If your Utilitech Water Pump isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, check the fuse or circuit breaker. Another reason might be a defective motor, requiring a pump replacement. Also, ensure the water level is adequate; it should be at least 2 inches or more. Lastly, the GFCI may need to be reset by pressing the reset button on the GFCI outlet.
Why does my Utilitech Water Pump keep shutting off?
If your Utilitech Water Pump is shutting off repeatedly, it could be due to several reasons. Low line voltage might be the cause, in which case you should call the power company. Another potential issue is a clogged impeller; unplug the pump and clean it out. Too much back pressure in the discharge hose can also cause this, so check for kinks, reduce the hose length, or increase the hose diameter. Finally, ensure the discharge is not blocked if the pump runs too long with no load.
What to do if Utilitech Water Pump runs but no water comes out?
If your Utilitech Water Pump is running but not delivering water, several factors could be responsible. Low line voltage could be the issue, and you may need to call the power company. A clogged impeller can also cause this problem; unplug the pump and clean it. Additionally, the garden hose diameter might be too small or the hose too long; consider using a larger diameter garden hose or a 1-inch flexible pipe. Finally, if a check valve is installed without a vent hole, drill a 1/16 to 1/8 inch diameter hole between the pump discharge and the check valve.
