    What to do if my red lion RL-SP25T runs but does not discharge liquid?
    • D
      David RileyAug 16, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump runs but doesn't discharge liquid, first check the check valve to ensure it's installed correctly, with the flow indicating arrow pointing in the right direction. Also, inspect the check valve for any blockages or if it's stuck. Make sure that the pump lift isn't too high for the pump's capacity. Additionally, inspect the impeller inlet for any blockages and clean it if necessary. Finally, ensure the air relief hole isn't missing or clogged; if missing, refer to the installation instructions for drilling; if clogged, clear the obstruction.

    What to do if my Red Lion Water Pump will not shut off?

      If your Red Lion Water Pump won't shut off, start by checking the float path for any obstructions and ensure it has adequate clearance. Check if the pump is air locked due to a missing or clogged air relief hole; if missing, drill one as described in the “Physical Installation” section; if clogged, clear the obstruction. If the liquid inflow matches the pump's capacity, a larger pump might be necessary. Lastly, a defective switch could also be the culprit, requiring replacement.

    Why my red lion RL-SP25T Water Pump cycles continuously?
    • L
      Leah FinleyAug 22, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump cycles continuously, consider these potential causes: There might be no check valve in a long discharge pipe, which allows liquid to drain back into the basin; in this case, install a check valve in the discharge line. A leaking check valve can also cause continuous cycling, so inspect it for correct operation. Finally, if the basin is too small for the inflow, you may need to install a larger basin.

    How to troubleshoot a Red Lion Water Pump that does not deliver rated capacity?
    • D
      Donna HunterAug 26, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, start by checking if the lift is too high for the pump; refer to the pump's performance ratings. Also, verify that the supply voltage matches the nameplate rating, as low voltage can slow the pump's speed. Inspect the impeller and discharge pipe for clogs, cleaning them if necessary, and check the pipe for scale or corrosion. Lastly, impeller wear due to abrasives can reduce capacity, potentially requiring pump replacement.

    Why my Red Lion Water Pump does not turn on?
    • B
      banksmoniqueAug 28, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't turning on, start by ensuring it's properly connected to a power source, ideally a dedicated circuit with GFCI. Then, check the circuit breaker or fuse and replace it if necessary. For models with a tethered float switch, make sure the float is clean and free from obstructions. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the switch may be defective and need replacement, or in the worst case, the motor might be defective, requiring pump replacement.

    What to do if my Red Lion Water Pump does not turn on?
    • R
      Roberta WilliamsAug 31, 2025
      The Red Lion Water Pump may not turn on due to several reasons. First, ensure the pump is properly connected to a dedicated circuit equipped with GFCI. Check if the circuit breaker is off or the fuse is removed, and if so, turn on the breaker or replace the fuse. Also, check the float for any trash accumulation and clean it, or any obstructions, providing necessary clearance. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the switch may be defective, requiring replacement. In the worst case, the motor might be defective, necessitating pump replacement.

    Why is my red lion RL-SP25T not delivering rated capacity?
    • M
      Melissa WoodSep 6, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, there are several possible causes. The lift might be too high for the pump, so check the rated pump performance. Low voltage could be slowing the pump down, so verify that the supply voltage matches the nameplate rating. A clogged impeller or discharge pipe could also be the issue; pull the pump and clean it, and check the pipe for scale or corrosion. Finally, impeller wear due to abrasives can reduce capacity, potentially requiring pump replacement.

    What to do if Red Lion Water Pump runs but does not discharge liquid?
    • M
      Miss Chelsea RobinsonSep 9, 2025
      If the Red Lion Water Pump runs but doesn't discharge liquid, start by checking the check valve to ensure it's not installed backwards; the flow-indicating arrow on the valve body should indicate proper installation. Also, the check valve might be stuck or plugged, so remove it and inspect for proper operation. The lift might be too high for the pump, so check the rated pump performance. The inlet to the impeller could be plugged, requiring you to pull the pump and clean it. Lastly, the pump could be air locked, in which case you should remove the pump and clean the air bleed hole.

    Why does my Red Lion Water Pump cycle continuously?
    • C
      Carolyn JonesSep 12, 2025
      A Red Lion Water Pump that cycles continuously may have a few potential causes. If there's no check valve in a long discharge pipe, liquid might be draining back into the basin, so install a check valve. If a check valve is already present, inspect it for leaks to ensure correct operation. The basin might be too small for the inflow, requiring installation of a larger basin.
