Problem
Pump runs and moves
water but the quantity of
water is less than it should
be
There is some kind of oil
around the pump and in the
water
The impeller wears out
quickly
Impeller is broken
Electronic utility pump not
working as described
8
Possible Cause
1. Discharge hose is restrictive
2. Debris partially blocking intake
area
3. Discharge elevation too high
4. Impeller or other internal parts
are worn or damaged
1. Standard submersible utility
pump being used in a pond,
waterfall, etc. It has overheated
and expelled its dielectric oil.
2. Standard submersible utility
pump used in a fish pond
3. Submersible utility pump simply
ran too long in shallow water and
expelled its dielectric oil
1. Sand, dirt or other grit in the
water is accelerating wear
2. Some liquid other than water is
being pumped
1. Pump has picked up debris that
caused the damage
Pump won't keep running when
1.
there is plenty of water
2. Pump keeps running long after
the water is gone
Corrective Action
1. If you are using a hose that is narrower than
the pump discharge, or a long hose, the
pump will not be able to discharge water at
the rate for which it was designed. Use a
shorter, fatter hose.Check hose for coils or
kinks. Lay hose out straight for best
performance
2. Remove debris and ensure intake area is
clear for optimum performance
3. The higher the discharge hose goes, the
less water the pump can move. For
improved performance the hose should go
up too high.
4. Inspect the impeller, diffuser, and other
internal parts for wear and damage. Repair
as needed
1. Standard submersible utility pumps are not
designed to run for long periods of time. For
waterfall or pond use, or for any use where
the pump must run for a long period, use a
pump that is specifically labeled as a
waterfall or pond pump.
2. Fish waste in the water can attack the shaft
seal. The seal has become damaged and
the internal oil has come out. Use only
waterfall type pumps in a fish pond.
3. A standard submersible utility pump is only
cooled by the water surrounding it. If allowed
to run too long in shallow water, the pump
can overheat and expel its oil. Need to run
the pump for shorter periods of time with
"breaks" to allow for complete cool-down.
1. All K2 utility pumps are designed to pump
clear water. If there is dirt or grit in the water,
the internal parts of the pump will wear at an
accelerated rate.
2. Many liquids have very little lubricating
qualities. They will not lubricate the impeller
properly and it will wear out faster. K2 utility
pumps are all designed to pump clear fresh
water.
1. K2 utility pumps use a thermoplastic
impeller. Care must be used to try to keep
debris from being drawn into the pump which
will damage it.
1. Discharge hose is too restrictive (too narrow,
too long, or too high).
Electrical supply inadequate. Pump should
be plugged directly into an outlet without
going through extension cord, timer, or
ground fault interrupter circuit.
2. Internal sensing circuitry has failed. Pump
will function fine as a standard utility pump
but its sensing circuitry will not work. Clean
water sensing probes.
