong pressure range, or the pressure differential may be too great, so check the pressure values of the vacuum system. High gas temperature can also cause overheating, so inspect the vacuum system. Contamination or distortion of the pump can reduce the clearance between the casing and impellers, requiring you to clean the pumping chamber. Excessive friction from contaminated bearings or lubricant can be a factor, so ensure the pump's feet and connecting lines aren’t strained. Finally, incorrect lubricant level...
