Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem
The pump does not deliver water to full
capacity.
The pump delivers water but does not shut
off or the pump cycles too frequently.
Air spurts from the faucets.
Possible Cause
1.
The water level in the well is lower than
estimated.
2.
Steel piping (if used) is corroded or limed,
causing excess friction.
3.
Piping is too small in size.
4.
The well point is packed.
1.
The pressure switch is out of adjustment or
contacts are welded together.
2.
Faucets have been left open.
3.
The venturi, nozzle or impeller is clogged.
4.
The standard pressure tank is waterlogged and
has no air cushion.
5.
The pipes are leaking.
6.
The foot valves are leaking.
7.
The air charge is too low in the pre-charged tank.
1.
The pump is picking up prime.
2.
There is a leak in the suction side of the pump.
3.
The well is gaseous.
4.
Intermittent over-pumping of the well.
(Water drawn down below the foot valve.)

Corrective Action
1.
A deep well jet will be needed if your well
is more than 25 ft. (7.6 M)depth to water.
2.
Replace with plastic pipe where possible,
otherwise with new steel pipe.
3.
Use larger piping.
4.
Backflush the well point or sink new point.
1.
DISCONNECT POWER; adjust or replace the
pressure switch.
2.
Close the faucets.
3.
Clean the venturi, nozzle or impeller.
4.
Drain the tank to air volume control port.
Check AVC for defects. Check all
connections for air leaks.
5.
Check the connections.
6.
Replace the foot valves.
7.
DISCONNECT POWER and open faucets
until all pressure is relieved.
Using a tire pressure gauge, check air
pressure in the tank at the valve stem
located on the tank. If necessary, adjust
air pressure in the tank to 28 PSI(2 PSI
lower than switch cut-in setting). Check
the air valve for leaks (use shaving cream)
and replace core if necessary.
1.
When pump has picked up prime, it should
pump solid water with no air.
2.
The suction pipe is sucking air. Check
joints for leaks with shaving cream.
3.
Consult the factory about installing a
sleeve in the well.
4.
Lower the foot valve if possible, otherwise
restrict pump discharge.
