What to do if Summit Water Pump flow rate is below expected capacity?
- SSarah BlackAug 13, 2025
If your Summit Water Pump's flow rate is lower than expected, consider the following potential causes: insufficient Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA), the pump running dry, air leaking into the pump, liquid temperature or viscosity being higher than stated, the pump running too fast for the application, abrasives in the liquid, losses in the system exceeding calculations, suction or differential pressure being too high, or the suction or discharge valve not being fully open. Addressing these factors may help restore the pump's flow rate.
