Pump runs but pumps very little or no water:
Make sure a check valve is installed and functioning between the
primary pump discharge and the Battery Backup wye.
Check for an obstruction in the discharge pipe.
The discharge pipe length and/or height exceeds the capacity of the
pump. See Table VI, Page 11, for pump capacity.
Check for a low or defective battery.
The Positive (+) and negative (–) pump wires are reversed.
Disconnect them and reconnect correctly.
Pump cycles too frequently:
The check valve located between the discharge of the primary
pump and the Battery Backup wye is not installed or is not
working properly. Install an auxiliary check valve (see Pages 5
and 6) or replace the existing check valve as required.
