What to do if my Xylem LOWARA e-SV Water Pump doesn't start?
- B
  bradley81Aug 17, 2025
  If your Xylem Water Pump isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that the power supply hasn't been cut off; if it has, restore it. Another potential cause is the thermal overload protection of the motor being triggered; in this case, reset the thermal overload protection on either the control panel or the unit itself. Also, check if the device detecting the absence of liquid or minimum pressure has been activated, and if so, top up the liquid or restore minimum pressure. Finally, inspect the power supply cable for damage and replace it if necessary. If your pump has a capacitor, it may be faulty and need replacement. In some cases, the control panel or the motor itself may be faulty, requiring you to check, repair, or replace them.

Why does the differential protection device (RCD) activate on my Xylem Water Pump?
- M
  Michael AdamsAug 22, 2025
  The differential protection device (RCD) on your Xylem Water Pump might be activating due to a motor leak. In this case, you should check, repair, or replace the motor. It could also be due to an unsuitable type of differential, so verify that the differential is the correct type.

Why is there little or no flow rate when my Xylem LOWARA e-SV is running?
- M
  Matthew MooreAug 27, 2025
  If your Xylem Water Pump runs but produces little to no flow, several issues could be the cause. First, check if the motor is turning in the wrong direction and correct it if necessary. Incorrect priming, indicated by air bubbles in the suction pipe or unit, requires repeating the priming procedure. Cavitation could also be the culprit, so increase the NPSH2 available in the system. Additionally, inspect the check valve and foot check valve for being locked in a closed or partially closed position, and replace them if faulty. Ensure the discharge pipe is not throttled by removing any throttling. Finally, check for and remove any clogging in the piping or unit.

Why does my Xylem LOWARA e-SV never stop running (automatic start/stop)?
- C
  Charles MorrisAug 30, 2025
  If your Xylem Water Pump never stops in automatic start/stop mode, several factors could be responsible. The required flow rate might be greater than expected, so try reducing it. Leaks in the discharge pipe could also be the cause; eliminate any leaks. Ensure the motor isn't turning in the wrong direction; if it is, correct it. Check for pipes, on-off valves, or filters clogged with impurities and remove them. Also, the starter (pressure switch, sensor, etc.) might be set incorrectly or be faulty, needing adjustment or replacement. Finally, the issue might be related to low flow rate.

What causes excessive noise and/or vibrations in my Xylem LOWARA e-SV?
- K
  Kenneth RiosSep 2, 2025
  Excessive noise and vibrations in your Xylem Water Pump can stem from several causes. Cavitation is a potential issue, so increasing the NPSH3 available in the system may help. Check the anchoring to the ground to ensure it's suitable. Resonance could also be a factor, so inspect the installation. If anti-vibration joints are missing, install them on the suction and discharge sides of the unit. Foreign bodies within the unit should be removed. Worn or faulty motor bearings require replacement. If the unit doesn't turn freely due to a mechanical fault, professional testing may be needed.

Why does my Xylem Water Pump start up too frequently (automatic start/stop)?
- S
  Steven WiseSep 5, 2025
  If your Xylem Water Pump starts up too frequently in automatic start/stop mode, several factors could be the cause. Incorrect priming, leading to air bubbles in the suction pipe or unit, requires repeating the priming procedure. Check the check valve and foot check valve for being locked in a closed or partially closed position; replace them if necessary. The starter (pressure switch, sensor, etc.) might be set incorrectly or be faulty, needing adjustment or replacement. Also, the expansion vessel could be missing pre-charge, be undersized, or not installed at all; pre-charge it, replace it with a suitable one, or install one. In some cases, the unit may be oversized.

What should I do if my Xylem Water Pump is leaking?
- C
  Charles BauerSep 8, 2025
  If your Xylem Water Pump is leaking, the issue likely involves the mechanical seal. A worn mechanical seal should be replaced, or you can fit one with harder seal faces. If the mechanical seal is damaged due to thermal shock from air bubbles, replace it. A defective mechanical seal should also be replaced. If the mechanical seal is damaged due to the liquid's temperature being outside the rated limits, replace it with a suitable alternative. Lastly, if the mechanical seal is damaged due to chemical incompatibility with the liquid, replace it with one that is chemically compatible.

  Sonya CruzSep 12, 2025
  If the differential protection device (RCD) is activated in your Xylem Water Pump, it could be due to a motor leak, in which case you should check, repair, or replace the motor. Another possible cause is an unsuitable type of differential, so verify that the differential is appropriate.
