What to do if Your Sprinkler Pump Not Pumping Water

A sprinkler is a device that sprays water in a pattern to irrigate land or to extinguish fires. Sprinklers are often used in agriculture, but are also commonly used in residential and commercial settings to keep lawns and gardens healthy and to prevent fires from spreading. If you notice your sprinkler pump not pumping water, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the issue.

A sprinkler pump is a device that helps water move through the sprinkler system. It is typically located in a shed or garage near the garden hose faucet. The pump uses electricity to power a motor that turns an impeller, or series of blades, inside the pump. This causes water to move through the pipes located in your garden or lawn.

There are a few reasons why your sprinkler pump might not be pumping water. One possibility is that the pump is not getting enough electricity. Another possibility is that there is a clog somewhere in the pump or in the pipes leading to or from the pump. If you notice that your sprinkler pump isn’t pumping water, there are a few different things that you can try to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the sprinkler pump not pumping water.

1) Check the electrical supply

One of the first things you should check is whether your sprinkler pump is getting enough electricity. This can be done by checking the pump’s circuit breaker, which should be located in your home’s electrical panel. If the breaker has been switched off or tripped, you’ll need to reset it. Once the breaker is reset, turn on the pump and see if it starts working.

2) Check for a clog in the pump or pipes

If your sprinkler pump is not getting enough electricity, it may be due to a clog in the pump or in the pipes that lead to and from the pump. Check for any kind of debris, including dirt, pebbles, or other small objects, that may be blocking the flow of water. If you find a clog, you’ll need to remove it before your pump will start working properly again.

3) Call a professional for assistance

If you’ve checked the electrical supply and are still having issues with your sprinkler pump, or if you’re unable to find and remove the clog yourself, it may be time to call in a professional. A plumber or sprinkler system installer can help you determine where the problem lies and fix it so that your pump is working properly again.

While there are many things that can cause your sprinkler pump to experience issues, there are also several things that you can do yourself to troubleshoot and fix the problem. If your pump isn’t working properly, check the electrical supply and look for any clogs in the pump or pipes. 

If you’re still having difficulties, consider calling in a professional to help you diagnose and fix the issue. With some time, effort, and research, you should be able to get your sprinkler pump back up and running in no time.
