7 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Probable Cause Recommended Action Pump will not start. No water. Check required flow of liquid is available to the fittings of approx. 0.6 l/min. Water supply. Check water supply from mains and all stopcocks are open. Electrical supply. Check wiring connections. If flow exists inline with requirements - check that all electric switches are on. Is the correct fuse fitted? Check circuit breaker is set. Reed switch is faulty and low water demand.
