7.9 The electric pump stops, and then rotates
in the wrong direction
Cause
There is a leakage in one or both of the follow-
ing components:
• The suction pipe
• The foot valve or the check valve
There is air in the suction pipe.
7.10 The pump starts up too frequently
Cause
There is a leakage in one or both of the fol-
lowing components:
• The suction pipe
• The foot valve or the check valve
There is a ruptured membrane or no air
pre-charge in the pressure tank.
7.11 The pump vibrates and generates too
much noise
Cause Remedy
Pump cavitation Reduce the required flow rate by partially closing
the on-off valve downstream from the pump. If the
problem persists check the operating conditions of
the pump (for example height difference, flow re-
sistance, liquid temperature).

• Bleed the air
• Check that the mechanical seal is
not leaking.
• Check the suction pipe for perfect
tightness.
• Replace any valves that are leaking.
• Decrease the suction lift
• Increase the diameter of the suction
pipe
