Sprinkler Pump — FAQs
Why does my sprinkler pump keep losing prime?
Common causes include suction leaks, check valve failure, or low water levels in the source. We’ll inspect the suction line and repair or replace faulty components.
Why is my pump so loud?
Noisy pumps often mean worn bearings, cavitation from air leaks, or debris in the impeller. We can diagnose and repair the issue.
How long should a sprinkler pump last?
With regular maintenance, most irrigation pumps last 7–10 years. Seal replacement and proper winterization extend pump life.
Do you replace pumps if mine is beyond repair?
Yes. If your pump is unrepairable or parts are obsolete, we can recommend and install a replacement unit sized for your system.

Pump isn’t running at all?
For starters, here’s what to do if the pump isn’t running at all:
Check your circuit breaker: Sprinkler pump motors typically run on 115 or 230 volts of AC electricity, and sometimes the issue might be as simple as replacing a blown fuse or resetting your breaker. Make sure that you have turned off the power to your electrical box, and then visually inspect the condition of the wiring and fuses or breakers.
Pump motor voltage is too low: Check the voltage of the pump motor when it is trying to run, and then compare that with the base voltage that is supposed to be delivered to the motor when it is at peak efficiency. If the voltage at your motor is more than 5 percent less than the specified base voltage, there might be a loose connection with your wiring that needs to be adjusted.
Bad motor: If you have inspected some of these other electrical components and find that your motor is still not running effectively enough for your sprinklers to operate normally, the issue might be with the motor itself. If this is the case, the motor will either need to be repaired or replaced.

Pump only runs temporarily?
Pump only runs temporarily?
If your pump seems to work fine, but then shuts itself off after running for a short period of time, the issue might lie within the electrical wiring. Usually when this happens it is because the wiring that is being used to power the system is incorrectly sized and not a heavy enough gauge, and is therefore unable to fulfill the demands of the system.
Motor is running but no water is being delivered?
If you can hear the motor running but see that no water is coming out, there might be a leak or hole that is allowing air to enter somewhere along the suction pipe. In order to deliver water to your sprinkler consistently, this suction pipe has to be airtight. If your pipe is in good condition but it is not down far enough and is not making proper contact with your water source, it won’t be able to effectively suck the water into the pipe. Alternatively, your pipe might be down too far and buried in dirt.
