Possible Causes
Pump not securely bolted to base, Uneven mounting surface, Air in system causing surging, Worn motor bearings or imbalanced impeller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before tightening mounts or touching the pump.
- Secure mounting: Ensure the Saci pump base is firmly bolted to a solid, level pad. Tighten loose mounting bolts.
- Check for air: Prime the pump fully and bleed air from the filter tank to reduce surging.
- Inspect impeller: If vibration persists, disassemble the wet end and check the impeller for broken vanes or debris causing imbalance.
- Add vibration pads: Install rubber pads under the pump base to dampen transmitted vibration.
Severe vibration combined with noise may indicate bearing failure; consider motor replacement.
