Remedy
Provide suitable ventilation in the
environment where the pump is
installed.
Calibrate at a current value suitable
for the motor absorption at full load.
Change any worn bearings.
Invert the connection of two supply
wires.
Replace the intake pipe with one
with a larger diameter.
Clean the foot valve and the intake
pipe.
Check the suction pipe, repeat the
priming operations.
Correct the inclination of the intake
pipe.
Remove clog. Replace the impeller
if weared down.
Replace the pipe with one with a
larger diameter.

Repair or replace the faulty valve.
Reduce the intake height or check
for load losses.
Reduce the flow rate.
Check the state of wear of the
bearings.
