• Check valve seat. The pump check valve seat attaches to the pump housing and holds the check valve in place.

Troubleshooting tips for fixing your UST shallow well pump when it won't pump water

• Check for prime. Stop the pump and disconnect electrical power. Remove the priming plug and see if water is in the priming hole. Re-prime the pump if the priming hole is dry.
• Check the foot valve or strainer for clogs.
• Check the pump impeller for debris and clean the impeller housing if necessary.
• Check water level in the well. You may need a deep well pump if water level is more than 25 feet below the surface.
