A pump losing prime may not have a pump problem at all. Air leaks, low water level and suction-side restrictions are common places to investigate first.

Electric motor overheating often becomes more noticeable in summer. Higher ambient temperatures leave less margin for problems with ventilation, loading and cooling.

Cooling tower pump cavitation may become more noticeable as summer cooling demand increases. Noise, vibration and reduced performance can all point to a suction-side problem.

If you have an irrigation pump losing pressure, do not immediately assume the pump needs replacing. Start by checking these seven common causes.

At 10:00 a.m., building water pressure seems fine. At noon, multiple tenants are using water at once and suddenly the complaints begin. Fixtures are slow. Upper floors experience weak pressure. Water flow is inconsistent. Commercial booster pump problems often become noticeable when building demand reaches its highest point. It is easy to assume the booster pump itself is failing. Sometimes that is exactly what is happening. But pressure problems can also be caused by sensors
