20 Most Recent Utilitech 2-HP Irrigation Pump UTP20P1 Questions & Answers

If it is just the plug to close a hole, a standard pipe plug from a hardware store will fit. Measure the hole and ask the store clerk to help. They are very inexpensive, so if you get sizes close to your measurement you should be able to get the right one. Be sure not to cross thread (put in at a bad angle and use pipe sealing tape).

There are a few things that could cause this problem to come up. Pretty much all of them do require taking the sump pump apart a bit though. I would suggest having a professional come to help you if you don't have much experience with this kind of work. Hopefully you can get this resolved fairly quickly. http://www.rite-waywaterproofing.com/sump_pump_install.php

Are you trying to view it, once it has already been installed? If that is the case, you will have some trouble. You will need to call a professional (preferably the installer) to come help you. You might even need a snake camera. Elisa Jed ' http://www.wellservicetampabay.com/Pump_Repair_Brooksville_FL.html

my pump does not hold pressure when the water is running cuts on at 20psi and the pressure keep droping.

I do not know your system however it sounds like it is on a well system. If so the pressure tank is water bound and needs to be drained. There is a air regulator that needs repair or replacement. I am just taking a guess.

Hi Tata, There is no match appearing across the web for that identification number of your pump. There may be character missing or swapped. Please verify the support information.

Not exactly sure of what you are looking for gut go to: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Strainer-Lid-Cap-and-O-Ring-for-Utilitech-0313509-0313504-69010-001-/360399194824 I think that is what you are looking for.

It sounds like a shallow well pump. Normally they would be set to turn on at 20 PSIG and off at 40 PSIG.

Clockwise,

It would probably be easier just to get a new pump. There is two flanges that mate, one on the motor one on the pump. I believe it is called a "C" face on the motor but I am not sure. You can get replacement motors with this flange.

Best solution is to replace it.

You can go to: http://pdf.lowes.com/installationguides/819161011011_install.pdf and get the part number from the manual. It is not in English however there are drawings etc. Also stop at your local LOWS store.

Sounds line a problem with the water source. A lot of information is needed to answer your question such as model number etc.

Make sure it's getting water to it.

The pump pressure switch should be checked to see what the ON-OFF pressure is set at. Typically the pressure switch is set for 20-40 psi, or 30-50 psi. The pressure tank should be purged as well. With the pump OFF, and the tank drained of water, the air valve on the tank should read approximately 2 psi below the "on pressure". So if the system operates at 20-40, the tank should be pre-charged to 18 psi. If water escapes from the air valve, the internal bladder in the tank is ruptured, and the tank needs to be replaced. A tire air gauge is used to measure the pressure in the tank after the water is emptied from the tank.. A tire air pump or a compressor is used to charge the tank. if a compressor is used, be careful not to over-inflate the tank, as this may cuase the bladder to rupture.

If you have a bladder - type water pressure tank, it probably needs to be purged of air and then pre-charged to 18 psi. There may be directions on the side of the tank. Turn the water Pump off. Drain the tank of water. Check the pressure of the tank at the air valve on top of the tank. The pre-charged pressure of the bladder is set to 2 psi below the lower pressure set by the pressure switch, so in your case, the low end pressure is 20 psi. Therefore, the pre-charge pressure of the tank is 18 psi. If you set the pressure switch to operate at 30 -50 psi, then the pre-charge pressure would be 28psi., etc. Once the pre-charge pressure is set, turn the pump back on. ( don't forget to close the drain valve). The system should cycle normally. A tire gauge works to check the tank pressure. An air compressor may be used to charge the tank, but be careful not to over- inflate the bladder. A tire air pump may also be used. Hope this helps....
