How to fix little or no discharge from Zoeller Water Pump?
- M
  Michael SaundersAug 5, 2025
  If your Zoeller Water Pump has little to no discharge, the following could be the cause. Ensure the pump casing is initially filled with water. If the suction lift is too high or long, move the pump closer to the water source. Repair or replace any holes or air leaks in the suction line, using pipe tape and sealing compound. Make sure the foot valve is appropriately sized to the piping, or install one size larger. Submerge the foot valve or suction line deeper in the water. Check the motor wiring against the wiring diagram. Replace a leaking casing gasket. Finally, ensure that suction or discharge line valves are open.

Why Zoeller 1461-0006 will not deliver water or develop pressure?
- R
  Rebecca McknightAug 10, 2025
  If your Zoeller Water Pump isn't delivering water or developing pressure, start by ensuring the pump casing is filled with priming water. Next, check for any leaks in the suction line and repair or replace as necessary. Make sure the discharge line is open, allowing priming air to escape. Also, verify that the suction line (or valve) is open. If the foot valve is leaking, replace it. Lastly, inspect the suction screen for clogs and clean or replace it if needed.

Why does my Zoeller 1461-0006 keep losing suction?
- R
  ryan50Aug 16, 2025
  If your Zoeller Water Pump is experiencing a loss of suction, there are several potential causes. First, check for air leaks in the suction line and repair or replace as needed. If the suction lift is too high, lower it, install a foot valve, and prime the pump. Ensure sufficient inlet pressure or suction head by adding more water to the tank or increasing back pressure. Lastly, inspect the foot valve or strainer for clogs and unclog if necessary.

What to do if my Zoeller Water Pump will not start or run?
- K
  Kayla WelchAug 22, 2025
  If your Zoeller Water Pump isn't starting or running, several factors could be at play. First, verify the wiring is correct by checking the wiring diagram on the motor. A blown fuse or open circuit breaker can also prevent the pump from starting, so replace the fuse or close the circuit breaker. Additionally, inspect for loose or broken wiring, tightening connections or replacing any damaged wires. In some cases, a stone or foreign object might be lodged in the impeller, requiring you to disassemble the pump to remove it. If the motor is shorted out, it will need to be replaced. Finally, if the thermal overload has opened the circuit, allow the unit to cool down before restarting, after identifying the cause of the overload.

How to reduce vibration and noise in Zoeller Water Pump?
- J
  joshuarogersAug 28, 2025
  If your Zoeller Water Pump vibrates or makes excessive noise, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the mounting plate or foundation is not rigid enough, and reinforce it if needed. Disassemble the pump and clean any foreign material that may be inside. If the impeller is damaged, replace it. Lastly, worn motor bearings can also cause these issues, so replace them if necessary.
