Troubleshooting
General Notes:
• Do not pump liquids containing ferrous metal fines.
• If magnets decouple, stop pump immediately. Operating the
pump with the magnets decoupled will eventually weaken
the magnets.

No or Insufficient Discharge
• Air leaks in suction piping
• Pump not primed
• System head higher than anticipated
• Closed valve
• Viscosity or specific gravity too high
• Motor too large for magnet coupling rating (magnets un-
coupled)
• Suction lift too high or insufficient NPSH
• Clogged suction line or impeller vanes
• ·Motor rotation incorrect (correct rotation when viewed from
the fan end is clockwise)
Insufficient Pressure
• Air or gas in liquid
• Impeller diameter too small
• System head lower than anticipated
• Motors speed insufficient (too low) or motor rotation incor-
rect (correct rotation when viewed from the fan end is
clockwise)
Loss of Prime
• Leak in suction piping
• Foot valve or suction opening not submerged enough
• Foot valve too small or leaking
• Air or gas in liquid
