pump has electricity, but won't "pump"...please he
Hooked everything up today and turned on the pump, but it doesn't do anything. It's getting power, because it makes noise, but it doesn't move any water. What do I need to do?
The pump, or the motor?
Is the whine coming from the pump or the motor? I'd be willing to bet it's coming from the motor. If so, the only thing you can do is replace it or have it rebuilt. The bearings wear out after several years. There's a good possibility that your pump impeller is worn as well, so it's worth replacing it at the same time that you replace the motor. If the impeller is out of balance, it won't pump water efficiently, and it will cause premature bearing failure in the motor, so unless you know the impeller is perfectly good, go ahead and replace it at the same time you replace the motor.
