Grundfos STP 2 fault 9
Pompa gürültülü çalışıyor (universal head pumps)
Shower pumpWhat it means
Pump running noisily on universal head pumps.
Likely causes
- Pompanın montaj yüzeyinde titreşim var
- Hot-water supply taken directly from top of hot-water cylinder
- Entrapped air causing airlocks in supply pipe
- Air not thoroughly purged from system
- Undersized tank causing insufficient supply
- Incorrect outlet height causing hot-water-only delivery
- Outlet positioned below mains inlet causing air ingress
- Non-return valve fitted incorrectly in inlet pipe causing restricted flow or pump damage
- Undersized pipework
- Pipes routed under floor causing air traps
- Other outlets fitted in inlet pipes
- Shared (non-dedicated) hot/cold supplies
- Blanked-off pipes
- Restrictions in flexible hoses
- Unsecured pipework
- Leak in system
- Drip in system
- Air trapped in pump
- Non-return valve incorrectly fitted in inlet pipe
- Direct mains connection causing pressure issues or pump damage
- Jointing compounds/tape causing blockage or leaks
- Shared supply pipe causing air ingress or reduced flow
- Missing surrey flange causing air in hot water supply
- Mechanical stress on pump from rigid pipe connection
- Leaks from use of jointing compound instead of correct hose connections
- Leak causing loss of tank air pressure
- Leaks due to under-tightened or incorrectly connected hoses
- Mechanical strain on pump from misaligned pipework
- Leaks due to insufficient hose insertion depth
- Blocked strainers common on initial pump installation or new buildings due to jointing compounds, tapes, flux and debris flushed through system
- Debris ingress into pump causing blockage or damage if strainer omitted
- Low flow rates from cistern filling causing frequent pump cycling
- Solder joint heat damaging plastic pump components
- Air pockets from incorrectly routed pipework
- Restricted or kinked flexible hoses
- Additional outlet fittings on inlet pipework causing incorrect flow switch operation
Where to start
- Check hot-water supply connection point on cylinder
- Inspect for airlocks in supply pipe
- Purge all air from system

Safety: Isolate power and water, and prove dead before you open or test the pump.
