SOLUTION
1. Apply Teflon tape to NPT threads and tighten piping (see section 6.3).
2. Replace o-rings. Spare Parts (SP-987).
3. Consult your local distributor for alternate materials.
1. Injection pressure cannot exceed pump’s maximum pressure. See
pump data plate.
2. Replace check valve components. Spare Parts (SP- 987).
3. Replace plunger seal. Spare Parts (SP- 987).
4. Check zero on pump/Re-zero pump (see Section 9.0).
5. Longer piping runs may create frictional losses sufficient to reduce
pump’s pressure rating. Consult factory for more information.
1. Turn on or plug in pump.
2. Disassemble pump and measure the resistance of the EPU across the
EPU wires (yellow). For 120v HH pump the coil resistance should be
82 ohm. For 240v HH pump resistance should be should be 330 ohm.
3. The pulser should be replaced if EPU checks out OK. Consult supplier
or factory.
1. Move injection point to a pressurized location or install a back
pressure valve.
2. If pressure at injection point is less than 200 psi (13.8 Bar)a back
pressure valve must be installed.
3. Replace pulser or resistor. Consult factory.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Piping not sealed.
2. Worn seal rings.
3. Solution attacking Liquid Handling
Assembly material.
Low Output or Failure 1. Pump’s maximum pressure rating
to Pump Against is exceeded by injection pressure.
Pressure
2. Worn Check Valves.
3. Worn Plunger Seal.
4. Incorrect stroke length.
5. Piping run on discharge may be too
long.
Failure to Run 1. Pump not turned on or plugged in.
2. EPU failure.
3. Pulser failure.
Excessive Pump Output 1. Syphoning. (Pumping downhill).
2. Little or no pressure at injection point.
3. Excessive strokes per minute.
