If a pump is operating with reduced flow, what could be a potential issue?

If a pump is operating with reduced flow, a potential issue is likely related to a clogged intake filter. When the intake filter becomes obstructed, it restricts the amount of water that can enter the pump, leading to a decrease in flow rate. This blockage can be due to various debris, sediment, or biological growth, which can accumulate over time, especially in wastewater applications.

Identifying a clogged intake filter as a potential cause of reduced flow is important for system maintenance. Regular inspection and cleaning of filters can help alleviate this issue, ensuring optimal performance of the pump. Proper maintenance practices will help prevent flow issues and ensure the system operates efficiently.
