Why is my Utilitech Water Pump not pumping water?
- Mmary20Aug 6, 2025
There are several reasons why your Utilitech Water Pump might fail to pump water or experience reduced capacity. It could be due to suction leaks or a lost prime. Ensure the pump volute and trap are full of water. Check for leaks in the suction piping and make sure the suction pipe inlet is well below the water level to prevent the pump from sucking air. Replace the suction trap gasket if it's defective and confirm that the pump isn't lifting water more than 10 ft. Also, ensure the suction pipe is at least 1-1/2 in. in diameter. Another cause might be a clogged pipe, trap, or impeller, or a worn impeller. Make sure the suction trap and impeller are not clogged, cleaning them if necessary. The impeller and diffuser may also be worn, requiring replacement parts.
