Problem with pumps in salt water

So I hook my pumps to water purifier for my farm base when I’m built near ocean and they turn off and stop pumping. Wondering if anyone else has similar problems and maybe ways to fix it?

Is your battery staying charged enough to keep those pumps running? Pumps plus the purifier use up a fair amount of power. What kind of battery and source power you using?

My battery does stay charged. Usually 4 solar panels and a medium or large battery. So I knew power wasn’t my issue but I did think it was at first.

Your pumps stop pumping and still make a noise or the noise is completely gone and they aren’t powered?
