VIII. Troubleshooting 

Problem Cause 

Remedy 

Pump 
does not 
achieve or 
maintain 
prime 

Air Trapped in suction 
line 
 
Foot Valve 
contaminated or 
improperly installed 
 
Excessive lift 
 
 
 
 
Suction fittings not 
properly tightened 
 
 
Worn or contaminated 
check valves 
 
Kink or pinch in 
suction tube 
 
 
Low chemical level 

Straighten suction line so as to eliminate high 
spots 
 
Inspect foot valve screen and assure that foot 
valve is in a vertical position below fluid level 
 
 
Maximum suction lift is 5 feet with water or fluids 
of similar specific gravity; less with heavier 
liquids such as acids.  Mount pump in a lower 
position relative to the chemical container. 
 
Check fittings.  Over tightening may cause 
restriction.  Conversely, if 

any

 leakage occurs, 

pump will suck air and fail to prime. 
 
Inspect check valves in fluid end for cleanliness.  
Clean or replace as necessary. 
 
Inspect suction tube through its full length to 
assure that there are no kinks or other 
restrictions 
 
Check fluid level in chemical supply tank 

Insufficient 
fluid 

Obstruction in suction 
line 
 
Clogged foot valve 
screen 
 
Diaphragm worn or 
torn 
 
Electronic failure 

Check suction line for obstructions, clogging, 
kinks or pinch points 
 
Clean or replace foot valve screen 
 
 
Replace diaphragm, making sure that it is 
screwed on fully to shoulder of shaft 
 
Consult factory 

Excessive 
fluid 

Failure of anti-siphon 
valve 
 
Improper stroke length 

Inspect or add anti-siphon valve.  This is caused 
when system is in a vacuum condition. 
 
Consult factory 

Pump will 
not run 

Pump not turned on or 
not plugged in 
 
 
 
Electronic failure 

Check outlet with meter to assure that 95-135 
VAC is present on 120V systems and that the 
power supply cord is in good condition and 
plugged in 
 
Consult dealer or factory
