What to do if Utilitech Water Pump will not deliver water or develop pressure?

  Vincent RobertsAug 6, 2025
  If your Utilitech Water Pump isn't delivering water or developing pressure, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the pump is properly primed by following the priming instructions. Check for any leaks in the suction line and repair or replace if necessary, applying pipe dope to all threads. Also, verify that the discharge line is open to allow air to escape during priming; open several outlets or faucets. A leaking foot valve can also be the culprit, so consider replacing it. Finally, make sure the foot valve is submerged below the water level; if not, lower it and reprime the pump.

How to fix Utilitech Water Pump with little or no discharge?

  Terry TerryAug 14, 2025
  If your Utilitech Water Pump has little or no discharge, there are several things to check. Begin by priming the pump according to the instructions. Ensure the suction lift isn't too high or long; move the pump closer to the water source, keeping the lift under 25 ft for shallow wells and under 90 ft for deep wells. Inspect the suction line for holes or air leaks and repair or replace it, using pipe tape and sealing compound. Also, make sure the foot valve or suction line is submerged deep enough in the water. If the foot valve is too small, replace it with one that matches the piping or is one size larger. Verify that the voltage switch matches your power supply (115V or 230V). Lastly, check for a leaking casting gasket and replace it if necessary.

  If your Utilitech Water Pump won't start or run, begin by verifying that the voltage switch matches your power supply (115V or 230V). Check for a blown fuse or open circuit breaker and replace the fuse or close the breaker. Inspect the wiring for looseness or breaks; tighten connections or replace broken wiring. If a stone or foreign object is lodged in the impeller, disassemble the pump and remove it. Finally, if the thermal overload has opened the circuit, allow the unit to cool down and restart it after identifying the cause of the overload.

  William HuynhAug 28, 2025
  If your Utilitech Water Pump vibrates and/or makes excessive noise, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the mounting plate or foundation is rigid enough; if not, reinforce it. There might also be foreign material inside the pump, so disassemble it and clean it thoroughly. Lastly, inspect the impeller for damage and replace it if needed.
