TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Symptom
No Flow
Low Flow
Sporadic Operation
Excessive Noise
PCA SERIES PUMPS
Problem
Prime system with water and purge all air from suction piping.
Insufficient Prime
Install check valve.
Verify power supply and connection from panel to pump.
Insufficient Power
Verify proper voltage. Some models are dual voltage (115/230).
Ensure valves are open.
Ensure plumbing is clear, including suction strainers, check valves, etc.
Flow Restriction
Verify check valve orientation and direction of permitted flow.
Clean out leaves or other debris from basket strainer (if applicable).
Fix air leaks at fittings, connections, strainer basket etc. This typically occurs
Air leak
on the intake side.
Improper Application Verify pump and pipe are properly sized for the system.

Insufficient Prime
Prime system with water and purge all air from suction piping.
Verify airtight plumbing on the suction plumbing especially fittings!
Clean out leaves or other debris from basket strainer (if applicable).
Cavitation
Increase pipe size where possible.
Decrease suction pipe length, reduce the number of elbows, etc.
Verify hydraulic compatibility: i.e. pump and pipe are sized for the system.
Verify power supply and connection from panel to pump.
Insufficient Power
Verify proper voltage. Some models are dual voltage (115/230).
Poor Ventilation
Ensure adequate aiflow over motor to prevent overheating.
