  If your Welch Water Pump won't start, there are several potential causes. First, check the switches and fuses to ensure the power is on. A damaged coupling or loose coupling set screw can also prevent the pump from starting, so inspect those components. In cold environments, the pump might seize; in this case, drain and refill the pump with warm oil. If the pump mechanism is seized, it may require professional repair.

Why is my Welch 8905 Water Pump excessively noisy?

  An excessively noisy Welch Water Pump can stem from several issues. Restricted intake or exhaust lines could be the culprit, so clean and straighten the lines and check the oil level. A damaged coupling can also cause noise, so examine and replace if necessary. A slapping noise at ultimate pressure can be typical for some pumps, in this case you should clean the orifice air passage. If the internal mechanism is damaged, the pump may need to be repaired.

  If your Welch Water Pump isn't reaching ultimate pressure, several factors could be responsible. The pump might be contaminated, in which case you should flush and change the pump oil and use a foreline trap. Ensure the pump is filled with the recommended oil and that the oil level is adequate. Using the wrong oil can also cause this issue, so flush and refill with the correct oil. Check for leaks in the vacuum system and eliminate any sources. A dirty foreline trap can also be a problem; clean out cold traps and replace elements in coaxial and molecular sieve traps. Finally, make sure the gas ballast is closed.
