    Why is my STA-RITE Swimming Pool Pump not pumping or has reduced capacity?
    • L
      Laura DrakeJul 26, 2025
      Several factors can cause your STA-RITE Swimming Pool Pump to fail to pump or experience reduced capacity. It could be due to suction leaks, a clogged pipe, trap, or impeller, a worn impeller, electrical issues, or mechanical troubles. Ensure the pump is primed and the volute and trap are full. Check for suction leaks in the piping and ensure the suction pipe inlet is well below the water level. Also, inspect the suction trap gasket and replace it if defective. Make sure the suction trap is not clogged; if it is, clean the trap and strainer. Check the impeller for clogging.

      If your STA-RITE Swimming Pool Pump is running too slowly, it may be an electrical issue. Check the voltage at the motor terminals and at the meter while the pump is running. If the voltage is low, refer to the wiring instructions or consult your power company. Also, check for any loose connections and tighten them.

      If the suction lift of your STA-RITE Swimming Pool Pump is too high (15 to 25 feet reducing performance, or over 25 feet preventing pumping), move the pump closer (vertically) to the water source and ensure the suction pipe is adequately sized.

      Jeanne LeeAug 16, 2025
      To reduce mechanical noise in your STA-RITE Swimming Pool Pump, ensure the suction and discharge piping are adequately supported. Do not mount the pump on a wooden platform; securely mount it on a concrete platform for the quietest performance.
