Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM
Pump won't start or run.
Pump operates but
delivers little or no water.
For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at
Anti-Airlock Valve
(Remove screen
and look under
pump for access)
PROBABLE CAUSE(S)
Pump is not plugged in.
Blown fuse.
Low line voltage.
Defective motor.
Restricted discharge
(obstacle or ice in piping).
Restricted intake.
Low line voltage.
Worn or plugged impeller.
The anti-airlock hole is plugged.
AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any
water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail.
The pumps have a built in anti-airlock hole. See Figure 1
for the location of the hole. Water leakage from the anti-
airlock hole is normal.
If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the
anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or a piece of wire, and
restart the pump.
