If your Liberty Pumps Water Pump isn't starting and water isn't evacuating, the power supply might be off, or the thermal overload has cut out. First, check the electrical supply. Then, wait approximately 20 minutes for the thermal overload to re-engage.
Why does my Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor hum but not turn?
If your Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor hums but doesn't turn and the water doesn't evacuate, a foreign body may be blocking the macerating blades or the pump. Remove the cover and clean around the macerating blade. Also, ensure that the discharge and vent piping are not blocked.
Why does Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 Water Pump motor start and stop indefinitely?
If, after evacuation, the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor starts, stops, and re-engages indefinitely, there may be a water leak from the toilet tank into the bowl or a faulty non-return check valve. Check the flush valve and clean the non-return check valve.
How to fix slow water evacuation in Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1?
If the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor turns normally, but the water evacuates slowly from the bowl resulting in an incomplete flush, the discharge pipe may be blocked, or the valve is not vented properly. Clean the discharge and vent piping.
What causes water to back up into the shower tray with Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 Water Pump?
If water backs up into the shower tray or bathtub when using your Liberty Pumps Water Pump, it could be due to inadequate gravity-fall into the macerating unit, a blockage in the drain piping, or a faulty inlet control flap. Ensure a minimum of 1/4" per foot gravity fall into the macerating pump unit from other sanitary fixtures and clean out the flap.
Why does the Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 Water Pump motor run for a long time?
If the water evacuates from the toilet but the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor runs for a very long time and the thermal overload activates, there may be a kinked or blocked discharge pipe, a damaged membrane, a defective impeller, or a partially blocked pump. Check the installation and inspect inside the macerating pump unit.
How to fix a Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 motor that turns noisily?
If the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor turns noisily without stopping or pumping, it could be due to siphonage or insufficient back pressure in the discharge pipe, causing an air-lock, or a foreign object. Modify the discharge pipe run to eliminate siphonage and/or increase backpressure by reducing pipe size. Remove any foreign objects.
Why does the Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 motor engage repeatedly after flushing?
If the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor engages several times in succession after evacuation before stopping completely, water may be siphoning back into the macerating pump unit because the check valve is not functioning correctly. Flush once or twice with clean water to clear the valve, or remove the valve to clean or replace it.
What causes waste build up in the bowl of a Liberty Pumps Ascent ASC-1 Water Pump?
If waste builds up in the bowl of your Liberty Pumps Water Pump, it may be due to an inadequate water supply from the water closet. Check and/or adjust the water level in the toilet tank.
Why does my Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor make a rattling noise?
If the Liberty Pumps Water Pump motor turns with a rattling noise, a solid item may have fallen into the grill of the macerating pump unit. Clear the object from the grill area.
