Why is my Water Ace R20L Water Pump not delivering rated capacity?
- P
  Pamela MaynardAug 10, 2025
  If your Water Ace Water Pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, several factors could be at play. Start by checking that the suction pipe is submerged at least 3 feet below the water level and ensure the voltage of the pump matches the voltage of the power supply. Also, inspect the valve, suction piping, foot valve, or well point. Reduce the discharge system head, check for any leaks, and if the pump flow exceeds the well's capability, reduce the pump flow. Confirm all connections are airtight and that the suction pipe is 1-1/2".

  Charlotte RichmondSep 1, 2025
  If your Water Ace Water Pump vibrates or is noisy, ensure that the pump foundation is sufficient. Also, check for a bent shaft, worn motor bearing, or a clogged impeller. Note that the well depth should not exceed the pump's capability.
