Why won’t my paddle board pump work?
Probably the hose attachment to the pump is loose. I had the exact same problem where it wouldn’t go above a certain level. Tighten the connection between the hose and the pump and try again. Look at the factory specifications for your pump and ensure that it is receiving the correct electrical power supply in order to work properly. Ensure that all electrical wiring is in good condition, that there are no loose connections and that the electrical current is reaching your pump in the first place.The lack of pressure buildup is caused by a lack of lubricant in the pump or unevenly distributed lubricant. If the pump won’t build pressure all you need to do is add some sort of lubricant, like Vaseline. Unscrew the top of the pump and add a glob of lubricant to the cylindrical piece on the inside.

Why is my pump motor not starting?
If the pump has proper volts at the motor but doesn’t run, the motor may be bad or it may need brushes. If it doesn’t have proper volts, check the current flow from the battery and whether a circuit breaker is tripped or a fuse is blown and needs replacing. More than likely, the piston and seal will be dry and dirty. Remove the piston O-ring and clean all the dirt off the piston and piston O-ring and apply a very light coating of grease. Reassemble the pump.

More than likely, the piston and seal will be dry and dirty. Remove the piston O-ring and clean all the dirt off the piston and piston O-ring and apply a very light coating of grease. Reassemble the pump. Use a screw driver to remove the screws from the top of the pump. You can then pull the pump apart. Check for any dirt or sand that can be cleaned out. Re-lubricate the pump open the top and spread a thin layer of oil/grease on the gasket and the tube.
