What to Check: Excessive suction lift
in system.
Corrective Action: For lifts exceeding
20 feet (6 meters), illing the pumping
chambers with liquid will prime the
pump in most cases.
What to Check: Excessive flooded
suction in system.
Corrective Action: For flooded
conditions exceeding 10 feet (3 meters)
of liquid, install a back pressure device.
What to Check: System head exceeds
air supply pressure.
Corrective Action: Increase the
inlet air pressure to the pump. Most
diaphragm pumps are designed for 1:1
pressure ratio at zero low.
What to Check: Air supply pressure or
volume exceeds system head.
Corrective Action: Decrease inlet
air pressure and volume to the
pump as calculated on the published
PERFORMANCE CURVE. Pump is
cavitating the luid by fast cycling.

PURGING THE CHAMBERS OF AIR
CAN BE DANGEROUS! Contact the
Technical Services before performing
this procedure. Any model with top-
ported discharge will reduce or eliminate
problems with entrained air.
If your pump continues to perform
below your expectations, contact your
local Technical Services for a service
evaluation.
