Troubleshooting
Problem
Pump starts too frequently .
Leaks in system.
Pressure switch.
Tank waterlogged.
Leak in drop pipe.
Pressure switch too far from
tank.
Little or no water delivered .
Bleeder orifice check valve
stuck or installed backwards
(standard tank only).
Low water level.
Low voltage.
Plugged intake screen.
Check valve at pump
discharge stuck.
Worn impellers and diffusers.
Air or milky water discharge from faucets .
Gas in well water.
Air volume control not
working (standard tanks
only).
Check
Check all tank connections with
soapsuds for air leaks. Check
plumbing for leaks.
Check for defective switch or switch
out of adjustment.
Pre-charged tanks; check tank pre-
charge air pressure, check for leak in
bladder.
Air over water tanks: check for air
leaks. Check Air Volume Control
(AVC). Check air pressure valve
operation.
Raise drop pipe one length at a time
until water stands in pipe.
Measure distance from pressure
switch to tank.
Examine valve.
Determine lowest water level in well
while pump is running and compare
to pump depth setting.
Check voltage at control box with
pump running. Check incoming wire
size and drop cable size against
Cable Sizing tables.
Pull pump and check condition of
screen.
Pull pump and examine check valve.
Make sure system is clear of
obstructions and pump is in solid
water and operation normal.
Check for presence of gas in well
water.
Make sure ports and ball check valves
are clear.
Corrective Action
System must be air and water tight.
Re-adjust or replace pressure switch.
Pre-charge tanks: adjust air pressure
to 2 PSI (13.8 kPa) less than pump
cut-in pressure (when there is no
water pressure on system). Replace
bladder if necessary.
Air over water tanks: repair or replace
tanks; replace air pressure valve if
necessary.
Replace pipe above that point.
Move switch to within one foot (.3m)
of tank.
If stuck, free valve; if installed
backwards, reverse it.
Lower pump further into well (but
at least 5' (1.6m) above bottom
of well). Throttle pump discharge
until discharge equals recovery rate
of well.
NOTICE Running pump while
airlocked can cause loss of prime and
seriously damage pump.
Install larger wire from meter to
control box. Install larger wire from
control box to pump. If necessary,
have power company raise supply
voltage.
Clean or replace as necessary.
Free check valve.
Replace pump.
Remove bleeder orifices; plug tees.
Be sure plugged tees do not leak.
If necessary, separate gas from air
before it enters pressure tank.
Replace control if necessary.
