Fault | Cause | Solution |
Piston not sealing or poor sealing; pump fails to prime | 1. Guide shaft lacks lubrication, causing seizure and preventing sealing piston from seating properly; 2.Poor contact between cable and motor terminals, or blown fuse; power supply interrupted, sealing piston inoperative | 1.Apply sewing machine oil to guide shaft: 2.Check and reconnect power supply |
Leakage in connecting hose; pump cannot create vacuum and fails to prime | 1. Clamps at both ends of hose connecting control valve and pump are loose due to corrosion or prolonged use, causing air leakage 2. Sealing gasket aged, piston seals poorly | 1.Inspect, repair or replace clamps to ensure tight, reliable, air-tight connection 2.Replace sealing gasket |
Pump fails to start in automatic mode | 1. A sensor has poor contact 2. 2.Sensor high/low limits or upper/lower ends installed reversely; 3. Motor or fuse damaged; 4.No liquid in tank; sensor not activated; | 1.Restore good sensor contact 2.Install sensor correctly; 3.Repair motor or replace fuse; 4.Check liquid level in tank |
Pump fails to stop automatically | 1. A sensor is damaged, causing false action; 2. Solid particles in liquid jam the sensor float, forcing false action | 1. Replace damaged sensor: 2. Flush sensor float to restore free movement |
Unable to switch between auto and manual mode | A button is damaged | Replace damaged button |
Pump fails to start in manual mode | 1. Manual button damaged 2. Motor or fuse damaged | 1. Replace damaged manual button 2. Repair motor or replace fuse |
Motor does not run | 1.Motor damaged 2.Power supply interrupted | 1.Repair or replace motor 2.Check and reconnect power supply |
Pump delivers no water | 1.Insufficient priming liquid; 2.Air leakage at a flange, valve or pipe section on suction side; 3.Priming or vent plug not tightened, or missing gasket inside plug; 4.No liquid in tank or pool | Check item by item and address accordingly |
Flow rate or head (pressure) below specification | 1. Voltage too low, rated speed not achieved; 2. Motor rotating in reverse direction; 3. Bottom strainer clogged, insufficient flow passage; 4. Chronic air leakage at a flange, valve or pipe section on suction side, reducing pump vacuum; 5.Insufficient liquid in tank or pool, causing intermittent air ingestion | Check item by item and address accordingly |
Leakage at connection between motor and pump | 1. Leakage occurs momentarily at startup then disappears during normal operation; 2. Continuous leakage during operation (possible causes: mechanical seal damaged, or actual head/pressure differs significantly from pump specifications) | 1. Priming liquid overfilled – not a fault; 2. Check if mechanical seal is damaged; recalculate whether operating pressure exceeds pump rated parameters. If seal is damaged, consider repair or replacement. If pressure parameters differ significantly, consider re‑selection or adjust actual operating pressure |
