I would make sure you have a vent on tank. I noticed on mine with a gravity feed it would drain very slow so I installed a breather. Worked great after that.

Not sure what the problem is! Are you hooked up to a fuel supply that is gravity fed? If not it may need to be primed but not sure.

Sorry, I can't help either. I use mine as gravity feed and it works perfect,without any issues at all.

Can't help. Mine is gravity feed which is sufficient supply even when pulling a load and averaging 8 to 10 mpg. Sorry.

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.

I'm not an expert in this but I can tell you that the pump on my system is very quiet. There is a pressure switch that tells the pump when your tank is full. Either you haven't ran it enough to fill the tank or the pressure switch is not working (or needs adjustment). Have you tried iSpring customer service? They may be able to help

This is a vacuum pump - it just pulls air. It sounds like you need an air compressor, which has a tank on it.

Chances are you have air in the line for your input. Try either filling the canister up with water beforehand or use the hose you use to fill your tank to force water into the input once you'be turned it on.

The old pump that I replaced had to be filled. I filled it with oil but it still didn't work. The new had no place for oil and appears to be sealed. I have run it for 30+ hours and it is still working great. I still question if it could be filled but assume that it doesn't need oil out of the box.

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

Dont think so. Water should be pumping out. Otherwise, pump motor will burn up. Make sure the water level in your tank is high enough.

Mike, had this issue once with my old pump, I accidentally switched the L1 and L2 wires. Mark them first ( for the future) and swap them. I also heard to make sure the internal ground and the external copper ground is attached as well. Hope this helps, once you dial in the timers this pump is pretty awesome.

That has never happened to me and I don't know what the problem is. Perhaps there is a vacuum in the fuel tank and if you uncap the fuel tank and equalize the air pressure before refueling it should work.

1st and foremost! Remove all power supply to the pump. If it is grounded to the body of the pump you become the ground! You will have to remove the pump from the pit and replace the switch. You can replace it while its in the pit but it is easier to pull the pump out and have a bench to work on it and do it right. Check and make sure the rubber boot on the switch seals properly. You will need to make sure that after installing the new switch that it is water tight. If not, it will fail again. I hope this helps. If you have any problems please feel free to contact me.

I bought the iSpring system that included an electric pump. There are similar pumps available on Amazon, Ebay etc.

Reprime your pump , check the filterto see if it has any obstructionin ,or you may have a bad pump losing poweror vacuum.

Same here, after about 3 trys I made sure the tank was full and seated down good, turned it on, then I heard sucking noises and the pump started to prime itself. This happens in 5 seconds, don't leave the pump running, shut it off and try again. Good Luck

I have had two and both worked well. Is it compatible with the model pump that you are using? Are you sure it is plugged in properly?

Check to make sure you are not out of fuel?Check to make sure the fuel valve is turned on?Make sure the battery is charged enough to crank it over fast enough to start it?Did you put Oil in it before trying to start it?

Could be a faulty pump. I would either return the pump for replacement, or buy a new pump. They are inexpensive. I have not had any problems with mine. I would alos recommend buying an external power supply like Pyramid Model PS-4KX. I have one of these and I never have any troubles.
