    What to do if my red lion RL-SWJ fails to deliver water?
    • G
      Gina MejiaAug 3, 2025
      If your Red Lion Water Pump isn't delivering water, it might not be fully primed, so fully prime the pump. The suction lift may be too great, so reduce it. Check the foot valve to ensure it is properly installed, not buried, submerged, or plugged. Also, make sure that the restrictor valve is open.

      If your Red Lion Water Pump loses prime, inspect the suction line for air leaks. Ensure the well isn't drawing down too far. Replace any faulty foot valve. Have an electrician install a low pressure cut-off switch to prevent critical failure. Install or adjust a restrictor valve to offset available capacity.

    What to do if my red lion RL-SWJ delivers water but not at rated capacity?

      Monica WadeAug 16, 2025
      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. Clear any partial plugs in the foot valve, suction line, impeller, or nozzle. Adjust the suction lift to recommended levels. Inspect and correct the impeller rotation and speed. Ensure the Venturi or diffuser isn't plugged. Verify the motor is wired for the correct voltage and check/correct the line voltage at the motor. If applicable, replace or properly install the filtration cartridge. Replace any faulty air volume control. Inspect for air leaks in the tank above the water level. Ensure that the pressure switch settings are correct. Finally, service the tank if it's waterlogged or incorrectly charged.

      If your Red Lion Water Pump motor won't start, check the power supply and connections for blown fuses, open switches, or loose connections. Also, ensure the pump pressure switch is properly closed.
