Hot water from the end cap weep hole (direct-drive and hard-seal end caps)
Hot water at the end cap weep hole means high-pressure leakage has passed the end cap or check valve seal.
Safety first: Switch off the pump, release all pressure (open the on/off valve or bleed-down valve) and lock out before you open any high-pressure part. Never put a hand or tool near a running jet.
1Quick questionsYour answers put the most likely cause on top.
Is the water hot or cold?
2Check the causes, most likely first0 of 3 checked
01End cap seal failedMost likely
Leakage past the end cap seal heats the water.
How to check: Replace the end cap seal; check tie rods.
A cracked body leaks hot water from the bottom or side weep hole.
How to check: Inspect the check valve body for cracks when the end cap is off.
03Pressure set too highLess likely
Running above rated pressure overloads the end cap seal.
How to check: Check the pressure setting against the pump rating.
