TROUBLESHOOTING
Vibration induced by driving can loosen
plumbing, strainers and pump hard-
ware. Check for system components
that are loose. Also, refer to the chart
below for trouble-shooting tips.
PUMP WILL NOT START/ BLOWS
CIRCUIT
√ Electrical connections, fuse or
breaker, main switch, and ground
connection.
√ Is the motor hot? Thermal breaker
may have triggered; it will reset
when cool.
√ Is voltage present at the switch?
Bypass pressure sw. Does the pump
operate?
√ Charging System for correct voltage
(±10%) and good ground.
√ For an open or grounded circuit, or
motor; or improperly sized wire.
√ For seized or locked diaphragm as-
sembly (water frozen?).
WILL NOT PRIME/SPUTTERS
(No discharge/Motor runs)
√ Is the strainer clogged with debris?
√ Is there water in the tank, or has air
collected in the hot water heater?
√ Is the inlet tubing/plumbing suck-
ing in air at plumbing connections
(vacuum leak)?
√ Is inlet/outlet plumbing severely
restricted or kinked? Restrictive
valves?
√ Proper voltage with the pump oper-
ating (±10%).
√ For debris in pump inlet/outlet
valves or swollen/dry valves.
√ Pump housing for cracks or loose
drive assembly screws.
RAPID CYCLING
√ For restrictive plumbing and flow
restrictions in faucets/shower
heads.
√ Water filter/purifier should be on
separate feed line.
√ Shut-off pressure set too low.
PUMP WILL NOT SHUT-OFF / RUNS
WHEN NOZZLE IS CLOSED
√ Output side (pressure) plumbing for
leaks, and inspect for leaky valves
or toilet.
√ For air trapped in outlet side (water
heater) or pump head.
√ For correct voltage to pump (±10%).
√ For loose drive assembly or pump
head screws.
√ Are the valves held open by debris
or is the rubber swollen?
√ Pressure switch operation. By-pass
set higher than shut-off.
NOISY OR ROUGH OPERATION
√ For plumbing which may have
vibrated loose.
√ For a restricted inlet (clogged
strainer, kinked hose, restrictive
valves).
√ Is the pump plumbed with rigid pipe
causing noise to transmit?
√ Does the mounting surface amplify
noise (flexible)? Does it bang like a
drum?
√ For mounting feet that are loose or
are compressed too tight.
√ For air in the system. Check all
fixtures for air and bleed system.
√ The motor with pump head re-
moved. Is noise from motor or
pump head?
LEAKS FROM PUMP HEAD OR SWITCH
√ For loose screws at switch or pump
head.
√ Switch diaphragm ruptured or
pinched.
√ For punctured diaphragm if water is
present in drive assembly.
