The device is working
(i.e., the pump is
moving), but no fluid
is delivered.
The product flow is
suspended.
The pump supply
decreases while
working.
The pump supply
decreases during
work, and tends to
stop completely.
The product delivery

The filter in the delivery line is
clogged (if installed).
The suction filter is clogged (if
installed).
No fluid is available at the pump's
inlet.
The suction tube is clogged or
leaking (is possibly sucking air in
