How to fix a STA-RITE Water Pump motor that won't start?
- J
  Justin MillsAug 11, 2025
  If your STA-RITE Water Pump motor isn't running, start by checking if the disconnect switch is on. Then, see if a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker has tripped and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. Also, the starting switch might be defective, in this case disconnect the power and replace the starting switch. Loose, disconnected, or incorrectly wired wires at the motor could also be the cause; disconnect the power and check and tighten all wiring. Lastly, dirty pressure switch contacts can prevent the motor from running; disconnect the power and file the contacts with an emery board or nail file.

Why am I getting air spurts from the faucets with my STA-RITE Water Pump?
- S
  Sandra AdkinsAug 22, 2025
  If you're experiencing air spurts from your faucets with your STA-RITE Water Pump, it could be due to several reasons. The pump might be picking up prime; when it has picked up prime, it should pump solid water with no air. There could be a leak in the suction side of the pump; check joints for leaks with soapy water. The well itself might be gaseous; consult the factory about installing a sleeve in the well. Or, intermittent over-pumping of the well might be occurring, where water is drawn down below the foot valve; lower the foot valve if possible, otherwise restrict pump discharge.

Why is my STA-RITE MSE-6 not delivering water to full capacity?
- A
  Amy BryantAug 27, 2025
  If your STA-RITE Water Pump isn't delivering water to its full capacity, it could be because the water level in the well is lower than estimated; a deep well jet may be needed if your well depth to water is more than 25’ (7.6M). If you're using steel piping, it might be corroded or limed, causing excess friction; replace it with plastic pipe where possible, or with new steel pipe. Also, the offset piping might be too small in size; use larger offset piping.

Why does my STA-RITE MSE-6 motor run hot and the overload keeps tripping?
- Y
  yvargasAug 31, 2025
  If your STA-RITE Water Pump motor runs hot and the overload kicks off, it could be due to a few reasons. The motor might be wired incorrectly; refer to the wiring instructions. The voltage could be too low; check with the power company. Also, the pump might be cycling too frequently; see the section on too frequent cycling.
