Title: Prochem Blazer not pulling chemical
Post by: clive ware on April 28, 2014, 08:21:04 pm
My Blazer primes perfectly but will not pull any chemicals once I turn the chemical flow valve to the `on` position and pull the wand trigger. saving me a fortune in chemicals but would be nice to have it working. Any ideas anyone.
Cheers

Either your chemical selector valve is defective and only allowing prime or off

Or the metering valve is knackered

Have you tried turning the metering valve off zero, Clive? - it helps ;)

Chemical check valve will be stuck open.
No 22 on the picture, similar to the check valves in your pump

If it was 25 it wouldn't prime, if a check valve is stuck open it will flow too much chemical.

Bob sounds like either your diaphragm is split forcing chemical directly into the pump head or the 3/8th check valve behind the solution outlet has failed allowing chemical to back feed into the system.
Clive it could be the diaphragm gone all gooey (technical term) something under the check valves or air being drawn into the chemical system through a loose or split fitting.
Hope this helps
