Why is my Pentair Water Pump losing pressure?
- AAdam McclainAug 11, 2025
Loss of pressure in your Pentair Water Pump can stem from several causes: * A clogged suction strainer, which requires regular cleaning. * A kinked or blocked suction hose, which should be inspected and repaired. * An air leak in the inlet side plumbing; check the hose and connections, and use pipe joint sealant when retightening. * A relief valve setting that is too low or a weakened spring; check the relief valve and correct the setting or replace the spring. * Other potential issues include a faulty gauge (replace it), pump seals leaking air (replace the seals), worn nozzle orifices (replace the nozzles), or a worn pump (repair the pump).
