Possible Causes
Pump installed on uneven or resonant surface, Rigid piping with no alignment to Kripsol ports, Incorrect pump orientation, Undersized suction or discharge lines
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the installation.
- Check base: Ensure the Kripsol pump is mounted on a solid, level pad. Add rubber isolation pads under the base to reduce transmitted vibration.
- Align piping: Loosen unions and realign piping so that it mates naturally with the pump ports without forcing. Add flexible couplings if necessary.
- Verify pipe sizing: Compare installed pipe diameters to Kripsol installation recommendations. If suction lines are too small, consider upgrading to larger diameter to reduce noise and cavitation.
- Secure pipes: Add supports to long pipe runs to prevent them from acting as sounding boards.
