Got A Problem With Your Submersible Pump?

Are you currently using submersible pumps? And are you facing problems with it? Are these problems recurring? Have you found a solution to it? Well, don’t get worried just yet. We’re here to help you. As experts of an industry that deals with pumps like high head submersible pumps, raw water pumps, etc., we understand all kinds of problems that one might face.

Therefore, in this blog, we are going to help you out by discussing the problems that are related to a submersible pump. Here, we are going to be focusing on one of the most common problems that a submersible pump faces, the possible reasons behind it, how you can check it, and finally, how you can correct it! So, let’s get started:

One of the most common problems- When your submersible pump isn't starting!

Possible Reason One- It is possible that power is not being supplied to the submersible pump.

Check- Try placing a voltmeter across the power lines that are coming into the submersible pump. In this way, you will be able to check the power supply for the overload protection box.

Correct- If you find that there is no power to the box, then the power company should be consulted.

Possible Reason Two- It is possible that there is no overload protection.

Check- Try examining the circuit breaker as well as the fuses to the submersible pump for ensuring that they are being operated correctly.

Correct- If you find that the breaker has been tripped, then replace the blown fuses and reset it.

Possible Reason Three- It is possible that the pressure switch on the submersible pump is damaged.

Check- Try checking the voltage across the switch, keeping in mind that the submersible pump pressure switch is in a closed position. If you find that the voltage drop is at the same level as compared to the line voltage, then it is obvious that the switch isn’t making contact.

Correct- In such a case, the contact points should be cleaned. Also, the pressure switch should be replaced for the given submersible pump. 

Just like this, there are more problems that a submersible pump faces. Sometimes, a submersible pump will not stop running, sometimes it starts up too much, and sometimes it works but would deliver little or no water.
