9.0. STORAGE OF THE DIAPHRAGM PUMP 

8.6 Troubleshooting

 

PROBLEM 

CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

1- Pump cycles at stall 
or fails to hold 
pressure at stall. 

Worn check valve balls, seats or o-rings. 

Replace. 

2- Pump will not cycle, 
or cycles once and 
stops. 

Air valve is stuck or dirty. 

Disassamble and clean air valve. Use 
ONLY filtered air. 

Check valve ball severely worn and 
wedged in seat or manifold. 

Replace ball and seat. 

Check valve ball is wedged into seat, due 
to overpressurization. 

Install a pressure relief valve. 

Dispensing valve is clogged. 

Relieve pressure and clean valve. 

3- Pump operates 
erratically. 

Suction line is clogged. 

Inspect; clean. 

Sticky or leaking ckeck valve balls. 

Clean or replace. 

Diaphragm is ruptured. 

Replace.  

Pump is sucking air. 

Check inlet hose and inlet manifold o-
rings. 

Restricted exhaust. 

Remove restriction. 

4- Air bubbles in fluid. 

Suction line is loose. 

Tighten. 

Diaphragm is ruptured. 

Replace.  

Loose inlet manifold, damaged seal 
between manifold and seat, or damaged o-
rings. 

Tighten manifold bolts, or replace 
seats  or o-rings. 

Loose diaphragm shaft bolt. 

Tighten or replace.  

Damaged o-ring. 

Replace. 

5- Fluid in exhaust air. 

Diaphragm is ruptured. 

Replace.  

Loose diaphragm shaft bolt. 

Tighten or replace. 

Damaged o-ring. 

Replace.  

6- Pump frequently 
stops running. 

Insufficient hose diameter. 

Get a larger diameter hose. 

Too much hose length. 

Use a shorter hose. 

7- Pump stops working 
and exhausts air. 

Air valve is stuck or dirty. 

Disassamble and clean air valve. Use 
filtered air. 

Air valve teflon o-rings are worn. 

Disassamble and replace z-rings.  

Pilot valve o-rings are worn. 

Disassamble and replace o-rings.  

Air inlet pressure and flow are not enough.  Rise the pressure and flow. 

8- Pump leaks fluid 
externally from 
manifold body 
connects. 

Loose manifolds, damaged o-ring between 
manifold and seat. 

Replace o-rings, tighten manifold bolts. 

9- Diaphragm moves 
to inside of the pump, 
and fluid leaks from 
the openings.  

Fluid outlet is clogged or outlet valve is 
closed when the pump is under pressure. 

Clean the outlet line or open the fluid 
outlet valve. 

Max. air pressure is exceeded. 

Lower the air pressure. 

The fluid temperature is above the working 
limits. Adjust the air pressure according to 
the fluid temperature. 

Lower the air pressure.
