Jet pump troubleshooting. Pull pump, disassemble from motor and replace one or both if defective CAD $295 Most of the 2 jets use a clip to clip the float to the needle Add air to increase the bladder pressure, then remove the air by holding the valve open with a fingernail If replacing the switch we recommend using one with a 30-5 psi setting At 1/2 HP, the J5S is sufficient for an average 3-4 person home with shallow well depths up to 25 feet Jet Pump Troubleshooting Pump Repair Parts With the power OFF, take the lid off to do a visual inspection If you’re having issues with your well pump not starting, not starting consistently, or starting too often, the first thing to check is your pressure switch The greater the distance a pump has to pull the water, the lower the flow rate will be In case of bubbles, remove the prime plug and fill it with water once again 2 days ago and last night we lost water pressure to the house I started a list of self priming pump field issues many years ago and noted that almost all of them break down to 10 fundamental areas 13800A715 CHECKING Check also the fuse since it might have blown 00 The pump has a check valve in the discharge that may not be closing Go to the main circuit breaker and check that the switches are in the “on” position Shallow well jet pumps only work up to 25' depth to water This JET PUMP installs easily and Shallow well jet pumps are single stage resdential water pumps designed for pumping portable water in applications where the water is located less than 25 feet vertically from the pump Goulds Pumps Repair & Replacement Pump Parts for all Models Goulds ½ hp Jet pumps are factory pre-wired for 115 volts while ¾ hp and larger are pre-wired for 230 volts UNPACKING Remove the pump lid and clean any debris from the pump basket, then fill it with water using a garden hose To ensure the power is off, be sure to check it with a volt-meter first This After-Market jet pump is found on Hot Spring, Tiger River and Hot Spot models from 1989-2002 This pump is 1 5HP (Operational horsepower), 2-Speed, 115v, 48 Frame, 60hz, 1-1/2" intake/discharge Compression fittings and power cord (not pictured) Try pump, if same problem, keep opening connections closer to pump outlet until blockage is cleared Important Note: To troubleshoot your spa, you will not only need basic tools, but will also need a multi-meter that can check for Voltage and Resistance (Ohms) If the pump still doesn’t provide a smooth flow of water, you will have to check the filters Although all of our testing has shown $150+ hours with no issues, we can clearly see how much of a beating and wear a pump goes through during this period I attempted to lower the cut off pressure in the switch a bit and the pump began short cycling However, if there’s a leak in the suction line, air continues to be drawn into the pump, never allowing it to release enough to create that area 25% Kobella Plumbing Heating Cooling offers coupons and specials for well pump installation and a variety of other services Here is a list of common mistakes, and things to look for when checking pump installation Some pump warranties are immediately voided if the unit is disassembled See Fig Remove the jet injector from the pump and try to clear the obstruction with a coat hanger or something similar As fluid recirculates in the pump and forces air out of the discharge chamber, it’s trying to create an area of low pressure If the pressure is low the tank may be filled with water or the air bladder is broken The pitcher pump should be on the outlet side of the pump Pump does not deliver water to full performance Water level in well is lower than estimated For wells deeper than 80’ a submersible pump system is recommended Option 1: Use Grundfos Product Center A very high percentage of calls we get regarding improper pump functionality are a result of improper installation or well failure A pressure switch is a standard feature This keeps the Flo-Jet from getting jammed up with dried up poop between jobs which can also bind the pump (ask me how Update Sta Rite Pump Parts • Impeller The pump will release this gas simply due to the action of the

sign of problems with electrical connections in the pressure switch Cleaning that should solve your problem to water) to deliver water We have a 40 gallon pressure tank First there are no working parts in the well The pump controller houses a capacitor to help start the pump Motors from ½ hp to 1½ hp can operate on either 115 or 230 volts Move the float up & down to see if it is hanging up somewhere You would want to shut off the power to the hot tub, open up the side panel and locate the circuit board If the fuses blow or overloads trip while the well pump is operating, check line amps Turn on the power system and observe for any air bubbles from the prime hole It is probably right where the suction pipe screws into the pump, so the heat and vibration make it get worse and worse Release of CO2 from the wine is a good thing; most kits recommend agitating the wine to help release this gas Check for Electrical Connection Problems A deep well jet package may be needed (over 25 ft Check the float level If the pressure still reads between 20 and 30 PSI, the problem is not with your air pressure bladder It happened both times while my wife was running a hot bath and I was running hot water in the kitchen I checked the new tank and pressure is perfect (18lbs) two below the start pressure The ejector or impeller is clogged Deep well jet systems are used when the water depth is between 20’ and 80’ Whichever situation you’re in, you can find the pump troubleshooting guide you’re looking for in 3 possible places: Grundfos Product Center; the Grundfos for Engineers Search Engine; and the Grundfos GO Remote app Always be sure to let your Flo-Jet back flush with its fresh water connection open for several minutes after you are finished pumping your tanks out Once done, replace the pump lid and set the pool return to open on the diverter valve so water can return to the pool Air Seeping Into The Suction Line Check all connections to be sure they are tight , are above ground within easy reach Get too far from the water source and the more power is dedicated to ‘sucking’ the water and less to discharging, reducing the flow rate When the water level in a well is far enough down (can't give an exact depth as the jet, pump and all other things are the variables) in the well, the pump can't push water to the surface without a certain amount of pressure at the jet 4 Excessive noise or vibration 16 2 In general, it can be stated that any troubleshooting exercise must be undertaken with an open mind and a principle desire to find a solution and fix the pump, not simply to assign blame We also have a Goulds "Jet Pump" Be sure water will pass through the discharge line into the drain 2 If the well pump or control switch makes no noise at all, just hums or clicks, and when the water pump simply does not run these diagnostic questions may help track down and repair the trouble Check the manual for the water level specifications of your pump Pump Rebuild
