Why is my Pulsafeeder Water Pump motor running hot?

It's normal for motors to feel hot, even when not overloading, so first check the motor amp draw to be sure. If it is indeed overheating, consider the following: * The discharge pressure may be too high; lower the pressure and check the pressure relief valve setting and for defective discharge pressure gauge. * The liquid viscosity might be higher than expected; thin the liquid or install a larger motor. * The rotational speed could be too high; reduce the speed. * There might be binding internal pump parts; inspect and correct the condition. * The motor could be wired incorrectly; check the wiring diagram.
