7 Troubleshooting
7.1 Troubleshooting Checklist
1.
No liquid delivered
1.
Pump not primed - casing and suction pipe not completely filled with liquid.
2.
Speed too low.
3.
Discharge head too high. Check system head (particularly friction loss).
4.
Suction lift too high (suction pipe may be too small or long, causing excessive friction
loss). Check with vacuum or compound gauge.
5.
Impeller or suction pipe or opening completely plugged.
6.
Wrong direction of rotation or impeller installed backwards.
7.
Air pocket in suction line.
8.
Stuffing box packing worn - or liquid seal plugged - allowing leakage of air into pump cas-
ing.
9.
Air leak in suction line.
10. Not enough suction head for hot or volatile liquids. Check carefully as this is a frequent
cause of trouble on such service.
2.
Not enough liquid delivered
1.
Pump not primed - casing and suction pipe not completely filled with liquid.
2.
Speed too low.
3.
Discharge head higher than anticipated. Check system head (particularly friction loss).
4.
Suction lift too high (suction pipe may be too small or long, causing excessive friction
loss.) Check with vacuum or compound gauge.
5.
Impeller or suction pipe or opening partially plugged.
6.
Wrong direction of rotation or impeller installed backwards.
7.
Air pocket in suction line.
8.
Stuffing box packing worn - or liquid seal plugged - allowing leakage of air into pump cas-
ing.
9.
Air leak in suction line.
10. Not enough suction head for hot or volatile liquids. Check carefully as this is a frequent
cause of trouble on such service
11. Foot valve too small.
12. Foot valve or suction pipe not immersed deeply enough.
13. Mechanical defects:
Impeller clearance too great
Impeller damage
3.
Not enough pressure
1.
Speed too low.
2.
Air or gases in liquid.
3.
Impeller diameter may be too small.
4.
Mechanical defects:
Impeller clearance too great
Impeller damage
