FAQ
Common pump problems and solutions with the Wallace MPEP-5000 automatic surface-mounted pump
Why won’t my Wallace pump start?
If the pump doesn’t start, it’s usually due to a lack of water supply, air trapped in the suction line, or a tripped power breaker. These issues prevent the press control from activating.
Check your water source, reset the breaker, and ensure suction lines are airtight. Once supply is restored and air removed, this in-built run-dry protection pump should restart normally.
Why is my Wallace pump noisy or vibrating?
Excessive noise or vibration is often caused by air in the suction line, loose fittings, cavitation (air bubbles collapsing), or poor mounting. Left unresolved, this can reduce performance and wear parts.
Bleed air from the suction line, secure fittings, place the multi-outlet home booster pump on a firm base, and ensure a steady water supply. Correct installation eliminates most noise issues.
Why is my pump losing pressure or flow?
Drops in pressure or flow are typically caused by a blocked inlet, dirty filters, or restrictions in the pipework. In some cases, the water source may not be delivering enough to meet demand.
Clean or replace filters regularly, check pipework for blockages, and confirm an adequate water supply. With clear lines, the Wallace booster pump for low-pressure system maintains steady pressure and flow across multiple outlets.
Why is my pump overheating or tripping the power?
Overheating or tripping can occur if the motor is overloaded, ventilation around the pump is poor, or if there are electrical supply fluctuations.
The MPEP-5000 high-efficiency water booster pump features thermal overload protection to prevent damage. Ensure good airflow around the pump, verify the power supply is stable, and check that plumbing restrictions aren’t causing excess strain.
Why is my pump leaking?
Worn seals, damaged gaskets, or extended periods of dry running usually cause leaks. Continuous leaks reduce system efficiency and can lead to water damage.
Inspect seals and gaskets regularly, replacing them as needed. The automatic run-dry shutoff helps protect internal seals, but leaks should be fixed promptly to avoid more serious problems.
Why does my pump cycle on and off too often?
Frequent cycling is often due to small plumbing leaks, incorrect pressure control settings, or a mismatch between pump size and water demand.
Check for leaks in your system, confirm control settings are correct, and ensure the MPEP-5000 constant-pressure water pump capacity suits your needs. Installing a small pressure tank can also reduce unnecessary cycling.
What if my pump won’t prime?
Priming problems occur when the suction line contains air, the joints aren’t airtight, or the water level is too low. Without proper priming, the pump cannot draw water.
Fill the suction line with water, tighten all joints, and confirm adequate water supply. Keep suction lift within recommended limits (up to 5 m) for smooth operation.
Can air bubbles damage the impeller?
Yes. Prolonged cavitation — when vapor bubbles form and collapse inside the pump — can erode the impellers and reduce efficiency.
Ensure adequate water supply, keep suction lift as low as possible, and avoid restrictions at the inlet. The MPEP-5000’s multistage stainless steel impellers are durable, but cavitation should be prevented for long service life.
Can the Wallace MPEP-5000 booster pump run both the house and garden sprinklers?
The automatic Wallace pump for above-ground tanks delivers strong flow and pressure for medium to large homes and can comfortably run multiple household outlets alongside light irrigation. For extensive gardens or commercial sprinkler systems, upgrading to the MPEP-6000 is recommended.
