Why does my SHUR-DRI SD-520C-T7-01 keep running and not shut off?

  Mr. Gavin MillerAug 5, 2025
  If your SHUR-DRI Water Pump delivers water but doesn't shut off or cycles too frequently, there are several possible causes. First, the pressure switch may be out of adjustment or have welded contacts; in this case, disconnect power and adjust or replace the pressure switch. Ensure all faucets are closed. Check for clogs in the venturi, nozzle, or impeller and clean them if necessary. If you have a standard pressure tank, it may be waterlogged and lacking an air cushion; drain the tank to the air volume control port. Also, inspect pipes and foot valves for leaks and fix them. Finally, if you have a pre-charged tank, check the air pressure using a tire pressure gauge; if it's too low, pump air into the tank until it is 2 PSI less than the cut-in setting of the switch.

Why SHUR-DRI SD-520C-T7-01 Water Pump does not deliver water to full capacity?

  Gary DyerAug 10, 2025
  If your SHUR-DRI Water Pump isn't delivering water to its full capacity, the water level in the well might be lower than estimated, potentially requiring a new nozzle and venturi combination. If steel piping is used, corrosion or liming could be causing excess friction; replace it with plastic pipe where possible, or with new steel pipe. The piping may also be too small, requiring the use of larger piping.

How to fix SHUR-DRI Water Pump motor that will not run?

  Carol BaileyAug 15, 2025
  If the SHUR-DRI Water Pump motor won't run, first ensure the disconnect switch is on. If it is on, check the fuse and replace it if it's blown, or reset the circuit breaker if it's tripped. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the starting switch may be defective and need replacement, after disconnecting power. Also, examine the wires at the motor, ensuring they are correctly wired and tightly connected, after disconnecting power. Lastly, inspect the pressure switch contacts for dirt; if dirty, disconnect power and clean them with an emery board or nail file.

Why SHUR-DRI SD-520C-T7-01 motor runs hot and overload kicks off?
- D
  David RodriguezAug 20, 2025
  If the SHUR-DRI Water Pump motor runs hot and the overload kicks off, it could be due to incorrect wiring. Refer to the wiring instructions. Another cause might be low voltage; check with your power company. Lastly, the pump may be cycling too frequently; refer to the section on too frequent cycling.

Why is there air coming out of my SHUR-DRI SD-520C-T7-01 faucets?
- D
  deanna40Aug 30, 2025
  If you're experiencing air spurts from faucets with your SHUR-DRI Water Pump, it could be due to the pump picking up prime; when the pump has picked up prime, it should pump solid water with no air. Another cause could be a leak in the suction side of the pump; check joints for leaks with soapy water. The well may also be gaseous; consult factory about installing a sleeve in the well. Intermittent over-pumping of the well, where water is drawn down below the foot valve, can also cause this issue; lower the foot valve if possible, otherwise restrict pump discharge.

What to do if SHUR-DRI SD-520C-T7-01 Water Pump motor runs but no water is delivered?
- S
  Susan MarquezNov 24, 2025
  If the SHUR-DRI Water Pump motor runs but no water is delivered, especially in a new installation, ensure proper priming according to the instructions. Check all connections on the suction line, AVC, and ejector for air leaks using soapy water or shaving cream. Replace the foot valve or check valve if they are leaking. If the pump has lost prime, check all connections on the suction line and shaft seal for air leaks. Lower the suction line into the water and re-prime if the water level is below the suction pipe inlet. Clean the foot valve or strainer if they are plugged, as well as the ejector or impeller. Replace the check valve or foot valve if they are stuck shut. Thaw the pipes if they are frozen. Ensure the foot valve and/or strainer are not buried in sand or mud. If using a shallow w...
