Not enough water. Stop motor, remove pressure gauge bushing, and fill case and suction line
with water.
Pump wired incorrectly.
Plugged venturi tube or nozzle.
Foot valve is sitting in sand or mud, or is stuck shut, or leaks.
Low well water level. In deep wells, the ejector as well as the foot valve must be below water
level.
For the FP4542 and FP4562, the diffuser O-ring seal may be improperly positioned.
Air leaks. Check all connections for airtightness.
Low well water level. Use a water-level tester while pump is operating.
Plugged venturi tube, nozzle, or impeller parts.
In deep wells, the regulator may be set incorrectly.
Plugged venturi or nozzle.
Faulty pressure gauge resulting in false readings.
In deep wells, the operating pressure may be too high.
Low well water level. Use a water-level tester while pump is operating.
For the FP4542 and FP4562, the diffuser O-ring seal may be improperly positioned.
Over-submergence of ejector. In deep wells, if ejector is more than 10 feet below pumping
level, pumping capacity is reduced.
In deep wells, the ejector may have improper size and depth setting.
Motor voltage does not match power supply voltage. See page 3.
Improper wire size. See Wire Size Guide on page 3.
Impeller is rubbing against pump case.
Impeller is worn.
Defective pressure switch.
For the FP4542 and FP4562, the O-ring seal may be improperly positioned.
Tank precharge pressure too high. Tank precharge pressure must be two pounds less than switch
turn-on setting.
In deep wells, the water level may be going below limit of ejector. Use water-level tester
while pump is operating.
Storage tank is waterlogged—add air.
Leaky foot valve.
Too much tank pressure.
Bladder/diaphragm in pre-charged tank may be ruptured.
If within Warranty, return pump/motor unit to place of purchase (with proof of purchase)
