  If your Water Ace Water Pump's fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips when the pump starts, it could be due to several reasons. The pump impeller might be partially clogged with tar or paint, causing the motor to run slowly and overload. Alternatively, the fuse or circuit breaker might be too small; it should be 15 amps. Also, check if the impeller or volute openings are clogged and need cleaning.

  If your Water Ace Water Pump runs but does not deliver water, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the check valve is installed correctly, with the arrow pointing in the direction of flow. Also, check that the discharge shutoff valve is open, if one is being used. The pump might be air-locked; try starting and stopping it several times by plugging and unplugging the cord. Inspect the pump case for a clogged vent hole, and examine the impeller or volute openings, as well as the inlet holes in the pump base, for any clogs that need cleaning. Lastly, consider whether the vertical pumping distance is too high, requiring a reduction in distance or a resizing of the pump.

  If your Water Ace Water Pump does not run or hums, there are several potential causes. First, check the line circuit breaker and replace the fuse if necessary. Ensure the water level in the sump has reached the correct turn-on level as indicated in the installation drawing. Verify that the pump cord is making proper contact in the receptacle. Also, make sure the float operates freely in the basin. If all of these are okay, the motor winding may be open.

  If your Water Ace Water Pump runs and pumps out the sump but doesn't stop, the float may be stuck in the up position. Ensure the float operates freely in the basin. Also, consider replacing the float switch (RSMA) for R2SA, R3S and R5S-1, or replacing it with a vertical switch RVS for R3V and R5V.

Why is my Water Ace R3S delivering only a small amount of water?

  If your Water Ace Water Pump runs but delivers only a small amount of water, it could be due to the pump being air-locked; try starting and stopping it several times by plugging and unplugging the cord. The vertical pumping distance might be too high, so consider reducing the distance or resizing the pump. Also, check for clogged inlet holes in the pump base, or clogged impeller or volute openings. The pump impeller might also be partially clogged with tar or paint, causing the motor to run slowly and overload; in any of these cases, you should remove the pump and clean it.

  If your Water Ace Water Pump motor runs for a short time, then stops, it could be due to several reasons. The inlet holes in the pump base may be clogged, or the pump impeller may be partially clogged with tar or paint, causing the motor to run slowly and overload. Also, the impeller or volute openings might be fully or partially clogged. In any of these cases, remove the pump and clean the openings. Additionally, the motor stator may be defective.
