The actual duty point of the pump lies to
the right of the specified duty point on the
pump curve. The result is lower head,
higher flow and higher power
consumption.

The viscosity or specific gravity of the
pumped liquid is higher than that of water.

Faults
Causes
A: The pump delivers no liquid.
B: The pump does not deliver enough liquid.
C: The pump does not create enough pressure.
D: The pump loses liquid after running for a short time.
E: The pump consumes too much power.
F: The motor is overloaded.
G: Vibrations.
H: Cavitation noise.
I:
The pump bearings are overheated.
J:
The pump operates for a short time and then stops.
K: Reference numbers to remedies.
No. Cause
Remedy
1
The pump is not primed, lack of
priming liquid, incomplete priming.
Fill the pump and inlet pipe completely with pumped liquid.
2
Loss of priming liquid.
Mend possible leaks in the inlet pipe, joints and fittings. Vent the
pump housing to remove accumulated air.
3
The suction lift or static lift is too
high.
Reduce the difference in height between the water reservoir or
water supply and the pump.
4
The outlet pressure is too high.
Make sure that valves in the outlet pipe are fully open.
For parallel operation, this indicates that the outlet pressure is
higher than designed friction losses in the pipes. Review system
design and actual pressure developed in the system with parallel
operation.
5
The speed is too low.
1. Make sure that the motor receives full voltage.
2. Make sure that the frequency is correct.
3. Make sure that all phases are connected.
6
Wrong direction of rotation.
Compare the direction of rotation with the directional arrow on
the pump housing. If required, change the direction of rotation by
interchanging two phases in the motor.
