If your STA-RITE Water Pump isn't priming due to too much air, check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Ensure the pump strainer pot lid is secure and the lid gasket is in place. Also, verify the water level to ensure the skimmer isn't drawing in air.
What to do if STA-RITE Water Pump has air in the suction line?
If your STA-RITE Water Pump has reduced capacity and/or head due to air pockets or leaks in the suction line, check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Ensure the lid on the pump strainer pot is secure and the lid gasket is in place. Also, check the water level to ensure the skimmer is not drawing in air.
What to do if STA-RITE Supermax Water Pump is not priming with enough water?
If your STA-RITE Water Pump isn't priming because there's not enough water, make sure the suction lines, pump strainer, and pump volute are full of water. Ensure the valve on the suction line is working and open. Check the water level to make sure water is available through the skimmer. Clean the pump strainer pot.
Why is my STA-RITE Water Pump losing pressure?
Your STA-RITE Water Pump might be experiencing reduced capacity due to a few reasons. There could be air pockets or leaks in the suction line; in this case, check the suction piping and valve glands on any suction gate valves. Another possibility is a clogged impeller. Also, check if the pump strainer is clogged and clean the suction trap.
How to clean a clogged STA-RITE Supermax impeller?
To resolve a clogged impeller in your STA-RITE Water Pump, first, turn off the electrical power. Then, remove the clamp holding the volute to the seal plate and slide the motor and seal plate away from the volute. Remove debris from the impeller. If the debris is difficult to remove, take these steps: remove the left-hand thread anti-spin bolt and O-ring, remove, clean, and reinstall the impeller, and reinstall the anti-spin bolt. Reinstall the diffuser and quad ring. Reinstall the motor and seal plate into the volute. Securely tighten the clamp around the seal plate and volute.
