How to troubleshoot a Tuthill Water Pump that won't prime?
- J
  Joseph JenkinsAug 14, 2025
  If your Tuthill Water Pump won’t prime, several issues could be the cause. First, check the suction line for any leaks or restrictions. Also, inspect the bypass valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. Examine the vanes and rotor slots for any nicks, burrs, or wear. Inspect the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage, and replace them if necessary. If you are using an automatic nozzle, remove it to prime the pump. Finally, check the filter and bypass valve for debris and remove the nozzle to test the flow with the pump on.

  higginsdanielAug 17, 2025
  If your Tuthill Water Pump has low capacity, start by removing and cleaning the screen to eliminate excessive dirt. Check the suction line for leaks or restrictions. Inspect the bypass valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. Check the pump outlet hose, nozzle, and filter for any blockages. Inspect the vanes and rotor slots for wear, and replace them if necessary. Check the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage, and replace if needed. Replace any damaged hoses or nozzles, preferably with UL-rated ones. Replace the filter if it's plugged. Finally, ensure the fluid level is adequate and fill the tank if it's low.

Why does the Tuthill FILL-RITE H Water Pump motor stall and blow fuses?
- A
  Ashley GreenAug 21, 2025
  If the motor of your Tuthill Water Pump stalls, the fuse blows, or the thermal protector trips repeatedly, start by inspecting the bypass valve to ensure it moves freely and is free of debris. Check the incoming supply line voltage to rule out low voltage. Examine the rotor and vanes for excessive wear or damage. Finally, clean any debris from the pump cavity.

Why is my Tuthill FILL-RITE H motor overheating?
- A
  Amy HowardAug 28, 2025
  If the motor of your Tuthill Water Pump overheats, it might be due to transferring high viscosity fluids, which should only be done for short periods (less than 30 minutes). Remove the inlet and clean the screen. Remove and clean any restricted suction pipes. For motor failure, contact Tuthill Customer Service at 1-800-634-2695 (M-F, 8am-6pm EST/EDT).

  Jacqueline StephensSep 1, 2025
  If your Tuthill Water Pump runs slowly, check the incoming supply line voltage to ensure it is correct. Inspect the vanes and rotor slots for nicks, burrs, and wear. Check for loose connections in the wiring. For a motor problem, contact Tuthill Customer Service at 1-800-634-2695 (M-F, 8am-6pm EST/EDT).

  Keith GoodSep 5, 2025
  If the motor of your Tuthill Water Pump is inoperable, check the incoming supply line power. Use a multimeter to isolate any issues with the supply line power. For motor failure, contact Tuthill Customer Service at 1-800-634-2695 (M-F, 8am-6pm EST/EDT). Clean and check the pump rotor, repairing as needed with KIT120RG if there is a locked rotor. Verify correct wire size with local, state, and national electric codes if there is incorrect or loose wiring.
