14. Troubleshooting

Fault Cause 

Remedy

1. The pump does 

not run. 

a) The fuses are blown. 

Replace the blown fuses. If the new fuses 
blow too, check the electrical installation 
and the drop cable. 

b) The GFI circuit breaker has tripped. 

Reset the circuit breaker. 

c) No electricity supply. 

Contact the electricity provider. 

d) The motor protection has cut off the 

electricity supply due to overload. 

Check for motor/pump blockage. 

e) The drop cable is defective. 

Repair or replace the pump/cable.

f) Overvoltage has occurred.

Check the electricity supply.

2. The pump runs but 

gives no water. 

a) The discharge valve is closed. 

Open the valve. 

b) No water or too low water level in 

well. 

Increase the installation depth of the pump, 
throttle the pump or replace it with a 
smaller capacity model. 

c) The check valve is stuck in its closed 

position. 

Pull the pump and clean or replace the 
valve. 

d) The suction strainer is closed. 

Pull the pump and clean the strainer. 

e) The pump is defective. 

Repair or replace the pump.

3. The pump runs at 

reduced capacity. 

a) The drawdown is larger than 

anticipated. 

Increase the installation depth of the pump, 
throttle the pump or replace it with a 
smaller capacity model. 

b) The valves in the discharge pipe are 

partly closed/blocked.

Check and clean or replace the valves as 
necessary. 

c) The discharge pipe is partly choked 

by impurities (iron bacteria). 

Clean or replace the discharge pipe. 

d) The check valve of the pump is 

blocked. 

Pull the pump and clean or replace the 
valve. 

e) The pump and the riser pipe are 

partly choked by impurities 
(iron bacteria). 

Pull the pump. Check and clean or replace 
the pump, if necessary. Clean the pipes. 

f) The pump is defective. 

Repair or replace the pump. 

g) Hole in discharge pipe. 

Check and repair the piping.

h) The riser pipe is defective. 

Replace the riser pipe.

i) Undervoltage has occurred.

Check the electricity supply.

4. Frequent starts 

and stops. 

a) The differential of the pressure 

switch between the start and stop 
pressures is too small. 

Increase the differential. However, the stop 
pressure must not exceed the operating 
pressure of the pressure tank and the start 
pressure should be high enough to ensure 
sufficient water supply. 

b) The water level electrodes or level 

switches in the reservoir have not 
been installed correctly. 

Adjust the intervals of the electrodes/level 
switches to ensure suitable time between 
the cutting-in and cutting-out of the pump. 
See installation and operating instructions 
for the automatic devices used. If the 
intervals between start/stop cannot be 
changed via the automatics, the pump 
capacity may be reduced by throttling the 
discharge valve. 

c) The check valve is leaking or stuck 

half-open. 

Pull the pump and clean or replace the 
check valve. 

d) The supply voltage is unstable.

Check the electricity supply.

e) The motor temperature is too high.

Check the water temperature.
