whatsoever.

boxer 421, psi just died a death this morning, well last night. guessing its probably a blockage in the orifices.

or its broke.

who's the daddy

pressure build up on off switch in head of pump sticking, took pump apart, loosened the switch a few times, put it back together again and all the kings horses, ha ha. and they said it couldn't be fixed.

When you said no psi, I thought it was the solution pump you were talking about, sounds like its the transfer pump?. You ran out of water!!
