How to troubleshoot a STA-RITE IntelliPro Variable Speed Water Pump failure?
- HhadkinsAug 4, 2025
If your STA-RITE Water Pump experiences a failure, there might be an air leak in the suction. Inspect the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Make sure the lid on the pump strainer pot is secure and the lid gasket is in place. Check the water level to ensure the skimmer isn't drawing air. Confirm that the suction lines, pump, strainer, and pump volute are full of water. Increase the prime sensitivity setting (the default is 1%). Clean the pump strainer pot and replace the gasket if needed. The cause might also be that there is not enough water.
