The importance of regularly checking your sprinkler pump cannot be overstated. This is because a sprinkler pump not pumping water will result to many problems that you may not even be aware of. If your pump is not functioning properly, it will result in brown lawns and wilted plants, which can lead to a lot of frustration and wasted time. So, you need to do regular maintenance and troubleshooting of your sprinkler pump to ensure that it is working properly.

Unfortunately, there are times when a sprinkler pump may not be working properly. There are a few possible causes of pump not working properly, including a clogged filter, a faulty pump, or simply forgetting to plug in the pump.

Luckily, there are several steps you can take to identify and fix the problem. We’ve compiled a list of ways you can do to fix it:

1. Check that the pump is actually turned on. Make sure that it is plugged in and that the switch is turned to the “on” position.
2. Inspect the filter. A clogged filter can prevent water from flowing through the pump. If the filter looks dirty or clogged, it may need to be cleaned or replaced.
3. Check the electrical connections. If the pump is not getting power, it may be because the plug or wiring is faulty.
4. Check to see if the pump has enough water pressure. If the water pressure is too low, it may not be able to push water through the pump system and keep your lawn looking green.
5. Call a professional. If the pump still isn’t working, it may be a good idea to call in a professional for help. They will be able to diagnose the problem and get your pump working again in no time.
