What to do if my Stanley SXGP900XFE motor runs but doesn't suck in water?

If the Stanley Water Pump motor runs but doesn't suck water, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the pump body was filled with water before starting. If not, fill it. Check for airtight suction hose connections, using recommended accessories and Teflon tape on threads. Also, inspect the foot valve suction strainer for obstructions and clean if necessary. Make sure the suction points are open during priming to allow air to escape. If these steps don't work, fully fill the suction hose with water and wait up to 7 minutes. Reduce excessive suction lift (max. 8 m). Finally, check that the suction hose is immersed in water, and if necessary, lengthen the hose.
