Problem

Cause

Solution

Water is full of 

bubbles at outlet

1.  Pumping bubbles temporarily as 

air is purged after initial setup.

2.  Leak in suction side of pump system.
3.  Well is gaseous.
4.  Water level below suction 

inlet of foot valve.

1.  Temporary self-remedying issue. 

2.  Check for and fix leaks.
3.  Install a sleeve in the well.
4.  Lower suction line into water 

and re-prime. If water is deeper 

than Maximum Well Depth, then a 

deep well pump may be needed.

Motor runs, but water 

is not pumping

1.  Improper priming. 

2.  Air leakage. 

3.  Vertical lift too high. 

4.  Water level below suction inlet  

of foot valve. 

5.  Frozen pipes. 

6.  Foot valve in dirt or sand.
7.  Foot/check valve clogged.
8.  Pressure switch is set too low.

1.  Prime the pump by pouring clean 

water into the Priming Inlet.

2.  Check all pipes and joints in the suction 

line for air leakage using soapy water.

3.  Reduce vertical lift to within specifications. 

See Installation on page 3.

4.  Lower suction line into water 

and re-prime. If water is deeper 

than Maximum Well Depth, then a 

deep well pump may be needed.

5.  Thaw the pipes. Bury pipes below 

freeze line/insulate pipes.

6.  Raise foot valve to clean water level.
7.  Clean or replace foot/check valve.
8.  Have the pressure switch 

adjusted by qualified technician 

(30 PSI Start, 50 PSI Stop).

Pump does 

not shut-off

1.  Pressure switch contacts welded together. 

2.  Fixture (toilet, faucet, etc.) open or leaking.
3.  Impeller is clogged.
4.  Tank bladder pressure is too low.
5.  Pipeline leakage.
6.  Foot/check valve leaks water back to well.

1.  Have the pressure switch replaced 

by a qualified technician.

2.  Close or repair fixture.
3.  Clean impeller.
4.  Inflate to 28 PSI.
