    Why is my Sulzer Water Pump switching on and off intermittently?
    • S
      Sue GuerraAug 7, 2025
      Your Sulzer Water Pump might be intermittently switching on and off due to several reasons: * The temperature sensor could be shutting down the pump. The motor will restart automatically once the pump cools down. * There may be an impeller blockage, so check the impeller. * Check thermal relay settings in the control panel.

      If your Sulzer Water Pump isn't operating, here are a few potential causes and solutions: * **Leakage sensor shutdown:** Check for a loose or damaged oil plug, or locate and replace a faulty mechanical seal or damaged o-rings. * **Air lock in volute:** Shake or raise and lower the pump repeatedly until air bubbles no longer appear at the surface. * **Level control override:** Check for a float switch that is faulty or tangled and held in the OFF position in the sump. * **Impeller jammed:** Inspect and remove any jammed objects. Check the gap between the impeller and the bottom plate, and adjust if necessary. * **Gate valve closed or non-return valve blocked:** Open the gate valve and clean any blockage from the non-return valve.
