*Pump does not
deliver water to full
capacity
1. Water being pumped is lower than
estimated
2. Steel piping (if used) is corroded or
limed, causing excess friction
3. Piping is too small in size
4. Pump not being supplied with
enough water
1. A deep well jet will be needed if
the water being pumped is more
than 25 ft. (7.6 m) depth to water
2. Replace with plastic pipe where
possible, otherwise with new steel
pipe
3. Re-pipe using size of suction and
discharge ports on pump
4. Add additional well points
* Stop pump; then check prime before looking for other causes. Unscrew priming plug and see if
water is in priming hole.
