Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
The motor runs but no water is
discharged or flow rate is lower than
expected.
The suction or Discharge hose or pipe
is blocked or too restrictive.
□ Check hose/pipe for blockages.
□ Check manual for maximum
lengths of pipe/hose that pump
can handle.
□ Do not use a hose/pipe that is
narrower than the discharge of the
pump itself.
The discharge hose/pipe goes up too
high.
Every pump has a maximum “head”
capability, which is the highest it can
lift water. Do not route the discharge
hose/pipe higher than 48 ft.
The discharge hose is restricted.
If you are using a hose that is
narrower than the pump discharge, or
a long hose, the pump will not be able
to discharge water at the rate for
which it was designed. Use a shorter,
thicker hose. Check the hose for coils
or kinks.
The suction hose has collapsed and
won’t stay open.
Suction hoses should be reinforced so
they can maintain their shape under
suction conditions. Replace the hose
with reinforced, suction rated type.
There is a leak in the suction hose.
Repair or replace suction hose.
The impeller or other internal parts are
worn, damaged, or clogged.
□ Inspect the impeller and volute for
wear or breakage. Repair as
needed.
□ Check for clogs in the impeller and
in the suction and discharge ports.
