QUICK GUIDE FOR SOLVING COMMON PROBLEMS 

Wright  Flow products  are relatively easy to maintain  with the exception  of  the sanitary process. 
Just as with any other element  of machining,  problems  may arise. This  section  offers a 
guide for identifying and correcting the majority of the pumping problems. For problems with 
you motor, contact the manufacturer directly for best assistance. 
The following  table illustrates  the problems  and probable  causes,  assuming  that the pump 
was correctly selected  for a specific application.  If none of the listed  solutions  provided  in 
the table  resolves  the problem, the most likely cause  is cavitation. Cavitation  may be 
caused  by an incorrect pump selection  and  its symptoms include: excessive noise, 
insufficient pressure,  fluid leak and vibration.  If these  symptoms are present,  please   
re-evaluate  your application. 

 

1. NO FLOW 

SOLUTIONS 

a) Motor speed too low. 
b) Incorrect rotation direction. 

c) Obstruction in discharge piping or closed valves. 

a)  Check electric connections and motor. 
b)  Reverse one of the motors three phases. If 
direction does not change, contact manuf acturer. 
c)  Remove obstruction and open valves. 

2. INSUFICIENT FLOW 

a) Motor speed too low. 
b) Incorrect rotation direction. 

c) Obstruction in discharge piping or closed valves. 

d)  Impeller damaged. 

a)  Check electric connections and motor. 
b)  Reverse one of the motors three phases. If 
direction does not change, contact manuf acturer. 
c)  Remove obstruction and open valves. 
d)  Replace impeller. 

3. EXCESSIVE POWER CONSUMPTION 

a) Motor speed too high. 
b) Impeller damaged. 

c) Motor shaft is bended or worn. 

a)  Motor wires are bad, replace motor. 
b)  Remove casing and replace impeller. 
c)  Replace motor shaft. 

4. EXCESSIVE NOISE 

a)  Magnetic problem with motor. 
b)  Motor bearings damaged. 

c) Foreign particles in impeller. 

d)  Impeller damaged. 
e)  Cavitation. 

a)  Consult motor manufacturer. 
b)  Replace bearings. 
c)  Remove casing and extract particles. 
d)  Replace impeller. 
e) 

Check system’s available NPSH. 

d) Cavitation. 

5. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION 

a) Pump is not leveled. 
b) Impeller damaged. 

c) Piping lacks supports. 

d) Cavitation. 

a) Level the pump. 
b) Replace impeller. 
c) Support suction and discharge piping. 
d) 

Check system’s available NPSH. 

6. FLUID LEAK 

a) Disposable o-rings. 
b) Disposable carbons. 

c) Insuf f icient seal compression. 

d) Damaged casing suction/discharge. 
e) Disposable casing gasket. 
f ) Loose clamp assembly. 

a) Replace o-rings. 
b) Replace carbons. 
c) Replace spring. 
d) Replace casing. 
e) Replace casing gasket. 
f ) Tighten clamp assembly.
