SOURCE: shallow well pump made by wayne well is 22 feet deep pump runs no

Inspect the jet thru the suction pipe or the removable plug if the pipe isn't inline with the center of the impeller. The jet is very small, and easy to get something stuck in there. Then prime and leave the pressure pipe closest to the outlet slightly loose to let air out. Once you get good pressure you can tighten the pipe. Sometimes you have to prime more than once to get all the air out of the well pipe.

Check the suction line for leaks. No leaks-how about the
checkvalve? If it's okey, open and fill the priming port with fuel to full level. and start the pump. What happened? Send us your e-mail comments, and may the Lord Almighty bless you.

Shallow water pump keeps stopping

new pump --not big enough for the job
old pump --motor windings problem, faulty start run capacitor
I suspect that as the motor is 1/2 hp if will run good when there is a need for water but under pressure the pressure switch is set to high so the motor overloads and gets hot

I need a motor for flotec shallow well pump unit #FP7100-08.The motor #S48D02AO3.WHERE CAN I FIND ONE AND HOW MUCH.Thank you Greg

Save yourself time and effort, replace the entire unit. I speak as a guy who has lived with a well for more than 35 years.

If you put a new motor on a old pump what do you have? A new $300.00 motor on a $worthless old pump. Spend the $350.00 and replace it.
