Today, we will talk to you about why the fire pump will suddenly stop. What are the reasons?

Action: Check the packing or seal and replace as needed. Check that the lubrication is normal.

2. Insufficient suction head when pumping hot or volatile liquids.

Action: Increase the suction head and consult the manufacturer.

3. The bottom valve or inlet tube is not deeply immersed.

Action: It is recommended to consult the manufacturer for the correct immersion depth and use a baffle to eliminate eddy currents.

Action: Check the existing net head. If the inlet line is too small or too long, it will cause a large friction loss.

5. The impeller or pipeline is blocked.

Ways to improve: check for obstacles and clean up in time.

6. There is a leak in the air or inlet line.

Action: Check the inlet line for air pockets or air leaks.
