Q: Why is my irrigation pump not pulling water?

• <div><p>Why is my irrigation pump not pulling water?</p><p>There are a few reasons your irrigation pump isn&rsquo;t pulling in water. You could have a clogged suction filter. You may have not properly primed your pump so air got stuck somewhere in the system. Your pump also won&rsquo;t work properly if it has faulty or damaged pump components, like a pump motor or pressure switch.</p></div>
