If your Star Water Pump will not start or run, the issue might be a blown fuse. Have a qualified electrician check the circuit. Another possibility is that the thermal overload is open, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Station. Also, the float assembly might be bound, so check for debris around the float.
Why does Star S1108 Water Pump start and stop too often?
If your Star Water Pump starts and stops too often, it could be due to short cycling, which means there is no check valve in the discharge line preventing water from draining back into the pit. Refer to STEP 5 for installation of check valve. Another cause could be a defective float, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Station.
What to do if Star S1108 operates but delivers little or no water?
If your Star Water Pump operates but delivers little or no water, several issues could be the cause. The weep hole might be plugged, causing an air-lock, so clear the weep hole. There could also be an obstruction in the discharge line, which you should clear. Low voltage can also cause this problem, so have a qualified electrician check the circuit. The discharge line might be frozen, so clear it and protect it from freezing.
Why does my Star S1108 trip overload or blow a fuse?
Your Star Water Pump might be tripping the overload or blowing fuses due to incorrect voltage. In this case, have a qualified electrician check the circuit. Another potential cause is an impeller bound. If this is the case, contact an Authorized Service Station.
What to do if Star S1108 will not shut off?
If your Star Water Pump will not shut off, it could be due to debris under the float. Remove any debris as necessary. Alternatively, the switch might be defective. If that's the case, contact an Authorized Service Station.

This document describes the Crawl Space Pumping System, Model S1108, manufactured by Star Water Systems. It provides installation instructions, performance characteristics, troubleshooting guidance, and warranty information for the device.
The Crawl Space Pumping System is designed to manage water in crawl spaces by pumping it away. It is intended for use in areas where water accumulation is a concern, such as basements or crawl spaces, to prevent flooding and moisture-related issues. The system includes a pump, a basin (slotted or with an optional extension kit), and associated plumbing for discharge. It operates by collecting water in the basin and then activating the pump to discharge the water through a flexible hose to an appropriate drainage location. The system is designed for permanent installation and requires connection to a properly grounded electrical circuit.
