Title: pump
Post by: david_green on August 28, 2020, 04:21:05 pm

hi everyone,
Ive just taken delivery of a new pump and motor for my airflex turbo.
Ive fitted it all and changed the regulator pin. Ive started it up with pressure down. I,m getting no water throught the primer hose. But there is water coming throught the return hose inside the tank ie there is some turbulence. Ive tried pulling  water through the primer hose with vacuum hose to no avail. Cleansmart is now closed can you help?

Have you tried turning the regulator all the way up and down?

It’s a long shot but check the clean tank filter for debris and make sure it’s not pushed on the pipe too far so the pipe is touching the inside if the filter mesh.  It’s a long shot but it takes 60 seconds and it’s worth a try.
