To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my Red Lion Water Pump lose prime?
Your Red Lion Water Pump might be losing prime because of air leaks in the suction line; inspect the suction line for these leaks. Another cause could be the well drawing down too far, so monitor the well draw down. A faulty foot valve could also be the reason; consider replacing it.
What to do if red lion RJS-100-PREM Water Pump is losing pressure or unable to prime in well point installations?
For well point installations where the Red Lion Water Pump is losing pressure or is unable to prime, have an electrician install a low pressure cut-off switch to shut down the pump prior to critical failure. Install or adjust a restrictor valve to offset available capacity. Add a larger tank (20 gallon or larger) for additional capacity.
Why does my Red Lion Water Pump start and stop too often?
Your Red Lion Water Pump might be starting and stopping too often due to several reasons. It could be a faulty air volume control, which needs replacement or repair. Air leaks in the tank above the water level could also be the cause, so check for those. The pressure switch might be incorrectly set, requiring adjustment. The tank could also be waterlogged or incorrectly charged, necessitating a recharge or assessment. Finally, a leaking or stuck-open foot valve could be the culprit, requiring inspection and repair.
What to do if my red lion RJS-100-PREM delivers water but not at rated capacity?
If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't delivering water at its rated capacity, several factors could be responsible. Check for leaks in the suction or discharge line and repair them. The foot valve, suction line, impeller, or nozzle might be partially plugged, so clear any blockages. Ensure the suction lift meets recommended levels. Verify the impeller rotation and speed are correct. Also, check if the venturi or diffuser is plugged and unplug it if necessary. Confirm the motor is wired for the proper voltage and that the line voltage at the motor is correct. Lastly, if a filtration cartridge is used, ensure it's correctly installed or needs changing.
How to fix a red lion RJS-100-PREM motor that will not start?
If your Red Lion Water Pump motor isn't starting, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check for blown fuses, open switches, or loose connections preventing power from reaching the pressure switch; replace any blown fuses, ensure switches are closed, and tighten connections. Another possibility is that the pump pressure switch isn't closed, so verify its position.
What to do if my Red Lion Water Pump fails to deliver water?
If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't delivering water, make sure the pump is completely primed. Also, the suction lift might be too great, and you may need to reduce it. Check that the foot valve is submerged, not buried in mud, and not plugged. Finally, make sure the restrictor valve is open.
