6.1 Troubleshooting
Symptom
Cause
Remedy
Insufficient or no dis-
charge
Speed too low (usually due to low volt-
age)
Verify proper voltage
System head too high
Verify discharge pressure
Insufficient NPSH or submergence
Verify liquid level is above minimum required
Wear of pump parts
Review pump parts for wear
Wrong direction of rotation
Verify rotation, or swap two of the three electrical
leads
Pump not completely primed (plugged
vent hole)
Check vent hole
Suction opening or discharge pipe
clogged
Clean suction area, and check discharge piping for
clogs
Viscosity of slurry too high
Check for solids settling that increases viscosity
Excessive current
draw
Pump operating at a high horsepower
area of the pump curve (capacity is
greater than the design capacity)
Increase discharge pressure by partially closing
discharge valve
Impeller rubbing or mechanical defect
in the motor
Check impeller clearance as previously described
in these instructions
Specific gravity or viscosity too high
Check for solids settling that increases viscosity
Low voltage
Verify proper voltage
