What to do if Zoeller Water Pump runs but no water is delivered?

  If your Zoeller Water Pump runs but delivers little or no water, it could be due to several reasons. First, verify that all connections are correctly installed, as incorrect or loose connections can cause this issue. Additionally, a plugged weep hole can lead to the unit becoming air-locked; clean the weep hole to resolve this. A blocked discharge pipe can also restrict water flow, so clear the discharge pipe. Finally, a malfunctioning check valve might be the culprit; replace the check valve if necessary.

  If your Zoeller Water Pump backup pump won’t run, start by verifying that all connections are correctly installed, as incorrect or loose connections can prevent it from operating. Next, check all wire terminals and clean them if required, as dirty terminal points can disrupt the electrical flow. Also, a low battery can be the cause, so service or replace the battery. Lastly, check the 30 Amp controller fuse and replace it with a 30 amp automotive blade fuse if it's blown.

  If the water level stays high and the Zoeller Water Pump continues to run, it could be due to a low battery. In this case, service or replace the battery. If power has been restored, check the primary pump and service or replace it if required.
