How to fix an LMI Water Pump when the motor won't operate?
- M
  Michael WatsonAug 13, 2025
  If the LMI Water Pump motor won't operate, there are several potential causes and solutions: * Low process liquid level: Add liquid. * Worn or dirty check valves: Clean or replace them. * Blocked discharge line: Clear the line. * Frozen liquid: Thaw the liquid throughout the pumping system. * Blown fuse: Replace the fuse. * Open thermal overload device in motor starter: Reset the device. * Broken wire: Locate and repair. * Low voltage: Investigate and correct, as wiring may be too tight. * Pump not primed: Allow suction line and pump head to fill with liquid before pumping against pressure. * Capacity adjustment set at zero: Readjust capacity.

Why is my LMI G Series not delivering enough?
- M
  Michael VelasquezAug 17, 2025
  Insufficient pump delivery in your LMI Water Pump could stem from: * Incorrect capacity adjustment: Readjust the capacity setting. * Incorrect pump speed: Match the line voltage and frequency to the pump motor data plate. * Starved suction: Increase piping size or suction head. * Leaky suction piping: Repair the piping. * High suction lift: Rearrange equipment to decrease lift and/or install a foot valve in the suction line. * Liquid near boiling: Cool the liquid or increase the suction head. * Leaky safety valve in the discharge line: Repair or replace the valve. * High liquid viscosity: Reduce viscosity or consult the factory for special check valve options. * Worn or dirty check valve seats: Clean or replace them.

Why are the motor and pump body of my LMI G Series Water Pump hot?
- P
  Pamela SmithAug 25, 2025
  The motor and pump body of the LMI Water Pump might be hot due to several reasons: * Normal operating temperature: The normal operating temperature of both motor and pump body is frequently uncomfortable to the touch. However, neither should exceed 200°F (93°C). * Power supply mismatch: Ensure proper matching of power supply and motor. * Overrated performance: Reduce pressure or stroke speed. If this is not practical, contact service facility. * Improper lubrication: Drain oil and refill with proper amount of recommended lubricant.
