Crane Pumps & Systems FAQ

What Crane pump equipment is featured?

The page covers centrifugal, end-suction, self-priming, and submersible wastewater equipment, along with packaged systems. Different models serve different fluid and installation requirements.

Can Crane pumps serve both water and wastewater applications?

The product range includes both, but a clean-water pump should not be assumed suitable for sewage. Select for solids, materials, and the actual duty.

What should a wastewater pumping package include?

Define pumps, controls, level sensing, alarms, valves, and required standby capacity. Confirm the supplied scope and the site work needed for a complete installation.

When is a self-priming pump useful?

It can be considered when an above-liquid installation must establish suction lift. Review allowable lift, priming procedure, and piping conditions for the exact model.

What should I record if my pump will not start?

Note control status, alarm codes, liquid level, and whether the problem affects one or multiple units. Electrical and internal inspections should be performed by qualified personnel.

Can Process & Power evaluate recurring lift-station alarms?

Yes. Provide alarm history and operating details so the review can include level devices, controls, valves, piping, and pump performance.

How do I size a submersible pump?

Use required flow, total discharge head, liquid characteristics, and the operating cycle. Include elevation, pipe friction, and the lowest expected liquid level when reviewing the pump curve.

Why is my pump running without lowering the liquid level?

Inflow may exceed capacity, or the discharge may be restricted. Worn components, an obstructed inlet, air locking, or incorrect rotation can also reduce pumping performance.

Why does a submersible pump keep clogging?

Solids, fibers, and debris may exceed the pump's handling capability. Review the actual waste stream, inlet conditions, and hydraulic selection before assuming a larger motor will solve the problem.

Why is my pump tripping its breaker or overload?

Obstructions, motor faults, cable damage, or supply problems may be involved. Have qualified personnel investigate the fault; repeated resetting can conceal a developing equipment problem.

Can a submersible pump operate with the motor exposed?

The answer depends on its cooling arrangement and duty rating. Check minimum liquid level and operating limits for the exact model rather than assuming all submersible pumps can run uncovered.

How often should submersible pumps be inspected?

Follow the manufacturer's schedule and consider solids, runtime, and service history. Include cables, seals, hydraulic components, level controls, and alarms in the maintenance plan.

What can cause frequent starting and stopping?

Float placement, changing inflow, check-valve leakage, or insufficient working volume may contribute. Review the control sequence and permitted starts per hour before changing the installation.

Can a damaged submersible pump be rebuilt?

Inspection should assess the motor, seals, cable entry, and hydraulic parts. Compare repair cost and downtime with replacement, especially if the fluid conditions have changed.

How can I get local support for Crane Pumps & Systems?

Contact Process & Power at (901) 362-5500 with your location, equipment identification, and application or service concern. The team can review selection, parts, and service options for your needs.

What should I send when requesting a quote?

Include the required duty, fluid or process details, operating conditions, utilities, and installation dimensions. For existing equipment, add nameplate photos, model and serial numbers, and a description of the problem or planned change.
