Possible Causes

Loose drain plugs, Missing or hardened gaskets, Cross‑threaded plugs, Freeze damage to housing threads

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the pump and close valves to prevent water flow while working.

  • Tighten plugs: Use an appropriate tool to gently tighten the drain plugs. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the housing.
  • Inspect gaskets: Remove the plugs and check the small O‑rings or flat gaskets. Replace if they are flattened, cracked, or missing.
  • Check housing: Inspect the threaded holes in the pump housing for cracks. If cracked, the housing may need replacement.

After reassembly, run the pump and verify that no drips are present at the drain plugs.
