What to do if my Pentair WHISPERFLOXF VS fails to start?
If your Pentair Water Pump fails to start, there are several potential causes: * **Main voltage is not present:** Replace the fuse or reset the breaker/GFCI. Also, tighten the main wire connections. * **Pump shaft is locked:** Check if the pump can be rotated by hand and remove any blockage. * **Pump shaft is damaged:** In this case, the pump needs to be replaced.
What to do if my Pentair WHISPERFLOXF VS Water Pump has inadequate circulation?
Inadequate circulation in your Pentair Water Pump can stem from: * **Dirty filter or pump basket:** Check the pump strainer basket and clean it if clogged. Also, inspect and clean the pool filter. * **Suction/discharge piping is too small:** Increase the piping size. * **Speed is set too slow:** Increase the filtration run time.
What to do if my Pentair WHISPERFLOXF VS Water Pump runs then stops?
If your Pentair Water Pump runs and then stops, consider the following causes: * **“0004” over-temperature alarm:** Check that the back of the pump is free from dirt and debris. Use compressed air to clean it. * **“0017” over-current alarm:** Inspect the drive to motor connection terminals.
Why Pentair WHISPERFLOXF VS has reduced capacity and/or head?
Reduced capacity and/or head in your Pentair Water Pump can be due to: * **Air pockets or leaks in suction line:** Check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Secure the lid on the pump strainer pot and be sure the lid gasket is in place. Check the water level to be sure the skimmer is not drawing air. * **Clogged impeller:** Turn off electrical power to the pump, disassemble, and clean debris from the impeller. If debris cannot be removed: remove the left hand thread anti-spin bolt and O-Ring, remove, clean, and reinstall impeller, and reassemble. * **Pump strainer basket clogged:** Clean the suction trap and pump strainer basket.
