How to fix STA-RITE Water Pump failure to pump water?
- AAlex SmithAug 9, 2025
If your STA-RITE Water Pump is not pumping water, has reduced capacity, or the discharge pressure is low, start by checking for suction leaks and ensuring the pump volute and strainer basket are full of water. Inspect the suction piping for leaks and make sure the suction pipe inlet is well below the water level to prevent the pump from sucking air. Also, verify the strainer pot/basket isn't clogged. Clean it if necessary. Check the voltage at the motor terminals and at the meter while the pump is running. Low voltage may indicate an electrical issue. Inspect for loose electrical connections. If the pump is trying to push water too high, consider using a higher head pump.
