    How to troubleshoot STA-RITE Power Pump that will not run?
    • W
      William WhiteJul 31, 2025
      To troubleshoot a STA-RITE Power Pump that won't run, first ensure the disconnect switch is ON and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, or the fuse hasn't blown. Then, disconnect the power and check that the wires connecting the motor to the power supply and pressure switch are tight and correctly connected. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it's recommended to call a well professional.

    Why does my STA-RITE Power Pump motor run hot and the overload trips?
    • P
      Patricia AdkinsAug 5, 2025
      If your STA-RITE Power Pump motor runs hot and the overload trips, follow these steps: First, refer to the electrical instructions to ensure the motor is correctly wired. Next, verify with your power company that the voltage at the pump is within +10% of the motor's rated voltage. Then, disconnect the power and make sure the wires connecting the motor to the power supply are appropriately sized. Rewire if necessary. Also, if the pump is cycling too frequently, further investigation is needed.

    What to do if STA-RITE Power Pump motor runs but no water is delivered?
    • G
      grubioAug 10, 2025
      If your STA-RITE Power Pump runs but doesn't deliver water, start by checking the prime to ensure the pump, suction piping, and well piping are full of water. If not, fill them. In cold weather, check for frozen pipes and thaw them carefully, watching for splits. Ensure to heat the pump pit or house and bury all piping below the frost line.

    Why does my STA-RITE Power Pump cycle too frequently or not shut off?
    • A
      Andrea TaylorAug 15, 2025
      If your STA-RITE Power Pump cycles too frequently or doesn't shut off, check that no faucets are left open. For systems with a standard tank, ensure it's not waterlogged; if it is, drain it to the level of the air volume control. Verify the AVC isn't defective and that there are no leaks. For precharged tanks, disconnect power, open faucets, and bleed tank pressure. Use a tire gauge to check air pressure, ensuring it's 2 PSI lower than the pressure switch's cut-in setting. Check the air valve for leaks and replace the core if needed. If you suspect leaky pipes, a leaky foot valve, a low water level in the well, or a clogged ejector/impeller, consult a well professional.

    What causes STA-RITE Power Pump not to deliver water to full capacity?
    • M
      Michael LoganAug 20, 2025
      If your STA-RITE Power Pump isn't delivering water to its full capacity, it could be due to several reasons. The well water level might be lower than estimated, necessitating a different nozzle/venturi combination. Also, steel piping could be corroded or limed, restricting capacity. The piping might also be too small for the installation. It is recommended to consult your well professional for any of these conditions.
