God I've had a right game today trying to get my pump to work. Got to my first job then realised that there was still some ice in pipes etc. So waits an hour or so check pipes again and di which were ok.
The pump works but no water comes out. Any ideas?
-
Air lock?
-
Maybe its having a difficulty priming
-
Strange, but when I swap hoses round everything works.
-
maybe you have the pump the wrong way round.
-
I had trouble this morning too..........I haven't had an issue in the past but recently I'm getting water delivered in spits and spurts I assumed an airlock as my system has been prone to them but I find an airlock quite easy to overcome by turning the pressure up and blowing it through.
Then I only seemed to struggle getting water through when the pole was extended to 3rd floor? Is this a sign the pumps or battery have not got the umph anymore to deliver the water too high???? Anyone?
-
that sounds like power problem if its a height.the pump is not able to build up pressure could be battery or the pump but I would think battery.
-
Maybe time for a new battery?
-
If you have a pump controller with pressure setting, then you may need to increase the cutoff pressure.

hello i had this pump worked but nothing coming out pipes were frozen but when they melted still no water took of shure flow filter and it was frozen defrosted it then worked ok hope that helps
-
ive just posted a question about my pump very little comming out on full pelt then sorted its self out its a new set up very odd ???
-
just been over to supliers about my pump for them to look at it and it turns out it had water ingress in side motor housing thus it making a dodgey noise and poor preformance tried greesing bearings but to far gone new pump too, so they replaced foc so fingers crossed back out tomoz ;D
