Title: help pump not working ?
Post by: sam peafield on March 22, 2009, 10:06:26 am

Great,

Got myself plenty of customers to start cleaning next week, just checking everythings still ok with equipment and  OH NO!

I have omnipole set up, the 50 litre red trolley has got water leaking big time out of the pump (if thats what it is) under the battery it appears to be coming from one of the joints i have tightened everything up but still same problem, can anyone PLEASE PLEASE, help/advise is there anything i can do or does it sound like i need a new pump and if so where can i get one from like NOW. The system has been stood for few months now battery seems fine on trolley though after a good charge.

You ain't got much chance of getting one on a Sunday mate :(

Put a pic up and someone might be able to help you

Ringing Omnipole first thing Monday morning is your best bet.  You won't find these pumps on any high street retail outlet.

If you're that desperate then put a pic up and it may be repairable ???

I am a supplier, but do not supply FloJet pumps for Omnitrollies. A new pump would cost about £80 -130 depending on which model it is.

i know its a bit late on sunday, but tomorrow first thing, pop to a local caravan / camping store, they will have a small sub pump, plop that in the top of your onmitrolley and connect some hose pipe upto your hose pipe

it'll mean you can work the day or 2 till a new pump arrives

from what Jeff has posted on the other thread, its a pad with a mist spray ?  ?

would it work for inside conserv roofs, well on flat surfaces i guess it would

i might have missed something ( and i didnt go to the show, thus i havent seen it ), but its just a flat pad ( like you get for laminate floors and a spray ) alot like the FLASH mops they sell, couldnt you just take the head of the FLASH mop and use that ? ? ? ?
