Why does my Utilitech 148137 Water Pump run but not deliver water?

  If your Utilitech Water Pump runs but doesn't deliver water, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the check valve isn't installed backward; the arrow on the valve should point away from the pump. Check that the shut-off valve (if one is installed) is open. The impeller, pump inlet, or discharge pipe might be clogged, requiring you to remove the pump from the basin and clean these components. Finally, the vertical pumping distance may be too high; reduce it to match the performance chart in the instructions.

  If your Utilitech Water Pump won't start or run, there are a few things you can check. First, see if the circuit breaker is off, or if a fuse is blown or loose. Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. If the problem continues, contact a professional electrician or plumber. Also, the water level in the sump basin might not be high enough to activate the switch. Finally, the float may be obstructed. Remove any obstructions around the float to ensure it can move freely.

  If your Utilitech Water Pump runs continuously, it might be due to a float that's stuck in the 'on' position; ensure the float can move freely. Another possibility is a defective float switch, which would need to be replaced.

  If the fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips when your Utilitech Water Pump starts, the impeller, pump inlet, or discharge pipe may be clogged. Remove the pump from the basin and clean these parts. Also, the fuse or circuit breaker might be too small; ensure the electrical circuit capacity is 15 amps or higher.

  If your Utilitech Water Pump runs but delivers little water, the vertical pumping distance might be too high. Reduce the vertical distance to correspond with the performance chart in the instructions. Alternatively, the impeller, pump inlet, or discharge pipe may be clogged. Remove the pump from the basin and clean these components.
