What to do if my Vetus WP1208 motor does not run?

  Zachary HayesAug 2, 2025
  If the motor of your Vetus Water Pump isn't running, several factors could be at play. First, check the wiring, fuse, or circuit breaker to ensure there is power on the pump circuit. Also, examine the electrical connections for looseness or corrosion. A short circuit in the wiring could also be the culprit, so inspect the wires for any damage. If the motor is too hot, the thermal protection may have been activated; in this case, wait for an automatic reset. Other potential causes include a faulty motor or pressure switch, requiring replacement of the pump or pressure switch assembly, respectively. Finally, a locked drive will also necessitate pump replacement.

  If your Vetus Water Pump motor is running but no water is flowing, start by checking if the water tank is empty and fill it, or disconnect the power to the pump. Inspect the inlet and outlet tubes for any restrictions and remove them. Also, examine the strainer for clogs and clean it if necessary. Finally, check for leaks in the suction pipe, and tighten the hose clamps and fittings if any leaks are found.

Why does my Vetus WP1208 cycle when the tap is closed?

  If your Vetus Water Pump is cycling even when the tap is closed, consider these possibilities: There might be a leak in the system, so tighten any leaking hose clamps or fittings. A faulty pressure switch could also be the cause, requiring replacement of the pressure switch assembly. Check that the voltage is correct (± 10 %). Air trapped in the system can also cause cycling; open a tap as close to the pump as possible to release trapped air. Finally, inspect the outlet tubing for any leaks.

  To troubleshoot low capacity or pressure in your Vetus Water Pump, begin by checking the inlet filter for dirt and clean it. Inspect the inlet and outlet tubes for any restrictions and remove them. Also, check for inlet air leaks and tighten or replace cracked fittings. A faulty pressure switch could also be the cause, needing replacement. Ensure the voltage is correct (± 10 %). Other potential issues include a worn wobble plate or diaphragm, which would require replacing the pump.

Why is my Vetus WP1208 noisy or operating roughly?
- E
  ejohnsonAug 27, 2025
  If your Vetus Water Pump is operating noisily or roughly, several factors could be responsible: The pump might be mounted on a flexible surface; in this case, mount it on a rigid surface. Check for a loose pump head and tighten the fasteners. If the base feet are compressed, decompress them. Finally, rigid plumbing can cause noise; plumb the pump with flexible plumbing instead.
